    Common Questions

    Spain Incorporation FAQs

    Can a US company own 100% of a Spain S.L. (Sociedad Limitada)?

    Yes. The EU permits 100% foreign ownership of a Spain S.L. (Sociedad Limitada) by a US individual or US corporate parent, with no local shareholder requirement.

    Do I need to be a Spain resident to be a director?

    No, Spain does not require directors of a S.L. (Sociedad Limitada) to be locally resident, though a registered local office address is mandatory and we provide this as part of formation.

    How long does Spain company registration take?

    Typical registration timelines run 3–4 weeks, depending on document notarisation, apostille processing, and capital deposit requirements.

    What is the corporate tax rate in Spain?

    Spain applies 25% standard corporate tax rate (15% reduced rate for new companies, first 2 years). The US-Spain tax treaty framework and EU parent-subsidiary directive help prevent double taxation on profits repatriated to a US parent.

    Can I use one Spain entity to trade across the whole EU?

    Yes, once registered in Spain, the entity can trade, invoice, and register for VAT OSS to sell across all 27 EU member states under the EU single market framework.
