Company Formation in Spain Made Simple
Lawyers and Accountants Helping You Start Your Business in Spain
Welcome to Strong Law and Compliance Punto PAE, your professional partner for company formation, tax and accounting services in Spain.
We are an official Punto PAE (Entrepreneur Support Point) accredited by the Spanish Ministry of Industry, managed entirely by lawyers from the Madrid and Barcelona Bar Associations and accountants who are members of AECE.
Our team provides end-to-end business formation support, ensuring every legal, tax and accounting step is handled correctly — always by our local professionals, never by subcontractors or agencies.
What Is Punto PAE?
Punto PAE stands for Punto de Atención al Emprendedor — an official program of the Spanish Government to simplify business creation.
It connects entrepreneurs with approved professionals who can start the incorporation process digitally.
Through a Punto PAE, you can:
- Incorporate a Limited Company (SL/SLU) or register as an Autónomo (self-employed).
- Obtain your company's Tax ID (CIF/NIF).
- Register with Social Security and Tax Authorities (AEAT).
- Receive legal, tax and accounting guidance during setup.
At Strong Law and Compliance, we act as your private advisers, not as government officers. We guide you through the process, prepare your documents and coordinate each step — while the official government platforms and officers perform the actual registration.
Processing times depend on government offices, not on us — but our job is to make sure everything is correct and ready for fast approval.
Why Choose a Punto PAE Managed by Lawyers and Accountants
Most agencies outsource your case abroad or rely on clerical staff. At Strong Law and Compliance, your incorporation is managed in-house by qualified lawyers and accountants who ensure compliance at every level.
Legal Expertise
Our lawyers, registered with the Madrid and Barcelona Bar Associations, draft and review all documents, ensuring your company complies fully with Spanish corporate law.
Certified Accountants
Our accounting professionals include AECE members, part of one of Spain's leading associations for tax and accounting professionals. We structure your company to support fiscal efficiency and compliance.
Transparent, All-Inclusive Offer
When you hire our Bookkeeping & Tax Filing Plan six months upfront, we cover the cost of your notary, taxes and Mercantile Registry fees — saving you those startup expenses.
Free VeriFactu Software
We include VeriFactu accounting software, developed in-house and provided free of charge — a government-compliant digital invoicing and bookkeeping tool that keeps your business up to date with Spain's latest tax rules.

Important Legal Clarifications
At Strong Law and Compliance, transparency comes first.
It is important to understand that:
- We act as advisers, not government officers.
- Registration timelines depend on the Spanish public offices processing your file.
- You must have a valid NIE to form a company in Spain.
- Creating a company (SL or SLU) does not grant a work permit, visa or residency to non-EU citizens.
Visa or residency procedures are separate legal processes and are not part of company formation. - We are not an agency subcontracting abroad — all tax, accounting and labour compliance services are handled by our in-house Spanish professionals.
Our mission is to help you start your business the right way — legally, efficiently and with full compliance under Spanish law.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
- Do I need a NIE to open a company in Spain?
Yes. Every director or shareholder must have a NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero) before incorporation. - Does forming a company in Spain give me a visa or residency?
No. Company formation does not automatically grant a visa, work permit or residency. Those are separate legal processes. - How long does company formation take?
The process usually takes a few days, but timing depends on government officers completing the registration. We handle everything up to submission. - Are you a government office?
No, we are private legal and accounting advisers officially authorized as a Punto PAE. Government officers handle the registrations; we prepare and manage the process for you. - Can I form a company without visiting Spain?
Yes. Most procedures can be completed remotely if you have a digital certificate or grant us power of attorney. - Do you handle taxes and payroll after formation?
Absolutely. We provide full tax, accounting and labour compliance services across Spain.
