- Choosing a Business Name: Selecting a unique and distinctive name for your business is the first crucial step. Ensure that the chosen name complies with Spain's naming regulations.
- Drafting Articles of Association: For entities like a sociedad limitada, drafting the articles of association is critical. This document outlines the company's internal regulations, including the distribution of shares, decision-making processes, and other key aspects. Certain documents, such as the articles of association, need to be notarized before a Spanish notary public to ensure authenticity and legality.
- Tax Identification Number (NIF): Every business in Spain must obtain a Tax Identification Number (Número de Identificación Fiscal or NIF), a unique identifier crucial for tax purposes and other official transactions.

This step includes submitting necessary documentation, such as notarized articles of association, to the local registry and payment of the company registration fee.
