Setting up a company in Mallorca
We handle the name certificate, bank account, notarial deed, tax number and registration, and coordinate the accounts and tax filings with our colleagues at Castell.tax. See how to set up a company in Spain.
Buying or selling a business
Before buying shares or assets we review contracts, licences, staff, tax and debts. When selling, we prepare the data room and negotiate the guarantees. See commercial lawyer and hotel acquisitions.
Tax and employment for your company
Corporate decisions have tax and employment consequences. See tax law and employment law.
Example: company law in Mallorca
Based on situations we commonly see; not a specific client. Two Swedish founders set up a yacht services company in Palma. We incorporated the S.L. with powers of attorney, drafted a shareholder agreement with exit and deadlock clauses, and the company was operating within three weeks.
