What are the differences between setting up a company in Germany and in Spain? [Reddit]
Answered by a local advisor in English, no commitment.
Answer
In Germany, the GmbH requires a minimum capital of €25,000, of which at least €12,500 must be paid in upon incorporation, while in Spain the SL requires only €3,000. Additionally, the German process is more formalistic and requires a public deed before a notary and registration in the Handelsregister. The German corporate tax is around 15% plus the municipal trade tax.
