Accountants and corporate service providers in Alicante

Law firms alongside accountants

Nine of the 58 firms are law firms, a higher share than in Valencia. For a buyer of property who also wants a holding company, or an investor who needs a shareholder agreement drafted next to the registration, that pairing saves a hand-over. Small practices make up 52 of the firms and 6 are medium-sized; there is no large network in the city.

The entity types the firms name read like a map of foreign structuring: 14 name the S.L., 5 the S.A., 5 branches of foreign companies, 4 holding companies and 4 subsidiaries. Cooperatives appear at 3 firms. If you are planning a holding that owns property or shares in other countries, ask which of these the firm has set up in the past year.

Who the clients are

Companies are the client group named by the most firms, 23, ahead of individuals (17) and small and medium businesses (15). Self-employed people appear at 15 firms and self-employed professionals at 14. Smaller circles include family businesses (7 firms), non-residents (5), foreign investors (5) and non-resident property owners (5). A total of 28 firms say foreign clients are a focus.

Property is the sector named most, by 13 firms. Startups come next with 5, then family businesses, technology and crypto with 3 each. Anyone running a digital business will find fewer firms with that background than a property investor will, so ask for a worked example.

Languages

Alicante is a city where French (9 firms) and Russian (6 firms) matter more than usual. Spanish is spoken at 57 firms and English at 17. Italian and German are available at 3 firms each, while Arabic, Dutch and Ukrainian are available at 2 each. If you work in French or Russian, say so in the first message, because the pool is small and a firm will tell you quickly whether it can serve you.

Services

Company formation is handled by 53 firms. Fifty-one keep accounts, 47 run payroll and 36 file VAT returns, so the standard package is easy to find. Residency and visa support is available at 20 firms and corporate secretarial work at 20. Only 4 firms audit, and only 1 helps with bank accounts.

Some firms act as an Entrepreneur Service Point connected to the CIRCE online network, which allows a company to be started electronically. Others mention bar association membership or a collaboration agreement with the Spanish Tax Agency.
