Companies
A limited company in Spain is a very flexible business tool.
To create a company (SL) in Spain, you will need to follow these steps:
1
Choose the name of your company
The first step is to choose a unique name for your company that is not already in use. We will check the availability of your chosen name at the Central Mercantile Registry.
2
Obtaining a NIE
You will need to obtain a NIE if you don’t have one (see explanation in website of what a NIE is)
3
Draft the company's bylaws
The company’s bylaws are the legal document that outlines the company’s purpose, structure, and operating procedures. It is advisable to hire a lawyer that is specialised in companies and can explain you with detail the consequences of all the bilaws.

Deposit the capital
To create an SL, you will need to deposit a minimum of €3,000 in a bank account in your company’s name. You will need to provide proof of this deposit to the notary when you sign the company’s bylaws.
There is also the possibility of declaring that the capital money has been paid into the company’s cash fund, without further proof.
The capital can also be brought into the company by partners with movable assets: computer, furniture…
