Editor's Guide: Business in Spain Here's a short introduction to our Business section for Spain from tips on filling out a Spanish invoice to Spanish labour laws and how to avoid pitfalls when working in Spain.

Starting a business abroad
Starting a business abroad is easy. But you need to understand the local business culture. How do you register a business if you are an expat? What are the rules and regulations for expat entrepreneurs, including freelancers? Expatica’s business channel addresses the basics to help expats find their feet and start a business in unfamiliar territory. Articles like 'Business climate in Spain', 'How to set up a limited company: An expert explains' and 'Avoid the pitfalls of setting up a business in Spain' will point you in the right direction. 


Company law and work permits
Expatica’s business and employment channel gives the lowdown on Spanish labour laws and offers tips for expat businesses and expat entrepreneurs.
