Registering a company in Spain as an SL for trade and export is the best solution in 2026. Spain offers several corporate solutions with varying budgets, from a standard SL to an SA. The final cost of a company is calculated individually based on the chosen type of company, government fees, licensing requirements, and bank account requirements.
Information for decision-making
For a practical decision on Spain, we compare the company form, capital, owners and management, tax and reporting requirements, annual cost and account options. Before registration, we confirm which of these points apply to your business and document them in one consistent structure.
Annual support: calculated based on the address, accounting, reporting and required corporate actions.
Corporate account: document preparation and support for opening an account with a bank or European payment system / EMI are quoted separately, taking the client’s business profile into account.

You receive the agreed company-registration package with the corporate documents and practical instructions required for the next steps. Additional items such as tax registration, accounting, licences, account opening, certified copies or local presence are included where agreed in the quotation.
Items charged separately
Only items outside the stated basic price are charged separately: additional government or notarial costs, translation and apostille, customised corporate documents, licences, accounting, preparation of the bank application and other services required for your company. We show these costs as separate items before payment.
What determines the final cost
The final cost depends on the company form, number of owners and directors, document signing method, translation or legalisation, registered office, accounting, licences and whether a corporate account is required. Before registration starts, we confirm both the filing cost and the company’s first-year operating costs.

How the process works
- You describe the planned business. You provide the activity, owners, countries of counterparties, expected turnover and required currencies.
- We define the scope of services. We review the company form, documents, local registrations, accounting and the need for a corporate account.
- You receive a quotation. We show our fees, government and third-party costs, and annual support separately.
- We start the registration. Once the cost is agreed, we prepare the documents and organise the filing.
- We add the required services. If needed, we organise accounting, preparation of account-opening documents and other agreed actions.
Documents required from individuals (company director and shareholder)

Company capital
We confirm the minimum or agreed capital, contribution method and evidence required for the selected company form in Spain. The capital structure is reflected consistently in the incorporation documents, ownership records and bank file.
New or ready-made company
A ready-made company can be useful when an existing incorporation date and a faster start are important. Before transfer, we check its register status, corporate history, filings and available documents. A new company is registered with your chosen name, owners and business purpose.

Opening a corporate account
For the corporate account, we review the activity, currencies, countries of counterparties, expected turnover and payment purpose. We compare a bank, European payment system / EMI or neobank and, where useful, a backup account. The application explains the client business profile and source of funds.

Address, telephone and office services
The company requires a registered office in Spain for official correspondence and registry or tax notices. Where the business or bank requires more practical local presence, we can also arrange mail handling, telephone, administration and quote a physical office separately.
