The most common mistake new founders make

Most entrepreneurs pour their energy into validating the product and landing the first customers, leaving the legal and tax structure for “when there’s time”. The problem is that decisions made in the first few months have consequences that compound over years: a poorly designed share structure, rigid articles that prevent scaling, or the wrong tax regime can cost far more than the initial saving on professional fees.

At BMC we have guided the launch of more than 150 startups and newly formed companies. We know that in the early stage every euro matters, which is why this package is designed to cover everything essential with a predictable fee and no surprises. Our goal is for the founder to close out the legal setup in under three weeks and focus entirely on the business.

Why structure matters from day one

Spain’s Startup Act (Ley 28/2022) introduced significant improvements for emerging companies: a more attractive tax regime for founders and investors, better treatment of stock options and a certification process that opens doors to public funding. To take advantage of these benefits, the company must meet certain requirements from the moment of incorporation. We make sure your startup is born with the right configuration to access these incentives when the time comes.

It prevents future disputes that can destroy a company even when the business is performing well.
