We investigate polaron formation in a many-electron system in the presence of a local repulsion sufficiently strong to prevent local-bipolaron formation. Specifically, we consider a Hubbard-Holstein model of interacting electrons coupled to dispersionless phonons of frequency $\omega_0$. Numerically solving the model in a small one-dimensional cluster, we find that in the nearly adiabatic case $\omega_0 < t$, the necessary and sufficient condition for the polaronic regime to occur is that the energy gain in the atomic (i.e., extremely localized) regime ${\cal E}_{pol}$ overcomes the energy of the purely electronic system $ {\cal E}_{el}$. In the antiadiabatic case, $\omega_0 > t$, polaron formation is instead driven by the condition of a large ionic displacement $g/\omega_0 >1$ ($g$ being the electron-phonon coupling). Dynamical properties of the model in the weak and moderately strong coupling regimes are also analyzed.
