From the notary appointment to AEAT tax filing and Social Security: we incorporate your full SL or SA. NIE, NIF, bank account and Modelo 036 handled — you focus on the business.
Official partners & authorities
Legal Forms
In Spain, the Sociedad Limitada (SL) is the absolute standard — 95% of SMEs use it. The SA is reserved for large projects or IPOs. The Autónomo route suits solo professionals with moderate revenue.
✅ The standard — 95% of Spanish SMEs
Ideal for e-commerce, consulting, professional services, restaurants, import-export and any Spanish SME. Liability is limited to the contributed capital — your personal assets stay protected. Simple to run and fully recognised in the market.
⚡ Express setup via CIRCE — 24-48 hours
Designed for founders who want to incorporate fast through the CIRCE (PAE) network using the single electronic document (DUE). Tax incentives in early years. A great option for startups and digital projects that need to be live within days, not weeks.
🏛️ Large company, capital raising, BME listing
For large companies, projects with multiple institutional investors or plans to list on BME or BME Growth. Shares are freely transferable. Stricter corporate governance and higher administrative costs — only worthwhile at a certain scale.
👤 Solo professional, registered under RETA
Freelancers, consultants, liberal professionals and small traders with moderate revenue. Taxed under IRPF (progressive scale) with a flat RETA contribution in the first years. Unlimited liability — personal assets are exposed, so not recommended for higher-risk projects.
Incorporation Process
Thanks to the CIRCE system and electronic notaries, Spain is now one of the fastest EU countries to incorporate a company. Realistic timeline below.
We agree on the legal form (SL vs SLNE vs SA), shareholders, director and business purpose (CNAE codes). We request the Negative Name Certificate from the Central Mercantile Registry — three name options in order of preference.
If shareholders or directors are non-residents, we obtain their NIE via consulate or local representative. We request the provisional company NIF from AEAT so the bank account can be opened before the deed.
We open a bank account in the name of the company in formation (BBVA, Santander, CaixaBank, Sabadell or N26 Business). Share capital is deposited (min €3,000 for SL) and the bank issues the capital certificate for the notary.
The escritura de constitución is signed before the notary, including articles, appointment of director and declaration of beneficial owners. The notary electronically files certified copies with the Mercantile Registry and AEAT.
The Mercantile Registry reviews and registers the company. Once registered, the company has full legal personality. The definitive NIF is issued and the company can invoice and sign contracts.
We file Modelo 036 (census and VAT options), register the director under RETA if applicable, and enrol in the ROI (intra-community operators register) for EU sales. E-invoicing and statutory books are set up.
Spain is the fourth-largest economy in the eurozone, the gateway to 450 million European consumers and a natural bridge to 600 million Spanish speakers in Latin America.
With a Spanish SL you sell into all 27 EU countries with no customs. Harmonised VAT regime (OSS for B2C), free movement of goods, services and professionals. Spain also benefits from preferential trade ties with Latin America.
Corporate Income Tax (IS) is 25% in general, but newly incorporated companies are taxed at 15% for the first two profitable years. On top of that, R&D credits (up to 42%) and hiring incentives.
Shared language, double-tax treaties with almost every LATAM country and a highly integrated business community. A Spanish SL is the preferred European hub for Mexican, Colombian and Argentine groups operating in the EU.
ENISA offers participative loans to startups (€25K–€1.5M). ICO funds SMEs with soft terms. CDTI grants R&D subsidies. On top of that, very active regional schemes (Madrid, Catalonia, Basque Country) for entrepreneurs.
The impatriate tax regime (Beckham Law) lets foreign professionals and entrepreneurs pay a flat 24% on employment income up to €600K for six years. Hugely attractive for relocated founders and senior executives.
Labour and office costs are clearly below Germany, France or the UK. First-class infrastructure (AVE high-speed rail, fibre across 90% of the country), respected healthcare system and a climate that retains international talent.
Just these documents — our notary, gestor and lawyer handle the rest.

Yes. There is no residency requirement for shareholders or directors. You will need a NIE (Foreigner Identification Number), which we can obtain via consulate or through a representative in Spain. Many of our clients form their SL without ever travelling to Spain until the notary signing (which can even be done by power of attorney).
Notary fees approx €300-€600, Mercantile Registry €100-€250, name certificate €15, plus tax-advisor and legal handling. Our turnkey package sits on top. You always receive a written fixed-fee quote before we start — no surprises.
Depends. If your activity is VAT-liable (most are: trade, professional services, e-commerce), you must charge VAT from the first invoice and file Modelo 303 quarterly. If you sell to B2B clients in the EU, you should register on the ROI to issue reverse-charge invoices.
Autónomo: taxed under IRPF (progressive 19%-47%) and personally liable. SL: taxed at 25% (15% for the first two profitable years), liability limited to capital. As a rule of thumb: below €40K-€50K annual profit, autónomo is usually more efficient. Above that, the SL wins on both tax and image.
If you move to Spain and have not been a tax resident in the previous five years, you can opt for the impatriate regime: flat 24% on employment income up to €600,000 (47% above) for six years instead of the general scale. Applicable to executives, qualified professionals and, since 2023, founders of innovative startups. We file Modelo 149 within the deadline.
Yes, no customs. For B2C sales above €10,000/year EU-wide, you must use the One-Stop-Shop (OSS) and declare destination-country VAT. For B2B, the reverse-charge mechanism applies after ROI registration. We advise on all intra-community VAT flows and configure your invoicing.
