Incorporation of Companies or subsidiaries in France and Spain

Globalization and international expansion are strategic goals for many companies and professionals looking to grow and diversify their businesses. In this context, the incorporation of companies or subsidiaries in Spain or France is a viable and attractive option for organizations that want to establish themselves in the main European markets. At BCVLex, we offer a complete and personalized service for the creation of these entities, ensuring that each step of the process is carried out efficiently and in accordance with current legislation.

Understanding Companies and Subsidiaries

Before we dive into the incorporation process, it’s essential to differentiate between a parent company and a subsidiary. A parent company is the main entity that owns most of the shares and controls other companies, called subsidiaries. Subsidiaries operate independently, but under the supervision and control of the parent company. This model allows companies to grow while taking advantage of country-specific benefits.
