The decision of buying a company instead of setting it up is generally motivated by one of the following reasons:

• Urgency: Need to start activities or carry out a transaction immediately, not being able to wait for all the formalities needed to set up a company
• Being anonymous: The founding partners or shareholders that constitute a company are publicly registered, as well as those who acquire new shares or social participations through a capital increase. However, the deed of purchase-sale of shares or social participations is non-registrable in the Mercantile Registry, and the identity of the new partners or shareholders will not be shown in the company’s registration form. The sole proprietorships are an exception, since the identity of the sole partner or shareholder must be informed.
• Comfort: Buying a company only requires the granting of a public deed of sale. We could even organize it in such a way that you do not have to appear at the notary. However, forming a company is a long process that lasts between four and six weeks. It entails carrying out banking procedures for the disbursement of the social capital, obtaining a Tax Identification Number, granting the deed of incorporation and registering it in the Mercantile Registry.

Any person of legal age, national or foreign, natural or legal person, who is not legally incapacitated to do so. The non-resident individuals and legal entities in Spain must provide the NIE.

Immediately. If you have all the required documentation, you can have one of our companies within hours. You will be able to start your activity immediately after the company is acquired, since all our companies comply with the requirements needed to operate. The only document to be signed and presented before the corresponding authorities is Form 036. This procedure can be done from the moment the sale is formalized, or even before if you provide us with the required information. Once the Form 036 is presented, your company will be able to issue invoices.