Clarify cost, setup, local fit and operations for company registration in Spain with ZunaPro.
Companies searching for company registration in Spain usually compare more than the service name. They look for cost, timeline, a reliable team, local fit and the speed at which the project can become usable.
The page should answer technical and commercial questions together. A visitor needs to understand what will be done, in which order and what will be delivered.
ZunaPro brings legal structure, tax registration, banking, accounting, official documents and market entry planning into one plan. The work does not stay as a design or setup task; it becomes an operating structure the team can actually use.
In Spain, language, payment habits, documentation expectations, delivery or support models can directly influence the result. Discussing these points early reduces rework.
In Spain local Bizum/Visa acceptance, IVA-clear pricing and a Spanish phone line raise conversion.
Before requesting a quote or starting the project, these points should be clear.
| Topic | What It Clarifies | What ZunaPro Does |
|---|---|---|
| Entity Type | Clarifies expectations, data and responsibility for Entity Type. | Connects Entity Type to proposal, setup and ongoing management. |
| Tax And Accounting | Clarifies expectations, data and responsibility for Tax And Accounting. | Connects Tax And Accounting to proposal, setup and ongoing management. |
| Banking And Payments | Clarifies expectations, data and responsibility for Banking And Payments. | Connects Banking And Payments to proposal, setup and ongoing management. |
| Launch Operations | Clarifies expectations, data and responsibility for Launch Operations. | Connects Launch Operations to proposal, setup and ongoing management. |
Entity Type sets the plan for how company registration should be delivered in Spain. Scope, timeline and responsibility are written down at this stage so revisions stay rare. Once the plan is locked each team sees its own boundary and small details that look minor at first are still included in the proposal.
When the Entity Type plan moves to the field, internal roles, approval chains and reporting cadence are defined too. Progress is measured at fixed checkpoints instead of constant meetings, and decisions follow a process rather than a single person.
In practice, Entity Type should run as a short loop that includes team reviews, customer feedback and real data from the field. At the end of each loop the owner, timeline and expected output of the next step are written down so progress depends on a system, not on a single person.
In Spain, language, payment habits, documentation expectations, delivery or support models can directly influence the result. Discussing these points early reduces rework.
During Tax And Accounting, the buyer needs to see which step happens in which order and what is delivered. Local language, payment and compliance details for Spain are discussed here. A transparent process shortens revision cycles, reduces knowledge loss between teams and keeps the delivery calendar reliable.
During Tax And Accounting, real user scenarios from the Spain market are tested. Whether the local customer prefers phone, message or a form, and where they hesitate during payment, becomes visible at this stage.
A small but critical detail in Tax And Accounting is the content approval chain. Every sentence going live in Spain should be reviewed once more by a local reader; this protects brand tone, legal fit and conversion potential at the same time.
With the right structure, teams stop recreating the same information in different places. Sales, operations, support and management can make decisions from one shared source.
Banking And Payments is the area that creates the gap between a quote and the real cost. For brands researching Company Registration, scope width, content production and integrations shape the total budget. When cost lines are listed individually, comparing offers becomes easier and ROI can be measured from the start.
To read the Banking And Payments cost line correctly, one-time and monthly figures must sit on separate rows. As scale grows in Spain, integrations, content updates and reporting drive most of the recurring spend.
The Banking And Payments cost line requires the recurring and variable parts to be visible in writing. Growth decisions like a seasonal campaign, an extra language or a new product category should already be marked on the budget.
ZunaPro turns company registration into a reliable, compliant and scalable business launch by managing scope, technical setup, content structure, tracking and improvement together.
Launch Operations keeps living after launch. To keep selling in Spain, maintenance, reporting and content updates must be planned from day one. Without a clear post-launch plan a project erodes within months; a steady support routine keeps brand value intact.
The Launch Operations block must turn into a loop of analysis, content refresh, campaign work and technical maintenance. As traffic grows in Spain, every part of this loop needs a clear owner.
The Launch Operations block must be fed continuously with customer questions, support tickets and performance data. As live traffic grows in Spain, the behaviour patterns that emerge are the most valuable input for setting the priorities of the next release.
Looking only at the starting price can be misleading. Maintenance, integrations, number of languages, reporting and security requirements shape the real value.
Every project is different, yet company registration work in Spain usually follows a similar order. The steps below summarise the practical path from the first call to going live and clarify what to look for when reading a proposal.
Many companies make a company registration decision based only on the starting price. Maintenance cost, local fit and missing reporting often force the project to be rebuilt months later.
When planning company registration for Spain, local language, payment habits and official procedures should be discussed early. Customer trust is built when contact, invoicing, delivery and support stay consistent.
Spain requires attention to the Madrid-Barcelona axis, access to Portugal and seasonal demand swings.

In Spain local Bizum/Visa acceptance, IVA-clear pricing and a Spanish phone line raise conversion.
The three scenarios below show how company registration positions itself at different scales in the Spain market. The goal is for each business to spot the profile closest to its own situation and to ask the right questions from the start.
A company registration proposal for Spain should show its components clearly. Itemised quotes prevent later surprises and make comparison between providers possible.
The value of Company Registration comes not from launch day but from the steady support that follows. As customer behaviour, campaigns and technical needs in Spain change, the site, system or operation must adapt with them.
