Frequently Asked Questions

Can a foreigner set up a company in Spain?

Yes. You will need an NIE and, if you are not an EU citizen, a permit that allows you to work for yourself or in your own company. We help with both.

Self-employed or limited company: which is better?

It depends on expected income, the risk of the activity and whether you'll have partners. A company limits your liability but costs more to run. We assess it with you in the free consultation.

How much capital do I need for an SL?

Since 2022 it can be set up with €1, although special reserve and liability rules apply until capital reaches €3,000.

What is the Second Chance Law?

The legal mechanism that lets individuals and self-employed people acting in good faith discharge debts they cannot pay. We check whether you qualify and coordinate the process with a collaborating lawyer.
