Before international businesses dive into the Spanish market, I run them through what I call the 'CFO stress test'. 

5 critical questions that separate companies ready for success from those heading toward a compliance catastrophe. 

  • Can you reconcile your historic books to Spanish standards?

  • Do you have capacity for dual accounting systems?

  • Do you truly understand ongoing Spanish tax obligations? 

  • Is your structural setup crystal clear?

  • Are your timeline expectations for compliance integration realistic?

International businesses entering the Spanish market that can't answer these confidently aren't just unprepared... they're potentially jeopardising their entire European expansion strategy before they've even started. 


Spanish stop sign

These questions cut through the optimism and reveal whether leadership truly understands what they're signing up for in one of Europe's most complex regulatory environments.

What's the biggest regulatory surprise your company faced during international expansion?
