love_sunil80: If you have some good business Ideas which can be done please do suggest me. What kind of budget are we speaking about? I'm told that the magic number for starting a business in Poland is the 200,000zl figure.

Talk about pulling a figure out of the air.

It depends on what business it is, you can't just make up a figure and call it a magic number, unless you are Paul Daniels.

I would like to see lots of remote controlled bells.
basically a bell that would ring if you pushed a remote controlled button.
You could put the button in your wallet or as an application to your mobile phone and attach the electronical bell to your keys, so you wouldn't lose them.
When I was a kid we had a whistle operated bell that you attached to your keys, so if you whistled the bell would ring and you could find them. (where are they now? the market was obviously limited to those that could whistle but why should I have to pay for lazy kids in the playground? :)
Also you could attach the button to the T.V. and the bell to the T.V. remote control, so when you lose your remote you can push the button on the T.V. to find it.

In my opinion only a foreign drinks shop has chances to succeed in Poland.You bring all heavy alcohol drinks 24 h non-stop.

you will most likely be shocked by the blindness and bureaucracy that you will find while trying to set up business in PL, as foreigner. You will most likely give up after 6 months of trying hard and getting nowehere

But you can probably try to open a kebab stand ( that's what most "foreigners with limited funds who want to stay in Poland" ) do.

Persoanlly ive always liked the idea of opening up a garage that only specialises in brakes, exhausts and shocks. Tyres would also be an obvious choice but there are millions of Opony guys around already.

If you only specialise in the common parts of a car that need replacing and master a quick turn around i think it would do well. Just look at how succesful similar companies in the UK have been.

Harry: Indian restaurant. Especially one which can deliver in under an hour. Good suggestion but I guess restaurant business is not this easy it requires a good cook and man power. Indian take away and delivery at home is good idea though. Maybe import some products from India, some natural stuff which is hard to find in Poland and Europe.

ok, all joking aside- open a fabric store. I don't mean one that only sells wholesale. I mean a proper western style fabric store that stocks all kinds of fabric from dressmakers, home furnishing and crafting fabric. And- sell the fabric by the metre!!! I will be your first customer and I will buy lots and lots of fabric.
There is nothing like this in Poland. If you are Indian- you already have an inside scoop with fabric distributers. There is only something like Ikea but the fabric is easily recognized as Ikea or Leroy Merlin which doesn't have the nicest and then there are shops that sell but it is about 300 per metre.

People are interested in crafts and sewing and doing home renovations but there is no good fabric store in all of Poland.

there is no place in Warsaw where I can go into a shop and by two or three metres of home decor fabric. I do not want dress makers fabric. There are only places run by Indians where I can buy wholesale dressmakers fabrics - minimum 25 metres. I want home decor fabrics. I don't want what Ikea has because, well- it is Ikea. I want the same price as Ikea but different styles- much like the stores in the west.

I also don't mean a fabric store where you can only by based on a 50cm square and then you have to wait 4 weeks for it to arrive. I want to buy it when I go in to the store.

If you could give me any information about these stores in Wroclaw I would really appreciate it.

pip: If you could give me any information about these stores in Wroclaw I would really appreciate it. most of these stores/shops are actually quite little. i sometimes have reason to buy up to 6m lengths. problem is the width, which is never more than 1m 50cm. i usually buy near home so can't offer much about other shops. however, feniks in rynek might have something on one of its floors.

love_sunil80:

My friend is considering opening a college in Poland. He would like to know the procedures involved in opening a college in Poland. Can you guys put your input for the same. He is planning to start courses for Polish and for foreign students but only in English. Your suggestions are most welcome.
Thanks
Sunil

I think you should start a real estate business. One of our valued members on this forum was quite successful in buying a few sheds in Poland and turning them into 12th century medieval castles with fully operational moats. People tend to steal stuff a lot in PL :( so moats are popular for an obvious reason.

He made enough money to start a Jet Ski rental business in Libya but unfortunately the Jet Ski got confiscated by a group of rebels during the final charge on Gaddafi’s headquarters a few moths ago. Small world, anyway, the real estate is the way to go, or better yet, start a 7/11 chain, you can’t go wrong with that.

Best of luck.

This loser above had to actually leave Poland to make any money, in fact he joined the army of another country. We call him the superior Pole, He likes to think hes better than everybody else.

I wasn't talking to you a$shole. Jeez some people are so rude on this forum.

anyway, so how is your castle coming along, WB? Perhaps you should think about getting a few English long-bowmen back from home to man the walls. It would add some authenticity to the whole thing, or you could hire someone from India to do that, either way. Indians are cheaper though, and not as lazy, so you know. Hmm, I've heard OP is looking for a job in PL. He's Indian. Here, a 4 step business idea for you:

1) Build an English medieval castle in Poland
2) Men the walls
3) Declare yourself a King of all villages of Wroclaw.
4) Profit :)
