Corporate advisory services in Madrid for companies and shareholders

Our corporate advisory services in Madrid help companies and shareholders prepare company formation and transactions involving an existing business. We review resolutions, capital, directors and documentation, coordinating relevant tax and accounting matters. We provide remote support throughout Spain and distinguish our work from the roles of notaries and the Commercial Registry.

Advice on company formation

Forming a company requires the proposed activity to be considered alongside decisions about shareholders, management and capital. Before preparing the transaction, we review what has been decided and what needs assessment. This defines the advice and coordination required without treating signing as a procedure separate from the company's subsequent operation.

Legal structure, shareholders and company organisation

We begin with who is involved, the planned activity and how the business will be organised. Contributions, shareholder roles and management need to be considered together. We help organise these decisions and their possible implications, without assuming that one structure suits every project.

Preparing company formation and coordinating the steps

Once the project is defined, we identify the documents and actions included in the engagement. Where a notary, the Commercial Registry or other professionals are involved, their roles are distinguished from MRC's. Preparation should establish what is still needed before proceeding and which subsequent obligations should be coordinated with tax and accounting.

Corporate changes and shareholder transactions

A company may need to adapt to a new activity, financing or shareholder structure. We first identify the intended outcome and the documents reflecting its current position. We then define the transaction and required actions rather than applying the same process to every change.

Corporate changes and share capital

Connecting resolutions, contributions and their effect on the accounts.

We review proposed changes in the context of the company's position. A capital increase or reduction, for example, requires the resolutions, contributions and accounting effects to be considered together. We establish the documents and coordination with any professionals involved.

Appointing and removing directors

Reviewing resolutions and the director’s relationship with the company.

An appointment, removal or management change requires a review of the resolutions and their formalisation. The director's relationship with the company and any tax or employment implications also need consideration. We explain which aspects MRC will handle within the engagement.

Shareholder changes and share transfers

The transaction, its documentation and the implications for each party.

A shareholder joining or leaving, a share transfer or a contribution involves more than moving money. We review the proposed transaction, its documentation and possible effects on each party. If additional advice is required, we identify it before proceeding.

Before formalising a change, it is important to distinguish the business agreement from its documentation and financial consequences. The review may require information from the company and the parties involved. We assess the specific transaction rather than assuming that every shareholder joining or leaving receives the same treatment.

Coordination with notaries and the Commercial Registry

Where a transaction requires notarisation or registration, we organise the documents and coordination within the agreed scope. Our work is distinguished from the functions and costs of the notary, registry or other professionals. Timing also depends on documentation and those external steps.

The proposal should distinguish MRC's preparation and follow-up from the functions of those professionals or bodies. It should also identify which documents depend on the client and which actions must be completed before the next stage, without promising a completion date before those dependencies are understood.

Tax and accounting implications of corporate decisions

A corporate decision may change taxation for the company or shareholders and require particular accounting entries. We therefore connect the relevant areas before filing rather than leaving the consequences until after signing. We explain the issues identified and the analysis included in the proposed work.

How our corporate advisory services in Madrid work

The first conversation starts with your idea, not a folder of documents.

  1. We understand the transaction

    Our corporate advisory services in Madrid start with understanding the purpose of the transaction, the people involved and the planned dates.

  2. We review the documents

    We then review the company’s deeds, articles, resolutions and relevant financial information. You do not need to send all those documents in the first message: initially, describe the decision you need to make.

  3. We agree the next steps

    We then distinguish unresolved background matters from the new transaction and define alternatives, documents and responsibilities. If additional analysis or another professional is needed, we explain this before extending the work. The proposal should make clear which actions will be carried out and which external costs have been identified.

Frequently asked questions about corporate advisory services

These questions help distinguish the business decision from the procedures it requires. In both cases, the starting point is understanding the transaction and the company's current position.

Can I ask for advice before incorporating a company?

Yes. We can review the project, participants, activity and proposed organisation. This identifies unresolved decisions and the advisory scope before documents are prepared or a signing is arranged.

Do you advise companies that are already operating?

Yes. MRC can assess corporate changes and specific transactions for an operating company. Its current position and documents must be reviewed. Outstanding earlier matters are distinguished from the new transaction.

What documents do you need to assess a corporate transaction?

This depends on the transaction. Deeds, articles, earlier resolutions and related financial information may be relevant. Initially, explain the proposal, participants and intended dates. MRC will then confirm the documents and sharing channel.

Do your fees include notary and Commercial Registry costs?

MRC’s work is distinct from the functions and costs of notaries, the Commercial Registry and other professionals. The proposal should state the coordination included and possible external expenses. Do not assume they are all included.

Can shareholder or capital changes have tax consequences?

There may be consequences for the company and participants, alongside documentation and accounting requirements. The transaction should therefore be assessed before formalisation. MRC coordinates corporate, tax and accounting matters within the agreed work.

How are the required steps and costs determined?

They depend on the transaction, the documents and the professionals involved. After reviewing the purpose and background, MRC explains its fees, included actions and identifiable external costs. A total is not assumed before the case is understood.

Are your corporate advisory services in Madrid available to companies throughout Spain?

Yes. Our Madrid office provides remote corporate advice to companies and shareholders throughout Spain. We can review the project or transaction and agree the documents and coordination required. MRC’s remote advice does not mean that every signature or notarial or registry procedure can be completed remotely; those steps are assessed separately.
