Recruitment Agencies for Sale and Investment in Europe

For sale: Employment agency in Poland (currently non-operating) A company with a clean track record, active licenses, and ready-to-use operational structure, enabling immediate operation and business development. Market context (key): Due to recent regulatory changes regarding the employment of foreign nationals in Poland: - Newly registered agencies face significantly limited opportunities to employ foreigners quickly. - Procedures have become increasingly time-consuming and costly. - The value of existing “clean” companies with a proven history and active KRAZ registration is rising. Such entities are becoming scarce, and their market value is steadily increasing. Company status: - Active company with no debts. - No arrears with ZUS, the Tax Office, or any other institutions. - All inspections completed without any remarks or penalties. - Current and valid KRAZ registration. - Ready for immediate operation. Key competitive advantage: The company is registered and operates in Bydgoszcz, which ensures: - Work permit processing times of 1–3 weeks, compared to Warsaw and other regions where procedures often take 2–3 months. This is one of the most important criteria for clients and employers when choosing an agency. Employees and contracts: - No permanent staff, providing full flexibility for the new owner (except for the two owners). - No employment obligations. - A small number of expiring contracts. - All current permits are valid, and there are few active contracts, although the business is not currently being operated as the owners are focusing on other projects. - The contracts were signed for a total value of a couple of million PLN (one contract alone was for blueberry picking for 100 people), but there was no time to fully develop and execute them. Revenue model: The company generated revenue through commissions on employee placements, paid by employers or recruiters. There are two types of contracts: - One-off contracts: Payment is received after a worker completes a short period of employment, usually from two weeks to one month. - Long-term contracts: The company is paid by the factory or employer based on the total number of hours worked by the employees. From this amount, workers are paid according to their hours, after deducting taxes, accommodation, maintenance costs, and any applicable fines. The margin retained by the company forms its revenue. Main advantages: - Clean history (no complaints, all inspections passed without fines). - Ability to obtain permits for foreign workers (new companies can no longer obtain permits unless they have operated for at least two years or can prove valid contracts). - Strategic location in Bydgoszcz with permit processing times of 1–2 weeks, compared to up to two months in other regions, including Warsaw. - Existing recruiter base of over 60 people, with an active TikTok group of 3,500 real subscribers (no bots). - Last year’s income amounted to approximately PLN 500,000.
