Register A Britain Company In Spain
More and more British companies want to operate in Spain. If this is your case, we tell you all the procedures that you must overcome (such as obtaining the CIF number in Spain) to achieve it, as well as the importance of having a company attorney to carry it out successfully.
Why do you need a corporate solicitor to register your company in Spain?
Any activity that a British company intends to do in Spanish territory (or with Spanish companies or citizens) will need to have an adequate registry according to the law of our country.
Just as an example here are some activities that your company could not do without being properly registered in Spain:
- Obtain the CIF number in Spain, VAT, and European EORI number
- Employ Spanish workers.
- Invest in real estate located in Spain.
- Operate easily with Spanish banks.
- Import goods to Spain.
- Buy shares of Spanish companies.
This is all that a corporate solicitor can do for your company
How to register in Spain?
The process is complicated since the requirements vary according to the corporate form that is intended to be adopted.
These are the generic requirements:
- Obtain the NIE (tax identification number for foreigners).
- Register the name of the company in the Commercial Registry.
- Obtain the tax identification number of companies (former CIF, today called NIF).
