Tax registration, accounting and administrative organisation—everything in order from day one in Spain.
Setting up operations in Barcelona involves decisions that go beyond simply finding an office and recruiting staff. The legal structure, tax registration, business registration, social security for seconded employees, and the correct handling of payments from the parent company – each of these aspects has its own relevant authority, its own deadlines and its own tax implications.
Getting things right from the start saves time, money and avoids problems with the AEAT that are difficult to rectify later on. At GR International Advisors, we coordinate the entire process of setting up your business in Spain so that your company can become operational without any administrative hitches.
International companies setting up in Spain without specialist support often encounter the same difficulties:
This usually results in:
A well-executed soft landing process gets your business up and running in weeks, not months.
Setting up a business in Spain without knowing the local authorities is a slow process. With the right support, it is a well-organised process with a clear timetable from day one.
We analyse your organisational structure, identify the most efficient way to bring staff on board and coordinate all the necessary procedures – including the Beckham Act for relocating employees – so that your team can focus on the business from the moment they arrive.
Your company is setting up in Barcelona. We’ll make sure everything is in order before you start trading.
Subsidiary or branch? Which structure is best?
It depends on the volume of business, the risk profile and the group’s tax strategy. We analyse this during the initial consultation and provide you with a specific recommendation, setting out the implications of each option.
Can we process the Beckham Act for our posted workers as part of the same procedure?
Yes, and now is the ideal time to do so. The application must be submitted within six months of the start of the activity. We’ve included this in the soft landing process to ensure that the deadline isn’t missed.
Do you also handle the employment and legal aspects, or just the tax side?
We coordinate everything. We have our own team of employment and legal advisers, or we can work with your trusted external specialists if you already have them. In either case, there is a single point of contact who keeps everything on track.
Do you speak English?
Yes. We provide our services in Spanish, English and Catalan. Most of our clients are international, and we’ll work in whichever language you’re most comfortable with.
Do you only work in Barcelona?
We’re based in Barcelona, but we operate throughout Spain and work 100 per cent online.
