OUGD502 PPP2: Life's a pitch Finance and costing

OUGD502
PPP2
LIFES A PITCH
FINANCE AND COSTING

We decided that we would operate as a private limited company (limited by shares) but then realised that operating in spain may mean different business models, through research we found that it didn't make a difference.
  • Sole Trader/Sole Proprietor (Empresario Individual or Autónomo)
  • Partnership (Sociedad Civil)
  • Limited Liability Company (Sociedad Limitada/SL or Sociedad de Responsabilidad Limitada/SRL)
  • Public Limited Company (Sociedad Anonima /SA)
  • New Enterprise Limited Company (Sociedad Limitada Nueva Empresa/SLNE)
  • Co-ownership (Comunidad de Bienes/CB)

The standard Spanish Private Limited Company is the SL, the Sociedad Limitada and is very similar to the private limited company in other EU countries. The formation procedure normally takes two weeks and as an alternative; we can supply you with a ready made company. An SL company requires a registered office, this will initially be in Madrid, but is easily changed if required.

Incorporating a Sociedad Limitada (SL)

The formation procedures of a company is as follow:

Company Name

We apply for a company name certificate from the Mercantile Register, confirming that your company name is acceptable and not already registered. This certificate for company name clearance is important as it is given to the notary, and a copy is also given to your bankers and the tax authorities.

Share Capital

The share capital is €3000 and the shares can be issued for cash or through a donation of assets.
There is no public register of shareholders of a Spanish company, whilst the initial shareholders are stated in the deed of incorporation, any subsequent changes of shareholders are by a notarial deed, which is not filed at the Mercantile Register.
The shares of a Spanish limited company can be transferred at any time and are sold through signing an agreement in front of a Notary.

Registered Office

All Spanish SL's must have a registered office. You must select a Spanish registered office for your corporation.

VAT Number 

All Spanish companies have a VAT number when they are incorporated, so your company can trade immediately.
This VAT number is not on the VIES register, we can apply for registration on the VIES register, this normally takes up to 2 months.
