MAIN OBSTACLES
Common challenges when you set up a company in Spain
Dealing with Bureaucratic Delays
Spain has a complex administrative process that involves various government agencies, including tax and commercial registries. The bureaucracy can be slow, and small mistakes can cause significant delays.
Understanding Local Laws and Taxation
Spain’s legal and tax systems are different from other countries. Without the right knowledge, companies can face costly mistakes in tax compliance, legal structure, and employee regulations.
Navigating Language Barriers
Spain’s official language is Spanish, and while English is widely understood, official paperwork, legal documents, and communications with authorities are all in Spanish. This can create confusion and slow down your business setup.
