Scope

What we do, and what we don't.

Better to know before you start than halfway through.

We do

The formation

Formation of the SL through the PAE system, as an official PAE point, without charging fees when you take the monthly plan.

We do

The tax set-up

The company's digital certificate, the tax registration (form 036) with the application for the intra-EU register (ROI), and EORI and One-Stop Shop registration if you sell abroad.

We do

Everything afterwards

Bookkeeping in Holded, all tax returns, corporate tax, annual accounts and tax-office notifications, in one monthly fee.

We don't

NIE and powers of attorney

We do not process NIE applications for non-residents, or arrange powers of attorney, apostilles or sworn translations.

We don't

Sign on your behalf

We do not appear before the notary as your representative. You sign, or a representative you appoint does.

We don't

Office address or bank account

We do not provide a registered office or virtual office, and we do not open the company's bank account.

How it works

From idea to a company that can invoice.

We do not promise dates that depend on the notary, the Registry or the Tax Agency.

  1. 01

    A call

    Who the shareholders and the director are, where they live, what the company will do and when you need it.

  2. 02

    Name and deed

    We prepare the formation. You, or your representative, sign the deed before a Spanish notary.

  3. 03

    Registry and tax set-up

    Registration at the Mercantile Registry, digital certificate and tax registration, including the ROI application if you trade with the EU.

  4. 04

    Monthly service

    The company takes out Holded and we start the bookkeeping, the returns and the director's payslip.

After the formation

One monthly fee for the whole back office.

The fee depends on your volume of purchase invoices and bank movements. Holded Standard is paid by the company and is not part of our fee.

Frequently asked questions

What founders ask us first.

Can't find your answer? Message us on WhatsApp and we will reply today.

How much does it cost to set up an SL with you?

We do not charge fees for the formation when you take the monthly accounting and tax plan, with a 6-month minimum term. The notary, the Mercantile Registry and the company-name certificate are third-party costs and are always paid by you. After that, the monthly fee starts from €199 + VAT, plus the company's own Holded Standard plan (€69 per month + VAT).

Can a foreigner or a non-resident set up a company in Spain?

Yes. Foreign shareholders and directors need a Spanish NIE, which you obtain yourself: we do not process NIE applications. Tell us on the call who the shareholders and the director will be and where each of them lives, because it affects the paperwork and the director's Social Security registration.

Do I have to travel to Spain to sign?

The deed is signed before a Spanish notary by you or by a representative you appoint with a power of attorney. We do not act as your representative before the notary, and we do not arrange powers of attorney, apostilles or sworn translations.

How much share capital do I need?

Since the 2022 reform, an SL can be formed with share capital of €1 (article 4 of the Spanish Companies Act). While the capital is below €3,000, specific rules apply, which we explain on the call.

Will the company get an EU VAT number?

We apply for registration in the register of intra-EU operators (ROI) with a well-documented application and deal with any information request. The decision belongs to the Tax Agency, which can refuse it, so we cannot guarantee the outcome or a date.

Do you provide a registered office or a bank account?

No. We do not provide a registered office or virtual office, and we do not open bank accounts. You choose your office address and your bank; we tell you what each will ask for.

What happens once the company exists?

The monthly service starts: the company's digital certificate, the tax registration (form 036), bookkeeping in Holded, all tax returns, the annual accounts and the tax-office notifications. See accounting and tax for companies.
