The
agriculture field in Spain is an important sector for the local economy. The
agriculture industry accounts for 3% of the country’s gross domestic product (GDP) and it provides the
second largest terrain in Europe for performing
agricultural activities. Investors who want to
open an agriculture company in Spain may need to obtain different types of business permits, depending on the specific activities carried out. One of the main advantages of
opening a company in Spain in this sector refers to the large variety of business activities and
our team of company formation agents can offer tailored assistance on this matter.
Open a Spanish company
The
company registration in Spain for an
agricultural business follows the same
incorporation procedures applicable to other types of businesses. The first aspect that should be handled refers to the verification of the availability of the
company’s trading name, which can be completed at the
Central Commercial Registry, an institution which will provide a certificate in this sense, once the
company’s name meets the required criteria.
Our team of company formation representatives in Spain can offer assistance on the legal requirements established in this sense.
The founders of the
company may receive the title of shareholders or partners, depending on the
legal entity chosen for
incorporation. Regardless of the business form, the investors will need to conclude the
company’s statutory documents, by signing a
deed of incorporation in front of a
public notary in Spain.
Since the
company will perform commercial activities, it will also be compulsory to be registered for
taxation purposes, by submitting specific documents at the
Tax Office. The legal entity will also require a
company tax identification code.

company formation in Spain in the
