When starting a business abroad, all your efforts and energy are focused on creating and developing the company. Trusting those who help along the way seems natural. However, for some entrepreneurs, this trust can backfire. A client approached us after facing unauthorized use of her personal data. Now, she needs to regain control of her company and prevent potential legal and financial consequences.
One of our clients decided to register a company for subsequent sale. She sought help from someone she knew and entrusted them with all the necessary documents, including her digital signature. Expectations that the registration would proceed quickly and conclude with a successful sale were not met. When the client returned home, she discovered she had lost control over her company. As a result, not only was her company registered in her name, but several others she wasn’t even aware of. When she decided to check the information in the registry, she realized she was only beginning to unravel the issue…
During registration, our client was issued a PESEL and a Profil zaufany, but the contact information in these systems (phone number and email) was not hers but belonged to the person who now controls access to company information.
