do not translate it
Explanation:
It is a part of the company's name as it is registered in the Polish court. Besides, there are certain legal differences between the Polish spolka z o.o. and the limited liability company as it is understood in the English law. The best way is not to translate it.

LLC


Explanation:
In my opinion you should leave it in Polish but definetely insert translator's note (LLC) - it is a very important part of the company structure - it is NOT a proper name. In English the closest thing to Sp. z o.o. would be a Limited Liability Company.
