Why This Guide Is Essential for Operating in Spain
Entering the Spanish market can be a major opportunity for your company, but starting operations from abroad means facing procedures and requirements that are not always clear. Processes such as obtaining a tax ID number (NIF), opening a bank account, registering your trademark, or filing tax obligations often require physical presence or the involvement of an authorized representative.
In this specialized guide, we explain clearly and directly how the figure of the legal and tax representative works in Spain, why it may be mandatory for non-resident companies, and how it helps you operate in the country with full security. You will understand in which cases a representative is required, what functions they perform before public authorities, and how this figure acts as your local support to facilitate every step.
This resource will allow you to anticipate the most important procedures, avoid administrative delays, and understand the advantages of operating in Spain without opening a branch or subsidiary. The aim is to offer you a detailed and practical overview so that you can start your business activity in the country with confidence and without setbacks.

Advantages of Having Legal and Tax Representation in Spain
Operating in Spain without local support can lead to delays, administrative errors, and difficulties that slow down your market entry. Having a legal and tax representative provides multiple advantages that make a difference from day one.
A foreign company operating without local representation may face problems such as:
- Inability to carry out banking procedures without physical presence.
- Obstacles when filing tax returns with the Tax Agency.
- Loss of opportunities or tax benefits due to lack of knowledge.
- Higher risk of penalties and administrative delays.
On the other hand, a legal and tax representative allows you to:
- Operate in Spain without creating a branch or subsidiary, reducing costs and time.
- Comply with all tax obligations as a non-resident, with complete peace of mind.
- Manage key procedures from abroad, avoiding travel and delegating to a local expert.
- Accelerate your entry into the Spanish market, eliminating bureaucratic hurdles.
Legal representation is, ultimately, the bridge that enables successful establishment for international companies wishing to enter the Spanish market without barriers.
