Corporate secretarial in Spain

Corporate secretarial work keeps the company’s legal records in order. In Spain a capital company is created by public deed registered in the Registro Mercantil, and later decisions such as changing directors, moving the registered office or increasing capital are recorded in the same way. The service also covers minute books, shareholder meetings and the annual deposit of accounts.

For a foreign owner it removes the need to be present for each step. Ask the firm who drafts the resolutions, whether it arranges the notary and the registry filing, how quickly changes are recorded and whether documents are provided in English as well as Spanish.

237 firms list corporate secretarial services for Spain: 198 accounting firms, 26 law firms and 13 corporate services providers. Spanish is the working language of 232 and English of 103.

Frequently asked questions

What does a corporate secretary do for a Spanish S.L.?

They prepare shareholder and director resolutions, arrange notary and registry steps, keep the books of minutes and help deposit the annual accounts. The aim is that the company's public record stays accurate.

Do I need to attend Spanish meetings in person?

Not always. A power of attorney or remote participation, where the articles allow it, can be used. Ask the firm what it needs from you for each type of decision.
