Setting up and conducting branches and representative offices of their own entities is counted as forms of conducting business activities by foreign entrepreneurs in Poland. In Poland the Act on freedom of business activity regulates the terms of setting up and conducting representative offices and branches by foreign entrepreneurs. These forms are frequently chosen by foreign entrepreneurs, as they might be identical with the activity conducted in the country of origin, and allow to avoid the necessity of setting up new business entities which would have to be established and act under the Polish law and would be related to the foreign entrepreneur only in terms of the capital. A following table shows basic features of both forms of conducting business activities by foreign entrepreneurs.
