incorporation of a Limited Company is the fastest and most efficient way to create a company in Spain, reducing deadlines and avoiding administrative errors that can delay the start of activity.
If you want to start a business without complications, here we explain the process step by step, the requirements, the real deadlines and how to do it correctly from the very beginning.
What is the express incorporation of a Limited Liability Company?
The express incorporation of a Limited Liability Company (SL) is a streamlined procedure that allows you to create a company in just a few days using:
- Standard Statutes
- Online processing
- CIRCE and Single Electronic Document (DUE)
- Coordination between notary, tax office, and commercial registry
Thanks to this system, it is possible to have the company operational in approximately 3 to 7 business days.
What is a Single-Member Limited Company (SLU)?
When a company has only one partner, we call it a Single-Member Limited Company (SLU) .
It is exactly the same as a traditional SL in terms of:
- Liability limited to the capital contributed
- Minimum share capital of €1 (although a higher amount is recommended for solvency)
- Tax and accounting obligations
- Registration in the Commercial Registry
The only difference is that all shares belong to a single person , who can be:
- Individual (self-employed person who wants to professionalize their activity)
- Legal entity (for example, a holding company)
In the express incorporation process, the SLU can be created as quickly as a SL with several partners.
Advantages of creating a limited liability company (SL) quickly
Opting for an express incorporation process offers multiple benefits:
- Reduced waiting times
- Lower notary and registry costs
- Coordinated and centralized processing
- Legal certainty from the outset
- Immediate start of activity
Furthermore, it helps avoid common errors in statutes or tax procedures that can later lead to penalties or blockages.
How to expressly incorporate a Limited Liability Company step by step
1. Application and reservation of the company name
The first step is to request a negative certificate of company name from the Central Mercantile Registry to verify that the chosen name is available.
It is recommended to present several options to avoid rejections and delays.
2. Opening of bank account and share capital
To set up a limited liability company (SL), a minimum capital of 1 euro is required (although a higher amount is recommended for greater solvency).
The bank will issue a certificate accrediting the receipt of the share capital.
3. Drafting of articles of association
Express incorporation uses standardized statutes that allow the process to be expedited.
The statutes regulate:
- Corporate purpose
- Home
- Management body
- Social participation
Proper wording prevents costly future modifications.
In the case of a single-member limited liability company, the single-member status must be expressly stated in the public deed and registered in the Commercial Registry.
Likewise, any change (for example, the addition of a new member) must be registered to record that the company is no longer a single-member company.
4. Signing of the public deed before a notary
The partners must go to a notary to sign the deed of incorporation of the company.
At this moment the creation of the SL is legally formalized.
5. Tax procedures at the Tax Office
After the notarized signing, the initial tax procedures are carried out:
a) Application for provisional NIF
It allows you to start the activity while the registration is being completed.
b) Registration in the IAE
Declaration of the heading corresponding to the economic activity.
c) Census declaration (form 036/037)
Official communication of the start of activity.
6. Registration in the Commercial Registry
Once the company is registered in the Provincial Commercial Registry, the company acquires full legal personality.
7. Obtaining the definitive NIF
After registration, the definitive NIF (Tax Identification Number) is requested from the Tax Office.
8. Registration as a self-employed company owner (if applicable)
If the administrator has effective control of the company, he/she must register with the Special Regime for Self-Employed Workers (RETA).
9. Digital certificate of the company
It is essential for:
- Tax filing
- Receiving electronic notifications
- Online administrative procedures
Without a digital certificate, the company will not be able to operate correctly in the current online environment.
How long does the express incorporation of a Limited Liability Company take?
Under normal conditions, the express incorporation process can be completed in:
- 3 to 7 business days
- Even 48–72 hours in well-coordinated urgent cases
The timeframe depends on the availability of the company name, bank speed, and notary schedule.
How much does it cost to expressly incorporate a Limited Liability Company?
Typical costs include:
- Notary
- Commercial Registry
- Administrative management
- Digital certificate
The total cost depends on the specifics of the case.
Common mistakes when creating a SL quickly
Although it's an agile process, there are common mistakes that should be avoided:
- Choosing the wrong corporate purpose
- Not anticipating future expansions of activity
- Failure to properly define the management system
- Forgetting subsequent tax obligations
- Not assessing the administrator's employment implications
Poor planning can lead to subsequent statutory modifications with additional costs.
