Advice on setting up a business in Spain

Setting up a business in Spain can be complex, with procedures varying depending on the chosen legal structure. Before beginning the process, it is essential to determine which type of company structure best suits the needs of your business – whether a Limited Liability Company (Sociedad Limitada – SL), Public Limited Company (Sociedad Anónima – SA), representative office, sole trader (autónomo), or another legal form.
When selecting the legal structure, key factors to consider include the number of partners, minimum share capital, liability to third parties, and tax obligations.
