Setting up a company online in Spain and the EU will be possible from 2021! The European Parliament and of the Council of 20 June 2019, has amended the directive decree in regards the utilization of digital instruments and processes in the field of company law.

This Directive therefore proposes to develop a tool for the online incorporation and registration of companies and the presentation of the necessary documentation.

As a novelty, the Directive establishes that it will be possible to electronically identify shareholders and directors by telematic means and thus avoid the requirement for them to have to travel physically. But before, member States  should ensure to national and cross-border users that secure electronic identification and the use of trusted services is possible (in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council).

In Conclusion, this new Directive represents an advance and progress for the member states of the European Union to encourage and develop competition between companies and to make the internal market stronger and more prosperous.
