What does amending bylaws involve?−
It is the legal procedure to change or update the clauses of the articles of association that regulate the company's operation. It requires a general meeting resolution with the legal majorities, public deed before notary, and Commercial Registry registration.
What amendments require reinforced majority?+
According to the Companies Act, reinforced majorities (2/3 of capital) are required for: change of corporate purpose, transfer of registered office abroad, company transformation, merger or spin-off, partner exclusion, and other amendments that suppress or restrict partners' rights.
How long does the complete process take?+
The complete process usually takes between 3 and 4 weeks from initial consultation to registry registration. The timeframe depends on the complexity of the amendment and Commercial Registry processing times.
Can the procedure be done online?+
Yes, a large part of the process can be managed online: consultation, bylaws drafting, document preparation, and coordination with the notary. Physical presence is only required for signing the public deed, although digital signature can be used if available.
How much does it cost to amend the bylaws?+
The cost includes notary fees according to schedule (€50-200 depending on complexity), Commercial Registry fees (€40-100), certificates if necessary (€15-40), and our management fees. Request a quote without obligation.
Can I amend several clauses at once?+
Yes, multiple bylaws amendments can be approved in a single general meeting. All are elevated to public deed together and registered in a single registry entry, optimizing costs and time.
Is withdrawal right necessary in some amendments?+
Yes, the Companies Act recognizes partners' withdrawal right (share reimbursement) in important amendments: change of corporate purpose, transfer of registered office abroad, change of company type, or creation/modification of ancillary services.
Do minority partners need to be informed of amendments?+
Yes, the meeting notice must include the agenda specifying the proposed amendments. Partners have the right to examine the full texts before the meeting and ask questions. The Companies Act protects partners' information rights.
What majority do I need?+
At least the majority set out in art. 199 LSC (more than half the votes in an S.L. for most amendments, and two-thirds for qualified transactions), unless your bylaws require more. The first thing we check is precisely your current text.
Do I need a digital certificate?+

Can I do it from abroad?+
Yes, the notarial video call works from any country. You only need a stable connection, your valid identity document and a digital certificate.
