"Day one, from" is the low end of the state fees plus the minimum capital. The capital is not spent: it goes into the company's account and stays yours to use. Fees set on a scale or with a part still unpriced read "from". Notary, accountant and bank charges are not in the law and not in this table.

We hold no exchange rate, so a figure in crowns, forint, złoty, lei or kronor is shown as the law states it and never converted. How we check and how we rank: by the law's own figures, and nothing paid moves a row.
