Frequently Asked Questions

Can a foreign investor set up a company in Spain?

Yes. Non-residents and foreign companies can own and run Spanish companies. Each shareholder and director normally needs a Spanish foreigner ID number (NIE), and much of the process can be handled remotely through a power of attorney. We guide you through each step.

Which type of company is best for my business in Spain?

The limited company (SL) is the most common choice for small and mid-sized businesses. A public limited company (SA) or a branch of a foreign company may suit other cases. The right option depends on your liability, investors, tax position and plans. We help you compare them.

How long does it take to set up a company in Spain?

It usually takes a few weeks. The timing depends on the name certificate, the bank account for the share capital, the notary signing and the registration in the Mercantile Registry. Having the NIEs and documents ready beforehand speeds it up.
