Hmm, this made me read a little bit more, and it isn't as easy or cheap as I had made it to be. However, what I'm talking about is a "real" company, only somebody else took the trouble to do most of the paperwork described in your link (it's the same as is done in my country, you buy a pre-registered company). There are two kinds of Limited Liability companies in Spain: http://www.spanish-living.com/starting-business-spain/faqs http://www.spanish-living.com/starting-business-spain/faqs "Should I form a new company or buy a ready-made company? With a ready-made company ('off the shelf') you save the step of registering a new name (8-14 days). As soon as you come to sign at the notary, your company can begin operations." "What are the differences between Sociedad Limitada (SL) and a Sociedad Anónima (SA)? An SL is similar to the British 'Ltd' or the American 'LLC'. Accounting for an SL is fairly simple and in the first three years, you can apply for 'simplified accounting'. Accounting for an SA is more complicated and yearly auditing is required. An SL requires capital backing of 3006€, while an SA requires 60,000€. "
