CORPORATE MANAGEMENT/COMPANIES - Spanish and Foreign Companies

With modern communications technology consistently making global communications easier, quicker and cheaper, more and more of us are choosing to buy properties abroad and work in ‘remote’ offices. Similarly more and more companies are establishing second offices abroad and Spain, in particular, Marbella on the Costa del Sol is a favourite location for foreign companies not least because of its extremely appealing climate.

As in any other Country, operating a business enterprise is most commonly structured through the establishment of company. In Spain, foreign investors may create their own new companies, set up branches of their own companies or invest in existing companies in which they intervene directly or through other, foreign companies.

Depending upon your specific objectives other forms of legal ‘entity’ such as Trusts can be utilised, provided that they have been created and are legally registered in their original country. It is quite common for DVA Lawyers to receive enquiries from people that, for one business or family reasons or another, wish to keep their investment separate from their personal estate This scenario calls for us to utilise the power of a "corporate structure".
