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.
