More than a formality
Incorporation
as the starting point
of a relationship
Many firms see company incorporation as a one-off service. For Jurisserv it is the first opportunity to become part of a new client’s team: to understand their project, their structure and their objectives from the very first day.
That is why our incorporation process always includes a prior analysis of the most appropriate legal form, upfront tax planning and automatic integration into the firm’s ongoing services the client may require.
Start now“When someone incorporates a company with us, we are not doing a formality. We are starting to understand their business, their objectives and the way they work. That is the real value of doing it properly from the outset.”

How long does it take to incorporate a company in Spain?
+
Through the CIRCE system, electronic incorporation can be completed in 48 hours. By the traditional route (with bespoke articles), the process usually takes between 1 and 3 weeks, including notarisation, registration with the Commercial Registry and obtaining of the definitive tax ID.
Is an SL or an SA better for a startup?
+
In most cases, the SL is the most suitable form for an early-stage startup: lower minimum capital, simpler management and fast-track incorporation. The SA may be more suitable at advanced stages when a large investment round, a listing or a highly diversified shareholding structure is anticipated.
Is there an advantage to incorporating in Andorra rather than Spain?
+
Yes, in certain situations. Andorra offers a maximum rate of 10% on corporate and personal income tax, no tax on dividends for Andorran tax residents and no wealth tax. For these advantages to apply, the shareholder must be tax resident in Andorra and the company must have real economic substance in the Principality.
What is a holding and when does it make sense to set one up?
+
A holding is a company whose purpose is to hold shares in other companies. It makes sense when there are several operating companies, real estate assets to separate from the operating activity, or when the aim is to optimise the dividend flow and succession planning. In many cases, an Andorran holding structure with operating subsidiaries in Spain or France can be highly tax efficient.
What ongoing services will I need after incorporation?
+
At a minimum, recurring accounting, management of periodic taxes and, if there are employees, payroll and Social Security. If there are multiple shareholders, a shareholders’ agreement. If there is international activity, compliance with reporting obligations (CRS, DAC6). At Jurisserv, we integrate all these services from the first month so the client does not have to engage several different providers.
