Service Details

Business Set-Up

This service is available across Spain

Who Is This Service For?

If you have already decided on the type of business you want to run, and where you wish to locate it, then the main decision you will need to make is whether you should set it up as a limited company or as a sole trader.

This can be extremely important as you can save a considerable amount of money depending on which option you choose. Both have benefits and drawbacks.

Self-employed is of course cheaper to set-up and less costly to manage since the reporting requirements are lesser than in the case of limited companies.

On the other hand, limited companies do limit your liability in the case of a claim against your business, which depending on the type of business could be the only reason you need to opt for this type of structure. Otherwise, a limited company is rather more flexible when there are a number of partners or when the company has other, more complex attributes.

What Does This Service Consist Of?

  • Ensure legal interests are protected, especially when creating a company with several partners.
  • Drawing-up a notarial contract according to your guidelines, properly prepared and tailored to your objectives.
  • Ensuring that your Articles of Association contain all necessary elements.
  • Make sure that the application is made in accordance with the requirements of the Commercial Companies Code. With the power of attorney you will have granted to us, on your behalf we will register your company at all Government institutions and offices required by law.
  • Applying for company tax and identification numbers.
  • Obtaining all necessary documents, permits and approvals.
  • Dealing with bank formalities connected with setting up of the company bank account.
  • Once completed the registration process, we will draw up all other corporate documents required by the Commercial Companies Code.

Free Support Services Included

When combined with the free and innovative Advocate Abroad support services you can be sure that you are obtaining completely transparent legal services from registered and regulated English-speaking lawyers abroad.These support services include:

  • Verification of the regulatory status of your professional.
  • Fees as recommended by the Local Professional Body

  • Service levels agreed in advance and guaranteed.
  • All professionals must hold professional indemnity insurance.
  • Professionals' proficiency in English monitored.
  • Continuous quality controls and reviews.

Customer Reviews

Dariusz Wiatrak Feb, 16 2022

I have been working with Francisco for over 2 years. He is easy to reach very informative in all issues related to taxes in Spain for a foreigner.

Francisco is very professional and knowledgeable.

Colin Farrand, Malaga Jun, 05 2020

I am in Malaga and use your office in Zaragoza for my clients in that area.

They are very helpful and professional.

Jonathan Mackay, Jaca Mar, 12 2020

Francisco was extremely professional and answered our many questions promptly and clearly, both by phone and email. We feel very lucky to have had Francisco handle our Spanish Fiscal declaration.

The service was perfect, and we are very happy with the whole process.

John Hipper, Zaragoza Dec, 03 2019

Francisco was recommended to me by friends in Spain after they had a very positive experience with him. He was an excellent contact for me while I was in the process of buying a house in Spain.

It was an overwhelming experience buying from Canada, particularly because of the language barrier and the time difference, but Francisco did a fantastic job of explaining to me everything about the forms, taxes and the local processes.

He was helpful, friendly and informative. When I arrived in Spain to complete the purchase, I felt much more confident knowing that I had his advice and assistance, he even offered to help me fix a problem with my bank accounts when I didn't understand what was happening (language).

I would have no hesitation using his services again and highly recommend him to anyone in need of his assistance. I was 100% happy.

Eamonn Gomez, Madrid Sep, 29 2019

Francisco and Carmen did a great job handling my divorce. In this difficult time for me, they handled the issues with understanding and flexibility.

Francisco was very good in court and he could defend well against all the challenges made to the pre-nuptial contract my husband and I signed, so that it was upheld in full.

Eamonn Gomez, Madrid Sep, 07 2019

Francisco was extremely helpful, he couldn't have done more.

Antonina Hales, Zaragoza Sep, 22 2015

We contacted this law firm on several occasions with different questions (immigration, work contracts, rent of property, purchase of property) and they could always give us a thorough answer to our questions.

The lawyers provided us all necessary information and helped us to choose the best solution. They were very attentive and helpful. As we don’t speak Spanish, they accompanied us to all government offices.

CL, Pennsylvania Jun, 25 2015

Francisco did a great job of helping us through a process which required his diligence in order to be successful.

He worked hard on our behalf and we appreciated his determination.

Mark Hurst Aug, 18 2022

Inma was a 'Godsend' in moving us through the minefield that is the process of residency applications...mine as a European citizen was fast and very easy, but my wife's application as a UK citizen was complex & very precise. However, with Inma's help & expertise it was completed.

Inma is knowledgable, efficient, helpful, approachable, speaks perfect English (with a slight Scottish twang:-) and has a wonderful sense of humour. We cannot recommend her highly enough & we will use her for all of our legal needs in Spain. Thank-you Inma

Within hours of contacting Advocate Abroad, Inma was in touch with me.

My case came at a very unexpected and emotional time, however Inma took control of the situation immediately and was the best support I could have hoped for.

She clearly explained each step to me along the way, regularly updated me out of hours and was professional until the end. I felt very safe with my situation in her hands - she really knows her stuff and I wouldn't hesitate to use her services again.
