You will often people talking of their Gestoria, their lawyer or accountant and it can sometimes be confusing as to who does what.
A Gestoria is probably best defined as a cross between an accountant and a solicitor as we know them in the UK.
A gestoria is a profession which requires the person to undertake formal qualifications and pass exams.
They carry out a variety of tasks including:
- preparing company and individual accounts
- setting up paperwork for small businesses and limited companies
- processing paperwork for purchase and sale of cars
- processing social security documentation
- offering general business advice
A good Gestoria is essential if running a business in Spain and a very useful contact even if you are just residing here.
If you need full legal advice then you are best speaking to a Lawyer (Abogado).
Apartsol can reccommend a number of qualified individuals who will be happy to advise you.
