At Moving Spain, we provide legal, corporate and tax support for entrepreneurs, investors, professionals and companies that want to start, develop or relocate a business activity to Spain.
We assist clients from the first strategic decisions through to the launch of their business, coordinating the legal, corporate, tax and administrative steps required to start operating in Spain with a clear and appropriate structure.
Our service is particularly suitable for foreign entrepreneurs, international investors, new residents and professionals who need support to set up a company in Spain, incorporate a business, start a commercial activity or establish a business structure in the country.
Legal support to set up a company in Spain
Setting up a company in Spain involves several decisions that can affect how the business operates from the very beginning.
The legal structure, relationship between shareholders, responsibilities of each party, tax implications, business activity and administrative requirements should be reviewed before the company is incorporated.
At Moving Spain, we analyse the business project and help clients define a structure that is consistent with their objectives.
Our role is not limited to company incorporation. The aim is to help the business start operating with a solid legal and corporate foundation.
Company formation in Spain
We assist entrepreneurs and investors who want to incorporate a company in Spain.
The service may include an initial review of the business structure, preparation and coordination of documentation, organisation of the incorporation process and support with the formal steps required to establish the company.
We also coordinate with the professionals and institutions that may need to be involved, including notaries, the Commercial Registry, tax advisers and other relevant bodies.
Each project is reviewed individually in order to determine which structure may be appropriate according to the business activity, number of shareholders, expected investment and long-term objectives.
Setting up a company in Spain as a foreigner
Foreign entrepreneurs and investors may need to coordinate the creation of their business with other aspects of their move to Spain.
Their immigration status, right to work, personal tax position, investment structure or the presence of shareholders in different countries may all affect how the project should be planned.
At Moving Spain, we take these factors into account so that company formation is not treated as an isolated administrative procedure.
This approach is particularly useful for clients who are moving to Spain to start a business, invest or manage a company.
Choosing the right legal structure
Before starting a business activity in Spain, it is important to determine how the business should be legally structured.
Different projects may require different solutions. The nature of the activity, expected turnover, number of shareholders, level of responsibility and tax planning may all influence the decision.
At Moving Spain, we review these factors before the business is launched so that the client can make a more informed decision.
The aim is to avoid choosing a structure purely for speed or convenience if it may not suit the future development of the business.
Business registration and launch
Once the business structure has been defined, the next step is to coordinate the procedures required to start operating.
Depending on the project, this may involve tax registrations, Social Security procedures, administrative formalities, local licences or other requirements.
At Moving Spain, we help organise and coordinate these steps so that the business launch is more structured and efficient.
This allows entrepreneurs to focus on developing the business while receiving professional support for the legal and administrative aspects of starting activity in Spain.
Corporate legal advice for businesses and entrepreneurs
A business may require legal support long after it has been incorporated.
As the company grows, issues may arise relating to contracts, shareholders, suppliers, clients, corporate changes, new investments or changes in the business structure.
Moving Spain provides corporate legal support to help business owners make these decisions with a clearer legal framework.
This service can be useful both for new companies and for businesses that are already operating in Spain.
Business contracts and corporate documentation
Contracts are an essential part of day-to-day business activity.
Agreements with suppliers, clients, partners, shareholders or third parties can create important legal obligations.
At Moving Spain, we can assist with the review and preparation of contractual documentation related to the business activity, adapting it to the specific needs of the project.
The objective is to reduce uncertainty and ensure that the key conditions of commercial relationships are clearly defined.

Legal support for shareholders and investors
When several shareholders or investors participate in a business project, it is important to establish a clear structure from the beginning.
The responsibilities of each shareholder, decision-making procedures, ownership interests and conditions for entering or leaving the company may become increasingly important as the business grows.
We also support projects involving multiple shareholders, domestic or international investors and business structures that require careful planning before operations begin.
Tax coordination for businesses and entrepreneurs
Taxation is an important part of every business decision.
Before incorporating a company or starting an activity in Spain, it is advisable to review the potential tax obligations, income structure, relationship between shareholders, planned investments and other factors that may affect the business.
At Moving Spain, corporate legal advice can be coordinated with tax support so that the business is planned from a broader perspective.
This can be especially important when the entrepreneur is a new resident in Spain or continues to hold business interests, assets or income in other countries.
Starting a business in Spain as part of a relocation process
For many clients, setting up a business is part of a wider move to Spain.
In these situations, additional needs may arise at the same time, including immigration, residence, personal taxation, housing, schooling or family relocation.
Moving Spain can coordinate these areas within a broader relocation process, reducing the need for the client to manage each service separately.
This approach is particularly useful for international entrepreneurs, investors and professionals who want to establish both their residence and their business activity in Spain.
Foreign companies establishing a presence in Spain
Our service is also suitable for foreign companies that want to analyse how to start operating or establish a presence in Spain.
Each project may require a different structure depending on the type of activity, commercial objectives, recruitment needs, level of investment and relationship with the parent company.
At Moving Spain, we review the project and coordinate the legal, tax and employment areas that may be necessary to support the company’s establishment in Spain.
Ongoing legal support as your business grows
The legal needs of a company often evolve as the business develops.
A company may initially need support with incorporation and launch, but later require assistance with contracts, new shareholders, employees, corporate changes or additional investment.
Our service can continue beyond the initial setup, providing ongoing legal and corporate support as the business grows in Spain.

Why use professional support when setting up a company in Spain?
Company formation should not be viewed simply as a set of administrative procedures.
The decisions made at the beginning may later affect taxation, shareholder liability, business operations and future growth.
At Moving Spain, we first analyse the project and then coordinate the steps required to implement it.
This helps clients start their activity with a more structured approach and professional support throughout the different stages of the process.
One point of coordination for your business project in Spain
One of the main advantages of Moving Spain is the ability to integrate different services within the same plan.
A foreign entrepreneur may simultaneously require business advice, immigration support, tax planning, housing assistance or relocation services.
Rather than handling each issue separately, we can coordinate the different areas so that all decisions form part of the same project for establishing yourself and your business in Spain.
