Person authorised to represent the entity in the GUS form — sole proprietor

Does the field for the person authorised to represent the entity apply to a sole proprietor?

Yes. The explanatory note in the GUS classification form lists “a natural person starting/conducting business activity” among the persons authorised to represent the entity. The field therefore also covers the owner of a sole proprietorship — it is not intended exclusively for representatives of companies or partnerships.

The list is introduced by the Polish abbreviation “np.”, meaning “for example”. These are examples, not an exhaustive list of persons.
