Need to grow your team fast, or start a software company from scratch? We’ve done both.
We’re not a software house and not an outsourcing agency. We register the company, hire the people, run payroll and handle the day-to-day. The engineers work for you, not for us.
We help

Software companies
with more demand than their current team can handle, or a new product line they want built without expanding at home.

Start-ups
with funding and a product idea, but no engineering team yet.
FAQ
What is BranchWise, and what services does it provide?
We help software companies from abroad open a subsidiary or branch in Poland. That covers company registration, office space, recruitment, HR and payroll, and running the operation day to day.
Why should I consider expanding my software company to Poland?
Poland has a large pool of experienced engineers, EU law and regulations, and a central location in Europe. Salaries are lower than in Western Europe or the US, but the market is mature — you’re hiring people who have already worked for global companies.
What is the timeline for setting up a subsidiary in Poland?
It depends mostly on how many people you need to hire. The legal and registration part takes a few weeks; a working team is usually in place within three months. Our guide breaks the timeline down week by week, with the fees and the filing deadlines.
What are the legal and regulatory aspects I should be aware of when expanding to Poland?
Polish and EU company law, tax rules and labour regulations. We handle the compliance side, so you don’t need to learn Polish employment law to hire here. If you want the detail, our guide covers CIT, IP Box and the R&D relief, and what the filing deadlines actually are.
How can I ensure a smooth transition of knowledge from my current team?
We build a knowledge transfer plan with you: documentation, architecture and code review, shadowing and reverse shadowing, then a gradual handover. Read about our Knowledge Transfer process to see how it works.
Why should I open a local branch instead of outsourcing?
An outsourced team works for the vendor. Your own branch works for you — same values, same product ownership, and people who stay. You also keep control over data, hiring and priorities.
How can BranchWise help with setting up our branch office?
We handle the legal setup, administration, recruitment and management. Get started in four easy steps.
Can we retain ownership of our branch office in Poland?
Yes. It’s your company — we set it up and run it, you own it.
What are the costs associated with your services?
It depends on which services you need. We give you a transparent quote up front. Leave us your number and we’ll call back and walk you through it.
How is recruitment and finding local talent facilitated?
We run the whole recruitment process: sourcing, screening and interviews. We’ve interviewed hundreds of candidates here, so we know the local market and the salary levels.
Can I hire foreign employees?
Yes. For non-EU hires the Polish immigration rules apply and you’ll need to meet them.
Do I need office space for my subsidiary?
Plenty of teams work fully remote now. We see the appeal, but face-to-face time builds a stronger team, so we usually recommend a hybrid setup — and we’ll help you find office space that fits your budget. We wrote up what a virtual address, coworking and your own office actually cost in Poland.
Are ongoing support and management services for branch offices provided?
Yes: HR, payroll, accounting, office management and day-to-day operations.
Why choose us?
Tell us what you need. We handle the paperwork, the recruitment and the day-to-day management.
20 years of building and running engineering teams in Poland — hiring, culture, and shipping software.
It's your company
The branch is part of your company: your name, your values, your people. Not ours.
Common goal
We’d rather be a long-term partner than a vendor. That means being straight with you about costs, progress and problems.
