    Expansion abroad with a single point of contact

    Entering a new market does not have to mean juggling firms in several countries. As a member of Alliott Global Alliance, we run your project from Poland and coordinate local advisers, so you have one point of contact - from choosing the jurisdiction, through registration and tax, to ongoing support. Setting up in Poland? See Company Formation.

    Legal position: August 2026.

    What we cover

    Choosing the jurisdiction

    We help match the country to your business goal - tax, market and formalities - before decisions on structure are made:

    • comparing jurisdictions for cost and risk,
    • matching the form of activity to your expansion plans,
    • a step map and timeline for market entry.

    • restructuring of the international structure,

    Frequently asked questions

    Do you set up companies abroad yourselves?

    We run and coordinate the whole project from Poland, and carry out the local steps together with trusted partners from the Alliott Global Alliance network.

    This gives you a single point of contact and consistent handling, while the formalities in a given country are done by a partner who knows the local law and procedures.

    What is Alliott Global Alliance?

    It is an international network of independent law and advisory firms of which we are a member.

    Thanks to the membership, we coordinate local advisers for you in many countries, keeping one consistent contact on the Polish side.

    Which countries can you help in?

    The scope depends on the availability of a network partner in a given country - in practice it covers many markets in Europe and beyond.

    At the discussion stage we confirm whether and how we can run the project in the jurisdiction you are interested in.

    What does the cooperation look like step by step?

    We start from the goal and the choice of jurisdiction, then coordinate registration, tax and getting operations running via a local partner.

    You talk to one team on the Polish side, and we tie the local advisers, documents and deadlines into one whole.

    How long and how much does setting up a company abroad take?

    Time and cost depend on the country and the form of activity - in some jurisdictions registration is fast, in others it needs more formalities.

    Once the jurisdiction is set, we give a realistic timeline and cost estimate, including local fees.

    How do I avoid double taxation?

    The key is the right structure and the use of double-taxation treaties between Poland and the target country.

    We coordinate tax advisers on both sides so the structure is efficient and compliant.

    Can I have a single point of contact for the whole project?

    Yes - it is the core of our model: you run the whole project through one team in Poland.

    We coordinate the local partners and advisers, so you do not have to manage several firms across different countries yourself.

    Will you help with a bank account abroad?

    Yes - we support preparing the documentation and meeting the bank's requirements, coordinating the process with the local partner.

    Opening an account depends on the specific bank's policy, so we help you get through KYC and beneficial-owner requirements.

    How do I employ workers in another country?

    Employment abroad requires fitting local labour law and insurance, and sometimes a posting structure.

    We coordinate local advisers so the contracts and employer duties comply with the law of the target country.

    Will you help protect our brand and IP abroad?

    Yes - we coordinate trademark registration and IP protection in the markets you enter.

    We work with local attorneys and IP firms to build a consistent protection strategy across multiple countries.
