Buyback of companies

If you have ceased operations, your company has never been active, and you are concerned about the costs of liquidation and the associated paperwork, please feel free to contact us. We specialise in purchasing debt-free companies registered with the National Court Register (KRS). We cover notary fees and handle all formalities related to the company acquisition process, and if the company has real value, we will also appraise it accordingly.

If you are interested, we also offer the option to purchase a new, READY-TO-USE COMPANY

At Ready2Go, we offer professional services related to commercial law entities, including the purchase of a company, which is much simpler and faster than registering one from scratch. We offer proven, debt-free business entities that are ready to begin operations within 24 hours of purchase. By using our services, you can count on expert advice on selecting the right entity, as well as full support related to the transfer of ownership.

What are ready-made companies for sale?

Our offer is a proven and completely legal solution that is highly regarded by our clients in Poland and abroad. It allows you to become the owner of a company ready to conduct business in a very short time, without having to complete the series of formalities typical of the standard company formation process.

Simply put, buying a company involves acquiring its shares (most often, the companies for sale are limited liability companies, or sp. z o.o.), as well as making a few necessary changes to the entry in the National Court Register (KRS) regarding, for example, the shareholders, management board, name, PKD codes, etc. Importantly, you do not have to wait for the entry to be made in the register to start operating: you can begin immediately after the notarial transfer of ownership.

The ready-made companies for sale in our portfolio are most often companies registered for the purpose of resale (which have never been active), or companies with a certain history of operations that, for various reasons, their owners no longer wish to continue running. In both cases, when you decide to purchase such an entity, you can be certain that it meets the following conditions:

• • is registered with the National Court Register (KRS),
  • has been assigned NIP and REGON numbers,
  • is registered for VAT and EU VAT (some older companies that have been in business for more than 12 months may file VAT returns quarterly),
  • has no financial obligations (e.g. loans), nor any overdue debts (to business partners, institutions or the State Treasury),
  • is not bound by any contracts,
  • has no credit history with BIK, or has only a positive one,
  • has a broad PKD classification, allowing you to start operations immediately in a variety of industries of your choice.

Our catalogue of ready-to-purchase companies also includes entities licensed to provide specific services. We primarily offer limited liability companies, but we also have joint-stock companies and limited partnerships.

Buying a Company – Why Is It Worth It?

Purchasing an existing company is an alternative to starting one from scratch. While the latter option has many advantages, it requires completing a number of formalities and is quite time-consuming.

For example, forming a limited liability company requires drafting the articles of association, contributing the initial capital, preparing the documentation necessary to register the company with the National Court Register (KRS), and finally filling out at least a few forms, on the basis of which the court makes the entry in the register. Fortunately, specialised law firms can assist with this process, significantly streamlining this stage of company formation, and you can also count on Ready2Go for a full range of such services.

After submitting an application to the National Court Register (KRS), you must wait about a dozen or so days for the court to review it; however, the waiting time for the actual entry depends on many factors (including the scope of the documentation for the changes). After registering the company with the KRS, it is also necessary to file the required notifications with the tax office. Although REGON and NIP numbers are assigned automatically upon entry into the National Court Register, the company must still complete formalities related to VAT registration. These involve a visit by tax office inspectors to the company’s headquarters, for which entrepreneurs must wait patiently, sometimes for several weeks. In practice, it often takes as long as three months from the moment you begin the process of establishing a commercial company until the business actually starts operating.

Compared to the procedure described above for starting a business from scratch, purchasing an existing company is much simpler and faster. Entrepreneurs who choose this method of handling the formalities can count on many benefits. Below are the most important ones:

• • minimal paperwork – purchasing a ready-made company simply involves signing a notarial deed authorising the transfer of ownership of the shares, appointing a new management board, and making the necessary changes to the National Court Register (KRS),
  • the ability to choose a company perfectly tailored to your needs – Ready2Go’s offering includes limited liability companies (sp. z o.o.), joint-stock companies (S.A.) and limited partnerships (sp. k.), with various registration dates; companies that have never been active, as well as those with a history of operations, revenue, etc.,
  • a realistic prospect of starting operations within 24 hours – we offer companies for sale with complete documentation, allowing you to immediately enter into contracts with suppliers and customers, open a corporate bank account, issue invoices, etc.,
  • a company immediately registered for VAT and EU VAT – most of the companies we offer have already completed the VAT registration process, so after purchasing a ready-made entity, you do not have to worry about these formalities (which can sometimes take several months) and you can start issuing invoices right away,
  • quarterly VAT – our portfolio includes companies with at least 12 months of operation that meet the requirements for filing VAT returns once every three months, a benefit the buyer of the company can take advantage of,
  • licences – we offer companies with an established licence for, among other things, international transport, passenger transport or freight forwarding, which means that a business idea covered by such a licence can be implemented immediately upon leaving the notary’s office,
  • better market position – every company for sale has a history in the National Court Register (KRS), sometimes spanning several years, thanks to which the company is perceived as more credible than a newly established business,
  • the ability to meet the requirements for tenders and grant competitions immediately after purchasing the company – this refers to the common requirement that the business has been operating for a sufficiently long period, e.g. 12 months,
  • savings in time, stress and money – buying a ready-made company lets you avoid many of the problems typical of starting a business from scratch by reducing paperwork to a minimum and saving a significant amount of time; you can also save money.

At Ready2Go, you will find only reliable and “clean" entities for purchase: companies established specifically for resale and guaranteed to be free of liabilities. We sell companies throughout Poland, offering to travel to any location requested by the client and providing comprehensive legal services in this regard. For entrepreneurs who want to start operating their new business as quickly as possible, we offer additional services: we can immediately provide the new company with an address at our virtual office, as well as professional accounting and HR services.

Who are ready-made companies for?

Given the above benefits, purchasing a company seems like an attractive solution primarily for entrepreneurs who want to launch their business under a new company’s name as quickly as possible. This applies in particular to individuals planning to conduct licensed business activities, such as those related to transport and freight forwarding. It is worth noting that the waiting time for a transport licence in Poland is 3 months (this is the maximum time the authorities have to review an application), which is why purchasing a company that already holds a licence is by far the more advantageous option.

Both young and experienced entrepreneurs turn to our law firm for ready-made companies; they simply want to save time on unnecessary formalities associated with starting a business from scratch. Sometimes this is driven by the desire to take part in an attractive tender or a competition for EU grants, where the application must be submitted very quickly while still meeting the prior requirement of having been in business for a sufficiently long period. The purchase of an entity that meets this requirement can be finalised in a single day.

We invite you to take advantage of our comprehensive legal services: we offer not only the purchase of a company but also professional assistance in registering a new business entity. We handle most matters over the phone and online, which significantly streamlines the entire process of handling the paperwork.
