Spain Company Formation: SL & Autónomo
Start your business in Spain with practical support from Roch Agency. We help international entrepreneurs set up a Spanish limited company (SL), register as autónomo and coordinate the administration needed to operate. Our local partners help turn your plans into a clear checklist and an agreed service scope.
Spanish SL company formation: €1,899 + VAT
A Sociedad Limitada is a separate company structure. We help coordinate the formation process with the relevant professionals, including company-name reservation, shareholder and director documentation, notarial arrangements, company tax identification (NIF) and Commercial Registry registration.
We also help you plan the registered address, banking documentation, business activity and accounting arrangements. The appropriate structure depends on your partners, activity, responsibilities and where the business will be managed.
Autónomo setup in Spain: €499 + VAT
Autónomo is the self-employed route for an individual operating a business or professional activity. We help review the activity, prepare the required information and coordinate registration with the Spanish tax authority and Social Security.
Tax registration generally uses Modelo 036. Social Security registration must be arranged before starting the activity. Contributions, possible reductions and filing obligations depend on your circumstances and are checked with the relevant specialist.
Administration beyond registration
Our support can include NIE and identification requirements, Spanish digital certificates, tax and VAT registration coordination, bookkeeping and tax-filing support through local accountants, and preparation for business banking checks. We can also help coordinate suitable business insurance through our insurance partners.
NIE assistance is €149 + VAT and a standalone Spanish digital certificate is €80 + VAT. All prices exclude VAT. Notary, registry, official fees, translations and other third-party costs are itemised separately where required. Share capital, ongoing accounting, activity licences, premises permissions and payroll are outside the setup fee. We confirm inclusions and additional costs before you proceed.

Frequently asked questions
Can I do everything remotely?
Some preparation can be handled remotely. Identity checks, notarial steps or other appointments may require attendance or a suitable power of attorney.
Does opening a company give me residency?
No. Company formation and permission to live or work in Spain are separate matters. We also help assess the appropriate residency procedure.
Is SL always better than autónomo?
No. The choice depends on your activity, liability, expected income, partners and administration. We help coordinate an individual assessment.
