Frequently asked questions

What documents are required to register as an autónomo?

You will need your passport or NIE, proof of address, and basic information about the planned activity. In some cases, additional certificates may be required depending on the business sector.

How long does the registration process take?

With all the documents in order, the process can take from one to three working days. In some cases, it may take longer if additional approvals are required.

Do I need to have an office or can I work from home?

It depends on the type of activity. If conditions allow, you can work from home.

How often do I have to pay taxes and file reports?

Self-employed individuals usually file quarterly VAT and/or income tax returns, as well as an annual summary return. The exact deadlines depend on the chosen tax regime.

How do I know what is better for me: to become self-employed or to set up an SL (Limited Company)?

It depends on turnover, tax rates and future business development plans. We conduct an analysis and help you make a profitable decision.

Is it possible to register as self-employed remotely, without a personal visit to Spain?

Partially yes. Some procedures can be done online or through a power of attorney. But to obtain the NIE, personal presence may be required.

Is there any difference in registration for different types of activity?

Yes, the choice of code (heading) and possible additional requirements depend on the field.

How do I know that I am officially registered?

After submitting the documents and their approval by the government authorities, you will receive a confirmation. We check the status and provide you with copies of all necessary documents.

Do I need an NIE if I am a foreigner to become self-employed?

Yes, the NIE (Foreigner Identification Number) is mandatory for any legal procedure in Spain, including registering as self-employed.

Is it mandatory to open a separate bank account for self-employed activity?

It is not always mandatory, but it is highly recommended. With a separate account, it is easier to keep track of income and expenses, as well as avoid mixing personal funds with business operations.

Is there any risk of being fined for incorrect registration?

Yes, incorrect filing of documents or late filing of reports can lead to fines.

Can I be self-employed if I am already employed under a contract?

Yes, it is permissible. But you need to take into account the tax and social security aspects in order not to violate the requirements of insurance and fiscal authorities.

What if my activity requires a professional license?

Then, in addition, you need to obtain the appropriate permits (for example, for lawyers, architects, etc.). We help you identify the requirements and prepare the documents.

Can I hire employees as a self-employed person?

Yes, but the process will be more complex, as you will have to formalize contracts, pay salaries and social security contributions for the workers.

How do I deregister as self-employed if the business closes?

It is necessary to submit a notification of termination of activity to the tax office and social security. We prepare the documents and help you complete the process correctly.
