How to Create a Company in Spain
1. Signing the Deed of Incorporation at the Notary
The process begins with signing the public deed of incorporation before a Notary. This document
includes the company’s bylaws, information about the shareholders, the capital contribution, and
the appointment of the administrator(s).
2. Obtaining the Provisional Tax Identification Number (NIF)
After signing, the Notary will send the deed electronically to the Spanish Tax Agency (Agencia Tributaria), and the company will receive a provisional NIF so it can start operating.
3. Registration in the Mercantile Registry (Registro Mercantil)
The next step is to register the company in the official Mercantile Registry of the province where it is based. Once registered, the company becomes a legal entity.
4. Obtaining the Definitive NIF
After registration, the company can apply for its definitive tax identification number (NIF) fromthe Tax Agency, replacing the provisional one.
5. Declaration of Activity and AT Registration (Alta Censal)
Finally, the company must file a declaration of the beginning of its activity (Modelo 036 or 037) with the Tax Agency. This includes registering for VAT, selecting the tax regime, and informing the
authorities of the company’s business activity, location, and fiscal representative if applicable.
