Spainwide Business Services

About Spainwide Business Services

Established in Madrid in 1995, this consultancy describes itself as a network of English-speaking professionals serving foreign nationals who want to live or run a business in Spain. Its premise is that expatriates struggle to find reliable legal, tax and administrative help in English, so it offers a single point of contact covering legal, taxation, bureaucracy, relocation, banking, insurance and company matters. Fixed service packages are aimed at new company founders, small and medium businesses, freelancers and foreign-language teachers, and all client contact is conducted in English by native speakers. The firm has announced plans for further offices on the Costa del Sol and Costa Blanca. Its online presence looks dated, with reference material still pointing to 2010 and 2011 tax calendars, so clients should confirm current service scope directly. The core audience is newcomers from English-speaking countries rather than established Spanish businesses.

Services
