FAQs about corporate lawyers in Spain
How long does it take to set up a company in Spain?
The timing depends on the company structure, the availability of documents, the shareholders involved and the registration process. For UK and international clients, we usually recommend preparing identification, corporate documents and translations in advance to avoid delays.
Do foreign shareholders need a Spanish tax ID?
Foreign shareholders and directors usually need a Spanish tax identification number before the company can be incorporated or registered. For individuals, this is commonly linked to the NIE, while foreign companies may need a NIF for corporate participation in Spain
Can I sign company documents from the UK?
Many Spanish corporate matters can be handled with a power of attorney, which allows a representative in Spain to sign certain documents on your behalf. We can review the wording before signature so the powers are suitable for the company setup, purchase or investment.
What should I prepare before buying a company in Spain?
Before buying a Spanish company, it is useful to gather corporate records, contracts, accounts, tax information, employment details, shareholder documents and any ongoing disputes. This allows the legal and financial due diligence to focus on the main risks before you commit to the transaction.
Can you help after the company is incorporated?
Yes, we can continue assisting with shareholders agreements, board decisions, commercial contracts, corporate changes, group restructuring and investment documents after the company has been incorporated. This ongoing support is useful when the Spanish company starts trading, brings in new partners or expands its activity.
