Availability and low labor costs

The unemployment in Spain has been increasing for the last couple years and affects now about 25% of working people. It means that there are plenty of graduated and new graduated workers available and looking for a job in the Spanish labor market. As a company owner in Spain, you will be able to undertake a highly selective recruitment campaign and finally to meet the employees best suited for your business. Let’s us note that Spain is the 4th ranked country in term of qualified population. In addition, with a 600-euro minimum wage, Spain offers labor costs much cheaper than the other big European economies.

Real estate price

In average, a square meter for commercial premises costs 500 euros per year in Madrid. This appears to be really cheaper than in other European cities: 1900 euro in London, 900 euros in Moscow or 800 in Paris. The availability is high and you will not have any difficulty finding the ideal location to settle your company in Madrid or Barcelona.
