How I solve complex challenges
Over 16 years of practice I have gathered dozens of stories. Here are the few I can share publicly.
Saving a KRAZ licence in 48 hours
The client had handed the Polish company registration to the first specialists they came across. Those specialists used a mass-registration address — over 300 firms were listed at it. Officials deemed the company unreliable and gave one week to change the address in the register. A licence refusal would have meant a full stop to a business that had not even started.
- Assessed how urgent and critical the situation was and agreed the plan of action with the client.
- Within 48 hours secured a valid corporate address from a vetted partner network.
- Prepared the document package and filed the application to amend the company register.
- Supported the client through to the start of operations and helped with business partners.
The KRAZ licence was retained. The business launched without losses.
A €300,000 cross-border asset purchase
A client from a third country wanted to buy an apartment in Europe for around €300,000. The seller and the notary accept only a bank transfer from a European account — cash was out of the question. The client had neither a company nor any registered activity in the EU. Moving such a sum into a personal account in a new country is a direct risk of a months-long freeze.
- Prepared a complete document package on the origin of the funds.
- Walked the case through with the banks’ compliance officers in advance.
- Opened several accounts in parallel so no single decision could block the deal.
- Guided the client through KYC and the final compliance procedures.
Accounts opened, funds deposited, transfer completed, apartment bought. Pre-compliance makes the difference.
Tier-1 bank accounts for companies with foreign beneficial owners
German and Polish banks were rejecting account applications en masse for companies with foreign beneficial owners. Standard document packages fail compliance — the client gets a boilerplate refusal with no explanation.
- Ran a pre-compliance review before the application was filed.
- Prepared the business plan and KYC forms to Tier-1 bank standards.
- Accompanied the client to the bank meetings and aligned the answers to their questions.
Accounts opened at Commerzbank, PKO BP and other Tier-1 banks.
