At Continental Consulting we revise scores of
contracts on a monthly basis for our clients. We ensure that all new
commercial contracts are legally binding and that you understand the
implications and conditions of entering into any Spanish contract.
We provide a tailored package for all new clients looking to
purchase a business in the Costa del Sol and this service includes
the following:
* Meeting the sellers of the business and their legal
representatives and the confirming any change of conditions with the
freeholder before any money or contracts and handed over
* We will study the copy of the current lease contract for any
irregularities and confirm with the relevant town hall that the
license is legal and is able to be transferred into your name and at
what cost. In many instances if the current opening licence is more
than twelve months old then the town hall can ask for a security
certificate to confirm that there has not been any structural
changes to the business and that the current installations are up to
legal requirements. This Certificate comes in the form of a detailed
book compiled by an architect able to carry out such certificates.
We work closely with the town hall and the architects to ensure a
trouble free and legal transfer.
* If there are any there any outstanding bills to be paid on the
business then we will check with the respective companies to settle
these amounts on or before the completion of the sale.
* Upon the completion of the business we will register all clients
for the relevant social security payments and register them as new
business owners for tax.
* If the business that has been purchased has members of staff on
contract then we will advise our clients of the position and status
of the contracts held, and prepare new contracts if needed.
The price for the full service package as detailed is 1700 Euros +
I.V.A with method of payment being 50% upon undertaking the work and
the balance upon the signing of the new lease. If needed the
security certificate is currently priced at 450 Euros + I.V.A with
the same payment structure as mentioned.

Paying
tax in Spain as in any country is an experience that we never look
forward to. However worse than paying tax we think is paying too
much tax and we have found that a high number of our clients were
paying too much before then contracted our recommended accountants services.
