What does Filnet analyse before you incorporate?
Before talking about countries we review your activity, who will invoice, where your customers are and whether you plan to hire. That analysis produces the legal form, the minimum capital and the real calendar of obligations.
The report includes a market cost comparison (notary, registry, fees and capital) and which parts of the process can be done remotely and which require a notary or presence in the country.
Key points
- Legal form: LDA, SAS, GmbH, SRL, SL, SLU or Free Zone
- Minimum capital and liability regime
- Taxation in the country and double taxation treaty with Spain
- Recurring obligations and their monthly cost
What you decide and sign yourself
You approve the legal form, the capital, the corporate purpose and who will be the director. You or your own notary sign the deed and file it with the registry.
Filnet prepares the draft, checks it against local legal requirements and explains every document before you sign. Nothing is filed without your approval.
Key points
- Approving the articles, the capital and the directors
- Signing the deed or the company agreement
- Filing the file with the registry (you or your notary)
- Opening the bank account in the company name
Who executes before the notary and the registry
In Spain, Portugal and the United Kingdom the deed can be signed remotely, with an electronic signature or a power of attorney. Germany and Italy require a notary locally: we coordinate with local notaries and the client or their attorney signs.
Our role is to prepare, review, coordinate and follow the file until it is registered. We do not sign on the client behalf and we do not issue official documents in their name.
What Filnet support actually involves
A Spanish-speaking advisor who knows the country rules, reviews the paperwork and warns you about every deadline before it arrives. No call centres and no handovers between departments.
Once the company is running we stay with you: tax and accounting from 149 EUR/month in Spain and 400 EUR/month in Portugal, payroll per employee, registered office and, where the rules require it, tax representation.
Key points
- Analysis of the country and the legal form
- Preparation and review of the documentation
- Coordination with the notary, the registry and the bank
- Support with tax registration and monthly compliance
What it really costs and how long it takes
The project is quoted after the analysis, because cost depends on the country, the legal form and the capital, and part of it is third-party fees (notary, registry). We do not publish a headline rate that would rarely match your case.
Indicative market timelines range from 1-3 weeks in the United Kingdom and Dubai to 6-14 weeks in Germany. The monthly compliance fee, on the other hand, is a fixed amount per country and is known from day one.
Key points
- United Kingdom · 1-3 weeks
- Dubai · 1-3 weeks
- Spain · 2-4 weeks
- Andorra · 2-6 weeks
- France · 3-6 weeks
- Portugal · 4-8 weeks
- Italy · 4-10 weeks
- Germany · 6-14 weeks
