Constitución de una empresa en España

DESPLACE LA TABLA HORIZONTALMENTE

Importante: el derecho de un no residente a ser titular de la empresa no concede automáticamente el derecho a vivir, trabajar o dirigirla desde ese país. La inmigración, el permiso de trabajo, la sustancia, la dirección efectiva y la residencia fiscal se evalúan por separado.

• —Technology, SaaS, agencies and consulting with Spanish/EU customers or operations.
• —Trade, tourism, property support and local business following licence/activity analysis.
• —Subsidiaries and joint ventures using SL or SA governance.

• —Sociedad de responsabilidad limitada / sociedad limitada (SRL/SL), the standard private limited company with €1 minimum capital and special reserve/liability rules until €3,000.
• —Sociedad anónima (SA), a joint-stock company with €60,000 capital, generally at least 25% paid at formation.

• —Foreign natural persons obtain NIE/NIF; foreign corporate founders obtain a Spanish NIF and appoint a representative for the tax/registry process.
• —An SL/SA requires a public deed before a Spanish notary and registration in the Mercantile Registry; CIRCE coordinates but does not remove the notarial step.
• —There is no general resident-administrator condition; non-EU personal work/residence and regulated activities are reviewed separately.
• —Foreign-investment reporting/screening applies according to investor, sector and transaction facts.

• —A passport or other acceptable ID for every founder, director, signatory and ultimate beneficial owner (UBO).
• —Current proof of residential address and tax residence for every person subject to verification.

• —Administrator residence, foreign management, distributions and related parties require treaty/PE/transfer-pricing analysis.

Resumen general, no asesoramiento fiscal o jurídico personalizado. Las normas se vuelven a comprobar antes de la presentación.

• —Incorporation does not disapply UBO disclosure, AML/KYC or sanctions screening by the registrar, notary, provider, tax authority or financial institution.
