What is the minimum capital required to form a Limited Liability Company?

Since the reform of the Capital Companies Act (2023), the minimum share capital to form a Limited Liability Company in Spain is 1 euro.

However, with such little capital:

  • The company must allocate 20% of its profits to reserves until it reaches 3,000 euros
  • If the company is liquidated before reaching that threshold, the shareholders are subsidiarily liable for the debts up to 3,000 euros

For practical reasons (credibility with suppliers, banks, and clients), it is recommended to contribute at least 3,000 euros as initial share capital.

The capital must be fully paid up at the time of incorporation, whether in cash or through non-monetary contributions.

"Limited Liability Companies (SL) are ideal for small and medium-sized enterprises with few partners, family businesses, or professional partnerships. These business structures do not require investing large amounts of money in initial capital. On the other hand, Public Limited Companies (SA) are better suited to activities that require a greater number of partners to raise a more significant capital. Furthermore, SA companies offer greater flexibility in terms of partner mobility.
The requirements to form a limited liability company are the contribution of share capital, the designation of a registered office, the company name, the election and appointment of a management body, as well as the contribution and subscription of the share capital; all of this will be reflected in the deed of incorporation of the company, in addition to providing the articles of association by which the company will be governed.
A limited liability company is a form of business entity that combines characteristics of a partnership and a sole proprietorship.
