Frequently asked questions
What is an NIE?
A foreigner's tax identification number, required to do business and hold assets in Spain — we obtain it for you.
Can the company support residency?
Yes — we advise on routes that combine a Spanish business with residency.
How long does formation take?
Timelines depend on the jurisdiction and on the completeness of your documents. We confirm a realistic timeline in your written quote and keep you informed at each step.
What does it cost?
We quote a fixed legal fee in writing before work begins. Government, registry and registered-agent charges are set by third parties and listed separately and clearly.
Who looks after the company after formation?
We can. Renewals, registered-agent services and annual filings can be added as a fixed annual engagement, so one team stays responsible for your structure.
