Pricing
How we price, and how fast you’ll know.
A fixed monthly fee, built from your actual obligations, in writing before anything starts.
We don’t publish a price list, because no two companies are the same. What we can explain is exactly how the number is reached, what moves it, and what can never appear on an invoice.
You’ll have a figure within 24 hours of the first call. Most clients have it on the call itself.
How the number is built.
-
Scope.
Managed Payroll, Tax & Employment, or Full Subsidiary with the books. Three different jobs, three different bases.
-
Company type.
A Spanish company, a branch or permanent establishment of a foreign one, or a sole trader. The same scope costs more to run for a non-resident, and the fee says so.
-
Invoices per month.
Issued and received, in bands. It is the best measure of how much of your company passes through our hands each month.
-
Annual turnover.
It absorbs everything turnover brings with it: monthly VAT, near real-time reporting under SII, the large-company regime. Never a separate line on the invoice.
-
Payslips.
One rate per payslip per month, the same in every scope, falling as headcount grows. Posted staff and a director on payroll have their own rate.
The fee is the base from scope and invoices, plus the turnover supplement, plus payslips, plus any module you have chosen. Two people quoting the same company land on the same number, and your advisor will tell you which driver put you where you are.
A fixed monthly fee starts from one employee. A company with its own entity has a minimum, because a named advisor, a second person who knows the file and a monthly brief cannot be delivered below it. Against an EOR, the comparison holds from five people in Spain; below that an EOR is often still the right answer, and we will say so.
Up and down. Every January we re-read the five drivers from your real numbers, and the fee moves with them in both directions. In between, it can only move up, with 30 days’ written notice naming the driver that changed. You never discover a change on an invoice.
What sits outside, always quoted first.
Structural change — a new entity, capital changes, share transfers, closing down. Defence — an inspection, an appeal, a tribunal, an ex-employee. Implementing a new statutory obligation from scratch. Anything late when you arrived.
One rule covers all of it: running your company is inside the fee. Changing it, or defending it, is quoted before we start.
See all our services →No minimum term.
No tie-in, no notice period dressed up as a contract length, and no penalty for leaving. What you paid for a diagnostic or an entry project comes off your monthly fee at 25% of each invoice until it is used up, so you never pay for it twice. Onboarding and catch-up work are the two things never credited. If you want to stop, your data, your books and your access come back within 15 days.
We would rather be chosen every month than hold anyone in place.
Questions about the fee.
Do you charge by the hour for anything?
No. Projects are fixed-price against a written scope. If a project goes beyond what we scoped, that’s our error in scoping it, not a new invoice.
Is the setup really free?
It’s credited, not free — there’s a difference and we’d rather be straight about it. Diagnostics and entry projects come off your monthly fee at 25% of each invoice until the amount is exhausted, so you watch the line shrink every month and never pay for it twice. Two things are never credited: onboarding, and catching up on anything that was late when you arrived. Both are work nobody else would have done.
We’re bigger than fifty people. What then?
That’s fine, and increasingly common. Above fifty the scope changes rather than the answer — more payroll complexity, more employment support, tighter integration with your parent’s systems — and the fee is built the same way. We have no hard ceiling. What we don’t do is a full transfer pricing study with comparables or an audit signature, and we’ll tell you where those sit.
Isn’t 90 days too long for a set-up?
Thirty days is a fair description of the corporate steps: incorporation, tax number, registrations, bank. We do those in six to twelve weeks and the honest constraint is the tax IDs for your foreign directors and the bank’s checks on your parent, neither of which any firm controls. Our ninety days covers something different. It ends with your first employee hired under the correct collective agreement, your first payroll run, your first tax filing submitted, your books open from the date of incorporation, and your first report delivered to your parent in its own format. A company that exists is not a company that works. We commit to the second one.
