How Polish funders assess a request
Filed financial statements from the KRS registry, VAT and ZUS/US clearance certificates, and bank statements form the core diligence. Outstanding tax or social insurance arrears are close to disqualifying until formally regularised.
Lenders look carefully at currency matching. If revenue is in EUR and debt in PLN, expect either a EUR facility or a hedging requirement built into the terms.
Where the market is strongest
Leasing is the standout: fast, commoditised and available to companies with limited history where the asset is standard. Factoring is similarly mature, with both recourse and non-recourse widely offered.
Investment projects — particularly manufacturing capacity, energy efficiency and renewables — can access EU-cofinanced and BGK-guaranteed structures that materially reduce the effective cost.
Timing and process
Leasing and factoring commonly complete in one to three weeks. Investment loans and grant-supported structures take two to four months because of scheme documentation.
Common structures in Poland

Questions
Can a foreign parent's Polish subsidiary raise local funding?
Yes, and it is common. Lenders may ask for a parent guarantee or comfort letter during the subsidiary's early years.
Is funding available in EUR?
Yes. EUR facilities are standard for exporters, and lenders generally prefer currency matched to your revenue.
Describe your requirement once and we structure it, then approach providers active in Poland whose criteria match. There are no upfront fees — all charges are due only once funding is in place.
