Quelle structure pour votre projet ?

Quelle structure pour votre projet ?

Le choix de la structure juridique conditionne votre responsabilité, votre fiscalité, vos obligations comptables et votre crédibilité commerciale. En Espagne, les options principales sont l’autónomo (indépendant), la SL et la SA.

Chaque forme a ses avantages : l’autónomo est simple et rapide à lancer ; la SL protège le patrimoine et convient à la plupart des projets ; la SA répond à des besoins de capital plus importants.

Notre cabinet analyse votre situation pour recommander la structure optimale.

Critères de décision

Critères de décision

Le bon choix dépend notamment de :

  • le niveau de risque et la protection du patrimoine personnel,
  • la fiscalité (impôt sur les sociétés vs IRPF de l’autónomo),
  • les besoins de capital et l’image vis-à-vis des partenaires,
  • les obligations comptables et administratives associées.

Frequently asked questions

The most common questions about "Choosing Your Legal Structure in Spain".

Autónomo ou SL ?

L’autónomo est plus simple et économique au lancement ; la SL protège le patrimoine et devient souvent plus avantageuse au-delà d’un certain niveau de revenus. Une analyse personnalisée est recommandée.

Quand choisir une SA plutôt qu’une SL ?

La SA s’adresse à des projets nécessitant un capital important ou une ouverture à de nombreux actionnaires. Pour la majorité des projets, la SL suffit.

Peut-on changer de structure plus tard ?

Oui, des évolutions sont possibles (transformation, apport en société), mais elles ont un coût. Bien choisir dès le départ évite des opérations ultérieures.
