Local context
Bilbao is the industrial and cultural heart of the Basque Country, with high living standards, strong public services and its own regional tax administration. It appeals to professionals who value quality of life over sun-belt tourism.
The Basque Country has its own tax authority (Hacienda Foral), so local specialist advice matters — our partners work with the regional system.
Whether you should register as an autónomo (self-employed) or set up an SL (limited company) depends on your income, liability and plans. We help you choose, then our partners handle the incorporation, the digital certificate and registration with Hacienda and Social Security.

Questions about this service
Do you offer company formation & banking in Bilbao?
Yes. We coordinate company formation & banking for clients in Bilbao and across Basque Country, matching you with a licensed partner who knows the local offices and procedures.
Can we start remotely before arriving in Bilbao?
Often yes. Much of the preparation can begin online, so that by the time you reach Bilbao the key steps are already in motion. Book a free consultation to map it out.
Can I open the bank account without flying to Spain?
Often yes, with a business NIE and digital certificate. Some banks still require one in-person visit; our partner will confirm the fastest route for your bank.
Autónomo or SL — which is cheaper?
Autónomo is cheaper to start and run at lower income; an SL limits personal liability and can be more efficient as profits grow. We model both for your case.
