Ready-made companies
Establishing a company involves a lot of formalities. The hours spent in offices and the need for specialized accounting and legal knowledge can effectively deter from registering a new company. There is an alternative to this lengthy process and that is to buy an existing company. This solution is gaining popularity because it saves a lot of time. The process of setting up a brand new company can take up to 6 weeks, while buying an existing one allows you to start your business even on the same day. The general process of selling a company can be described as follows:
- Issuance of approval for the sale of shares by the company.
- Completion of formalities related to the disposal of the right of priority acquisition of shares.
- Formulation of the content and form of the conclusion of a contract for the sale of company shares.
- Notification of the company's employees about the acquisition of shares.
- Payment of PCC (tax on civil law transactions) and filing of a tax return.
Procedure for buying a ready-made company
From a buyer's perspective, the process is not complicated either. The first step is to obtain information from the seller regarding the company itself, including the amount of capital, the content of the company's articles of association, its registered office, etc.
Nowadays, companies are most often registered online in S24. Then the sale of shares is also done online. All forms are filled out in S24, and the parties sign the registration application using a trusted profile or qualified electronic signature. The whole process takes a very short time, up to 2 hours. Once the application is paid for, the documents confirming the transaction can be generated.
If the company's contract was concluded in the form of a notarial deed, then the sale purchase agreement must take place in the presence of a notary so that he can certify the signatures of the parties. The application for registration of changes in the KRS must be submitted electronically through the Court Registry Portal and signed with a trusted profile or qualified electronic signature.

Ready-made company - what is it?
A ready-made company is a registered entity that has a KRS, NIP and REGON number and a very wide range of PKD codes. The share capital is PLN 5000. Our companies have a declared VAT and VAT-EU number.
