Can do business in Spain?
The answer seems obvious. Yes, in Spain it clear that it can do business, but if you look a bit more about the issue, we will not.
Not so simple a manner as should be able to do.
At the time the information on the unemployment reaches historic proportions, and once again the main concern of millions of Spanish families, promotion of business opportunities and entrepreneurial attitude should be the foundation on which to build recovery economic for it to be stable and sustainable.
Index Doing Business , World Bank subsidiary, measured in detail for years the degree of ease of doing business in 183 countries. In this report the data from Spain are nothing flattering or by the evolution of our country, not for his current position with respect to neighboring countries.
At the global level, Spain is ranked No. 62 in ease of doing business in 2010, having lost 11 positions on the previous edition (which already had a classification rather than discrete), far from the position we correspond, our country being a major world economies.
This means that World Bank analysts during 2010 is preferable to start a business in developed countries like USA, UK, or Japan. So far nothing noteworthy, but also other countries like Korea, South Africa, Cyprus, Tonga and Mongolia are ahead of our country in the classification of the facility to engage and do business.
This index measures the ease of comparison to begin to undertake to employ, the ease in dealing with administrative procedures, registering property, getting credit, paying taxes or index of protection and enforcement of contracts.
One of the main brakes on economic activity in Spain are the heavy red tape that entrepreneurs have to implement any initiative. In a scenario in which the administration has been trying to encourage innovative projects that arise and encourage the emergence of entrepreneurs who create jobs, it is absurd that after this public effort in fostering an entrepreneurial figure fall on deaf ears to the enormous bureaucratic obstacles that limit economic activity and business, and that weigh many areas not only in generating domestic demand but also on the competitiveness for the installation of foreign companies in our country, which increasingly choose to emerging markets in Europe, including Ireland, Romania or Poland.
It is unacceptable that e n Spain formalities of starting a business will lead to an average of 10 administrative procedures and 47 days on average, while in OECD countries is on average 5 procedures and 13 days. We in the days of "you again tomorrow."
It is time to demand that expedite and facilitate all these processes, the government and the Autonomous Communities have a pending, and although every year announce measures to simplify administrative procedures to start a business we are still light years from the countries more advanced, in fact, we are in the caboose behind almost all countries of our environment.

Can do business in Spain?. The answer seems obvious. Yes, in Spain it clear that ... ...
It takes a long time to start a business, but I think this issue is not so important, and less the main reason that Spain is very bad in the ranking of ease of doing business.
If you have the initiative and have the money What does it take 1 day 100 and solve 10 or 20 steps? Does the company can ride the no? It's a bummer, but you do not have anything against to do so.
It is a problem far more complex than that. For example, in my particular case, I started gaining a little and want to do everything legal in the beginning much more than half it was the social security and taxes.
I think the problem is is that people are undertaking from the start choking from the point of view, especially if parts of a big business or a business already established.
I do not mind doing 40 steps again, if I can start an economic activity free of charge and pay the taxes when I can pay my part.
Then there is the cultural issue, but that's another story ...
Rubns do not know if it will sound of "opportunity cost." While you're doing 40 roles are not working. The money is usually not yours, every minute you lose something else than taking care of your business costs money. If you also costs money, I care more.
And yes, not only that, they are many more things, but this is not unimportant, rather it is quite relevant. If New Zealand can have some laws that do the same in a day, a formality and zero dollars, you can. Opr I see no reason that can not be done in Spain.
Greetings. E.
If I agree with that should be streamlined and reduce paperwork. What I mean is that what is perhaps the single most economic issue. Me for example why I stopped them well at first.
I think in Ireland (not sure) there is a business figure specially dedicated for new entrepreneurs who do not pay taxes during the start and then pay when they could afford.
In any case, I think the issue goes well for culture and other topics by these obstacles, which are obstacles in the way, but not the big problem.
I am sorry for Spain and more so to see that dropped 11 positions compared to last year's report. And gives me joy to know that Colombia, my country of origin is the first in Latin America (excluding Puerto Rico), ranked 37th, up 25 positions in Spain.
