Ukrainian Desk
Our approach
We support Ukrainian entrepreneurs in entering the Polish market and further developing their businesses in Poland, and we support Polish entrepreneurs in preparing and implementing business projects in Ukraine. We combine legal, tax, accounting, and financial expertise, enabling us to guide clients through the entire process of entering a new market - from selecting a business model and investment structure to providing ongoing support for a growing business. We help prepare businesses to operate within the Polish and EU regulatory frameworks and translate business plans into practical solutions that support growth in a new market.
For whom?
Our services are aimed at Ukrainian entrepreneurs, founders, and investors planning to launch or expand their businesses in Poland, as well as companies with Ukrainian capital that are already present on the Polish market. We also support Polish companies preparing to enter the Ukrainian market, expand their operations there, or carry out projects in collaboration with local partners. Our services are also available to international groups conducting business across both markets.
Our team helps entrepreneurs safely expand their businesses between Poland and Ukraine by providing them with access to practical, coordinated support.
