Poles are a growing community of IT specialists, engineers and traders, so the SAIF Zone authority, the banks and the immigration officers see Polish applications every day and process them without hesitation. The most common businesses Poles open through GoldenKey are in IT and software, furniture, cosmetics and food exports, although SAIF Zone supports almost any activity.
