For most teams entering Spain, an EOR is faster, cheaper and lower-risk than establishing a local entity.
| Spain entity setup | Peak EOR | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | S.L. from €1 share capital, plus notary, NIE and ongoing compliance | No setup costs, transparent monthly pricing |
| Time to hire | Around 4-8 weeks, often slowed by NIE processing | 2-4 weeks, full compliance included |
| Ideal for | 10+ employees, permanent commitment, local board needs | Testing markets, 1-20 employees, flexibility needed |
Your upfront entity cost with Peak. Skip Spanish company formation, social-security registration and the ongoing compliance overhead - with the freedom to scale up or down without complications.
We'll tell you when setting up your own entity makes more sense. Our goal is your success, not our commission.
