Bookstore businesses in Poland

Offering something new or in a reimagined fashion is a good way to attract clients of all ages.

Entrepreneurs who want to open a Polish bookstore can choose between offering a wide variety of titles and genres or selecting just a few niche fields for their clients. They can specialize in biographies, travel literature, antique books or children’s books.

How to open a company in Poland
A Polish bookstore is typically incorporated in the form of a private limited liability company. Entrepreneurs select an available business name, draft the Articles of Association, open a bank account and submit the minimum share capital and register the company with the National Court Register. Additional permits are obtained after this stage and the company also needs to obtain its tax and identification numbers.
