A client registered a Spółka Jednoosobowa but didn’t plan to start active operations right away. Unexpectedly, she faced the obligation to pay full ZUS contributions of 2,200 PLN per month — regardless of whether she had any income. The W12 & Wikielson team carried out a procedure to suspend the company’s operations and the functions of the management board president, completely canceling the mandatory payments. The client gained legal security and kept her budget for the real start of her business.

The Problem and Client's Challenges
Client Profile:
Business Sector
Startup (no operations yet)
Business Structure:
Spółka Jednoosobowa (sole shareholder and management board president)
Location
Poland
Challenges and Issues:
The client had recently registered a company as a Spółka Jednoosobowa, planning to start active operations later. However, she ran into the harsh reality of Polish law: the status of sole founder requires paying full ZUS (about 2,200 PLN per month) regardless of whether any business activity is taking place or income is being generated.
Client’s state of mind: shock and complete confusion about her obligations. She was not prepared for such a monthly financial burden “out of nowhere” and reached out to us at a critical moment.
Specific problems faced:
Financial burden
Mandatory monthly ZUS payments with no income, risking rapid depletion of her starting capital.
Lack of legal knowledge
Like many foreigners registering a business in Poland, she didn’t know about the strict rules for Spółka Jednoosobowa.
Stress and panic
The threat of accumulating debt to ZUS and being unable to operate under those conditions.
The Solution by W12 & Wikielson Specialists
Мы оперативно включились в ситуацию, когда клиентка буквально «взялась за голову» от неожиданных новостей о долгах перед ZUS. Наша команда не просто обработала документы – мы выступили как бизнес-консультанты, спасающие бюджет клиента еще до того, как средства были потрачены.
We carried out the following steps:
Expert audit
Quickly analyzed the company’s status and current ZUS obligations, assessing the scale of potential debt.
Suspension of operations procedure
Профессионально провели полную процедуру zawieszenie działalności spółki (приостановка деятельности компании), что освобождает от уплаты ZUS на период простоя.
Suspension of management board president functions
Одновременно оформили приостановку выполнения функций Prezesa, чтобы полностью исключить любые личные обязательства клиентки по взносам.
Консалтинг по рискам
Explained all legal duties and nuances so that when she resumes operations, she won’t fall into the same trap.
Legal security
Provided full documentation support, ensuring all actions are legal and the company can be easily “unfrozen” at any time for a real start.

Client Testimonial
«I registered my company, but I didn’t plan to start working right away. Then I suddenly found out that I had to pay over 2,000 zlotys every month just because the company exists!
I was horrified – that would have eaten up all my savings before I even started. The team at W12 & Wikielson didn’t just explain what to do; they took care of everything. They handled the suspension, and now I don’t owe ZUS anything.
I can calmly plan the real launch, knowing my company is in order and not just eating up money. Huge thanks for your professionalism and human approach!»
