Yes, absolutely! Thanks to Spain's digital signature laws (eIDAS regulation) and remote notary services, the entire process can be completed online. You'll sign all documents electronically via video call with the notary. We handle all in-person requirements (registry filings, tax office visits, etc.) on your behalf. The only time you might need to visit Spain is if you want to open a bank account in person (though many banks now offer remote opening for businesses).

An apostille is an international certification that authenticates the origin of a public document. It's required under the Hague Convention for documents issued in one country to be legally recognized in another.

You need apostilles on documents from your home country (like your company's Certificate of Incorporation, Articles of Association) so Spanish authorities will accept them as valid. Without apostilles, Spain won't recognize your foreign company documents.

We can help: We have partners in 40+ countries who can obtain apostilles for you quickly, or we can guide you through the process in your country.

Spain has double taxation treaties with over 90 countries, including:

• All EU countries
• United States, Canada, Mexico
• UK, Switzerland, Norway
• China, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, India
• All major Latin American countries
• UAE, Saudi Arabia, Israel
• Australia, New Zealand, South Africa

These treaties prevent you from being taxed twice on the same income. During our consultation, we'll explain how the specific treaty between Spain and your country affects your business structure and tax obligations.

Yes, you must have a registered address in Spain for your branch or subsidiary. However, it doesn't need to be a physical office you rent - it can be:

• Virtual office: A professional business address with mail handling (from €99/month)
• Coworking space: Flexible workspace with registered address
• Home address: If your legal representative lives in Spain
• Physical office: If you plan to have employees or clients visiting

We can help you set up a virtual office if needed. The address must be in Spain and will be publicly registered.

For Branches:

• Annual accounts filing in Spain (simplified)
• Quarterly/monthly VAT returns (if applicable)
• Annual corporate tax return (attributed to parent)
• Annual registry updates (if changes occur)

For Subsidiaries:

• Full Spanish accounting (quarterly, annual)
• Annual accounts filed with Commercial Registry
• Corporate tax return (independent from parent)
• Annual general meeting of shareholders
• VAT, payroll, social security (if employees)

We offer: Ongoing accounting and compliance services starting at €1,200/year, or we can introduce you to trusted local accountants.

Yes, you can convert a branch into a subsidiary (or vice versa) later, but it's not a simple "conversion" - it requires:

• Closing the branch (liquidation process)
• Creating a new subsidiary from scratch
• Transferring assets, contracts, employees
• Potential tax implications

Cost: €2,000-€4,000 + 3-4 months. That's why we recommend carefully choosing the right structure from the beginning. During consultation, we'll analyze your business model and growth plans to recommend the best option for your long-term strategy.

If your country is not part of the Hague Apostille Convention (e.g., some Arab countries, parts of Africa), your documents will need legalization through diplomatic channels instead:

1. Notarize documents in your country
2. Certify with your country's Ministry of Foreign Affairs
3. Legalize at the Spanish Embassy/Consulate in your country

This process takes longer (4-8 weeks) and costs more, but we have experience with non-Hague countries and can guide you through the entire process. We'll provide a detailed checklist specific to your country.

Absolutely! We don't just set up your company and disappear. Our packages include:
