How are freight transportation companies incorporated in Spain?
Here we bring you the step-by-step process of everything to do for the incorporation of Spanish freight transportation companies.
Obtaining Legal Documents and Certifications:
To incorporate a Limited Company (SL), you must first obtain the Certificate of Company Name from the Central Mercantile Registry. Then, the Bylaws are drafted, detailing key aspects such as the share capital. You must open a bank account for the deposit of the share capital and to obtain the Bank Certificate.
Financial Aspects and Limited Liability:
The Share Capital is defined, not only to support the limited liability of the company, but also to guarantee financial sufficiency to cover the initial operations, including the Licenses of Public Transport of Goods. This ensures an efficient and legal incorporation of a Limited Company in Spain, backed by full legal documentation and the necessary licenses to operate.
Coordination with the notary's office:
To incorporate a freight transportation company in Spain with several partners, coordination with the Notary Office is required to sign the articles of incorporation, including documents such as bylaws, negative certification of the name, bank certification of the deposit of the share capital, and identification documents. The deed of incorporation must also be filed with the Mercantile Registry, with a cost of €100.
Tax, Digital and Licensing procedures:
You must register in the Tax on Economic Activities (IAE) with the Tax Agency, detailing the business activity. Digital Certificates are obtained for legal entities and individuals. You must obtain the Necessary Licenses and Authorizations, to obtain the Public Freight Transportation License, evaluated according to financial capacity and minimum fleet requirements.
Additional information to take into account:
- Obtain the Public Freight Transportation License known in spanish as "Licencia de Transporte Público de Mercancías", according to financial capacity and minimum fleet requirements. Also comply with minimum fleet requirements and mandatory documentation such as insurance.
- Appropriate management of social contributions for employees in the transportation sector. Consider wages, bonuses, and benefits. Contributions finance Social Security and other employee benefits.

This is crucial for applying deductions and exemptions for investments in efficient vehicles. It is used Form 200, and the deadline is July 25 of the year following the fiscal year.
