Representative Office for your Business in Spain
The simplest route for established companies to create a presence in Spain and Europe, without fiscal implications. Read on to find out how this registration option works, and how it can benefit your business.
The liaison office in Spain also known as the representative office, can help you tap into the Spanish market.
Some of the benefits include:
- Fast resolution. Once the viability is established and documentation prepared, the registration of your business in Spain can usually be resolved within 5 working days.
- No need to establish a brand new company – the representative office is a presence of your existing business in Spain.
- No taxation or fiscal red tape – since the representative office is not a legal entity, all taxation goes through the country where the parent company is based.
What functions are carried out by a representative office?
- If you’re interested in expanding your business to the Spanish market, but you want to tap the waters first without going full in, the Representative Office is the best option for you.
- The mere purpose of this legal structure is to build a presence of your company in Spain. If the functions of the Representative Office start to resemble those of the main activity, you will be subject to paying tax in Spain.
- Some of the functions that you will be allowed to fulfil include:
- Executing studies of market conditions for the development of the business.
- Advertising, promotion, or information supply activities.
- Carrying out scientific or similar activities.
