Kamienna Góra has something to be proud of

Already 40 firms have begun trading, or are about to invest within the Kamienna Góra Special Economic Zone for Small Businesses. The funds invested have exceeded 1.2 billion PLN and the number of people employed has reached a figure of 6 thousand. The Zone continues to offer new opportunities to firms that want to run businesses in Jelenia Góra.

- The zone provides exemptions, in the form of tangible gains. We don’t pay income tax, as a result of which we can increase our production. The small rotation of personnel is also pleasing, which means that the firm counts on the labour market – said Mr Gabriel Stępień, director of the administration and trade department of Dr. Schneider Automotive Poland Sp. z o.o.

The Dr. Schneider company, have been trading in the Kamienna Góra Zone (Janowice Wielkie) since 2006. Investments have also been undertaken by the producer of spices – Appetita of the firm Ziołopex (Nowogrodziec), Bo–Wa–De 2 – furniture (Kamienna Góra), safety belts – Takata Petri Parts Poland (Krzeszów), ceramic tiles – Ceramika Marconi (Piechowice), car parts and accessories – Autocam Poland (Kamienna Góra) and paper products - Wepa Professional (Piechowice).

Now the “capital of the Karkonosze hills” (Jelenia Góra) offers attractively placed plots in the area of Spółdzielcza and Objazdowa streets, within a planned business district, which has been added to the Kamienna Góra sub-zone.

– An undeveloped area of foundations of 9.5 ha awaits investors. The site under our disposal is within reach of the electrical, gas, water and sewage networks. The communications access to this land will improve shortly, when new sections of roads are built in this part of the town –  said Jelenia Góra’s President Mr Marek Obrębalski.

The president of the Kamienna Góra Zone Mr Szymon Madera, encourages investors to cooperate not only with the attractive locations of the plots. The Zone also offers favourable public aid. – An entrepreneur investing in the Kamienna Góra Special Economic Zone for Small Businesses doesn’t pay income tax – Mr Madera stressed.

Public aid at a level of 40% of the capital investments is available to investors, who decide to run businesses there for a minimum of five years. It may be at a level of 60%, or 50% in the cases of small and medium sized businesses, conducted over periods of at least 3 years. Also public assistance is given for the creation of new workplaces, maintained for a period of at least 5 years, and at a level of 40% of the value of 2 years of labour of the newly employed workers (60% or 50% the cases of small and medium sized businesses, on condition that the workplaces will be maintained for at least 3 years).

Irrespective of public assistance relating to investments in the Kamienna Góra Zone, an entrepreneur creating new workplaces in the Jelenia Góra area, may receive property tax exemption of a minimum level (de minimis). – Tax exemption relates to land for building, buildings and buildings or parts of them designated for commercial activities. It applies to each newly created workplace, and the joint period for withdrawal cannot be less than 5 years from the time of acquiring the benefit – Mr Obrębalski, said.

We treat everyone individually – Mr Madera, said. – We assist the investor at every stage of the investment process. Gaining permission for running a business in the Kamienna Góra Special Economic Zone for Small Businesses isn’t a complicated process. We assist in recruiting professional staff. We use the help of specialist firms specialising in recruitment, and we cooperate with the Poviat’s Labour Exchange, we also organise meetings with job seekers. Operating together with the local authorities we try to provide the investors with the essential technical infrastructure so that the planning of the investment can be carried out with ease. Everything we do is to help investors to be effective. (“Mo-Ja” Multimedia)
