Self-Employed Set-Up Service in Spain

Being self-employed is the cheapest way to run a business. The setup is simple with little paperwork, and you are paid from your business's profits. You are not an employee, so you get fewer social benefits, and you are personally responsible for any losses of the business.

What the service can include

• Answers in English on how Spanish law affects your business
• Registering with the Spanish tax office and the social security system
• Help choosing a business name and a business address
• Advice on the best tax setup for your case
• Answering tax questions about your work
• Preparing and filing all tax returns
• Keeping the records the law asks for, such as income, costs, invoices and assets
• Updates on new rules that affect your work

Cost

From 60 euros per month.

If you hire staff

If your business grows and you take on employees, a payroll service can be added. It covers setup, payslips, paying social security for you and your staff, and adding or removing staff from the social security system. It costs 25 euros a month for the first employee and 20 euros for each extra one. All prices are before VAT (sales tax) at 21%.
