Spanish Company Formation for Non-EU Entrepreneurs
A specialist firm dedicated to helping non-EU entrepreneurs, investors, and international founders open and operate businesses in Spain through a Sociedad Limitada (SL) — Spain’s most flexible and powerful company structure.
Whether you are based in the United Kingdom, United States, Middle East, Asia, or Latin America, we provide a complete, legally compliant solution for forming, running, and growing a Spanish company — without requiring residency or relocation.
Spain is one of Europe’s strongest business jurisdictions, offering access to the EU market of 450 million consumers, modern banking, world-class infrastructure, and a stable legal framework. With a Spanish SL, you can trade across Europe, own property, hire staff, invoice clients worldwide, and later qualify for Spanish residency if desired.
Why Choose a Spanish SL Company?
A Sociedad Limitada (SL) is the most popular company type in Spain and is used by both local and international businesses. It is equivalent to a UK Ltd or US LLC and provides:
• Limited liability protection
• 100% foreign ownership
• Low minimum capital (€3,000)
• Full EU trading rights
• Modern online banking and payment gateways
• Ability to hire staff and own property
• Clear path to Spanish residency in the future
Unlike many European countries, Spain allows non-EU citizens to own and control companies without living in the country. You do not need a visa or residency permit to be a shareholder or director.

You Do Not Need Spanish Residency
One of the biggest misconceptions about Spain is that you must live there to open a company. This is not true.
Non-EU citizens can:
• Own 100% of a Spanish company
• Be the director
• Open a Spanish business bank account
• Hire Spanish staff
• Invoice EU and international clients
• Receive profits
All without having a visa or residency.
You only need residency if you want to live and work in Spain personally. Many of our clients operate their Spanish SL from the UK, UAE, US, or Asia.

Your Spanish SL can operate in Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Malaga, Galicia, the Canary Islands, or anywhere in Spain — regardless of where the company is registered.

Business Activities Allowed
A Spanish SL can legally operate in almost any sector, including:
• Real estate brokerage
• Property development
• E-commerce

• Consulting
• Import / export
• Tourism
• Software & SaaS

Path to Spanish Residency (Optional)
Many of our clients use their Spanish SL as a future residency and EU base.
Once your company is active and generating income, you may qualify for:
• Entrepreneur Visa
• Self-employed residence permit
This allows you to move to Spain, obtain a TIE residency card, and eventually qualify for permanent residence and Spanish citizenship.
Your business becomes your immigration solution.
