How to invest in Madrid
Thank you sincerely for visiting us and expressing interest in Madrid.
Setting up your business in our city, the third capital of the European Union, is a straightforward process. Within the resources available on this Virtual One Stop Shop for International Investors, we have organized information into three key thematic blocks. These blocks encompass all the necessary steps for your company to operate on an equal playing field with businesses already integrated into Madrid’s dynamic ecosystem.
The investment process is outlined in three distinct stages: Company Formation, Registration of Economic Activity (including licenses), and Visas and International Mobility, the latter being specifically tailored for non-European nationals.
In each section, you’ll find detailed information, available services, and a guide to help you smoothly establish your business in Madrid. Our team is here to assist with any questions, whether it’s about talent acquisition or finding the right facilities. We’re dedicated to making your business setup process in our city as straightforward as possible.
