Are you expanding your business into Spain? Some advice so you avoid potentially costly mistakes:
1. Business Structure Decisions
How do you approach choosing between being an autónomo (self-employed) vs. setting up a company? The implications for liability and taxation are significant, yet I see many businesses defaulting to what worked in their home country.
2. Regional Tax Complexity
Barcelona ≠ Valencia ≠ Madrid when it comes to tax regulations. How are you handling these regional variations in your expansion strategy? What challenges have you encountered?
3. Director Responsibilities
The role of a company director carries far more legal weight in Spain than in many other countries. Have you considered the personal liability implications?
What's your biggest concern about expanding into the Spanish market? Tax compliance? Business structure? Regional variations?
