A civil law partnership is often used as a form of conducting business activities. The name is slightly confusing, since the civil law partnership is not a business entity, but an agreement concluded between the partners, regulated by the regulations of the Polish Civil Code (art. 860 - 875). Therefore, individual partners, as natural persons, rather than a company are subject to an entry in the business activity register.

In partnership partners commit themselves to achieve a common economic goal by acting in the specified way, in particular by contribution in the business. These contributions are creating marital assets of partners which cannot be divided among the partners, until the moment of dissolution of the company.
The company partners are responsible jointly for partnership obligations which means that the creditor can demand from every partner payment of debts in one piece, and the given partner must satisfy creditor’s requirements. Only then the partner can demand a return of the adequate share from other partners.
Registration of the civil law partnership
Each of the partners is subject to an entry in the business activity register individually, according to the terms described in another part of this article on registering business activity of natural persons. A REGON number is being given to the company.
