Practical notes

Standard bank facilities take four to eight weeks, while leasing can be arranged in one to three weeks.

Polish accounting standards and VAT records are scrutinised closely, so up to date filings speed up approval.

EU backed schemes require project documentation, which suits planned capital expenditure more than urgent working capital.

Questions

Is leasing cheaper than a bank loan in Warsaw?

Not always cheaper, but it is usually faster and requires less collateral, which suits businesses replacing vehicles or machinery on a rolling basis.

Do EU backed loans suit every business?

They suit planned investment projects with a clear scope, since funds are tied to the stated purpose. They are less useful for general working capital needs.

How do foreign owned banks in Warsaw compare with domestic ones?

Foreign owned subsidiaries often bring faster decision processes for standard facilities, while domestic banks can offer more flexibility on relationship based lending.
