Starting a business

It doesn't matter whether you are starting a brand new venture in Spain or are planning to extend your existing business into the Spanish market; there are some important issues that need to be considered. If these are not given the right degree of forethought then they could cause a whole host of complications for you and your business later down the line.

Who owns the business and where they live can have significant tax implications; whether the business is financed by money from the UK or Spain can generate a huge headache; and how the business is set up can make the difference between heartache and success.

Spain has earned the reputation of being a much more relaxed culture which is probably why most people choose to change their life and head towards this pleasant corner of the globe. But this wonderful mañana approach to life can become frustrating if you have business deadlines and commitments to meet, especially when it goes hand-in-hand with Spanish Bureaucracy which sometimes seems to conspire to make life difficult.

Our team is made up of mainly Spanish nationals who, as well as being highly qualified legal professionals, have been trained in the UK. This brings together an understanding of both Spanish bureaucracy and the mañana approach with the British obsession with time and 'doing things right'. Throw in multi-lingual skills and an understanding of both legal systems, and you have a legal force to be reckoned with.

So if you are thinking about opening a business in Spain or are about to sign on the dotted line, please contact the team at Irwin Mitchell Abogados and see what options are available to you.
