Setting up a Spanish limited company: your key to business success in Spain

As an entrepreneur taking the plunge into the Spanish market, setting up a Spanish limited company (Sociedad Limitada) could be the perfect way to realise your business ambitions. But as with any international venture, setting up a company in Spain brings its own unique challenges. Think language and cultural differences, a different legal environment and specific administrative requirements. That is why it is essential to have an experienced partner at your side.

Why choose a Spanish limited company?

The Spanish BV is the most commonly chosen legal form for entrepreneurs in Spain. This structure offers limited liability and flexibility, making it an ideal choice for both start-ups and established entrepreneurs. At ARM Abogados, we understand that you not only want to set up a company, but also lay the foundations for a successful and sustainable business in a new market.

Step-by-step to your Spanish business

Setting up a Spanish limited company involves several stages, with each component to be carefully addressed:

Preparatory phase:

In this phase, you will start collecting the necessary documents. This includes applying for an NIE, which is essential for all legal and tax dealings in Spain.

Establishment phase:

Now the actual incorporation process begins. Our team will help you draft the articles of association and compile the necessary documents. We will guide you through the registration of your limited company with the Spanish Trade Register and coordinate the notarial deed, so that your company is established in a legally watertight manner.

Aftercare and optimisation:

Once established, ARM Abogados is ready to advise you on tax optimisation, compliance and other business issues. We ensure that your company complies with all Spanish and European regulations from day one, so you can do business without worries.
