The company formation process in Spain Forming a company in Spain, just as with all other legally binding transactions here, necessitates the use of a Notary. The Notary's office will ask to see copies of all relevant documents relating to the company formation before granting a signing. Namely: the company name certificate (certificado de denominacion social), bank certificate of deposit (certificado de ingreso), Articles of Association (estatutos sociales), and sometimes personal identification documents of the shareholders and administrators. After the Notary's signing, the formation document (Escritura) must be deposited at the Mercantile Registry in the capital of the province where the company is to have its registered office. Before this is done, the Escritura must be presented at the local government tax collection office to pay the stamp duty (which is 1% of the share capital), and the state Tax Office to obtain a fiscal code (CIF). Once the company has a CIF, it is ready to trade normally and invoice its customers. Requirements for a Spanish company Companies should state their CIF, and registered address on all documentation. In addition a single shareholder company (Sociedad Unipersonal) must state that it is such. Invoices issued by the company should also mention the tax code of the customer. Annual accounts must be filed with the Mercantile Registry and abbreviated accounts can be filed for companies that do not qualify as large. These accounts must be accompanied by a signed statement by the shareholders regarding the passing of the accounts. There are also a number of statutory books to be deposited and the compulsary books for a Sociedad Limitada (S.L) are: shareholders register (libro de socios) and monthly summary of company activities (libro diario).
