Changing your company that employs workers with disabilities (hereinafter, CEE) into a social enterprise (hereinafter, CEEIS) will allow you to access tenders that are reserved for those which have the status of Centro Especial de Empleo de Iniciativa Social, meaning that regular or CEE companies are excluded from bidding. Changing into a CEEIS will mean you won’t miss any opportunities like these.
Several questions may arise when you think about transforming your CEE into a CEEIS when it comes to thinking about procedure, rules, paperwork, etc. It is true that current regulations are not completely transparent about how to carry out the change from CEE to CEEIS, which means you may try to do this one way, only to find out that your company has not been granted the changed status.
On the other hand, the lack of legal guidance that exists due to an absence of regulation has led each autonomous community of Spain to develop their own criteria. Thus, it is important to engage the services of an advisor to help with this process and ensure that the changes are made correctly and with all the guarantees.
But, what would happen if the change isn’t carried out correctly? You are faced with two problems: firstly, that the change from CEE to CEEIS is not granted and, secondly, that furthermore you are left with a shareholding structure that does not interest you, as you will have needed to have alter the shareholding structure of the company.
Experience, knowledge and the peace of mind of being in good hands.
CEEIS may become a dominant figure in the market.
We have the best advisors and a successful methodology to help you.
