Setting up or growing your business in Málaga

Whatever you need to establish your business in Málaga, we can help: finding premises to buy or rent, coping with the bureaucracy, or getting a ready-to-work team.

Landing packages built around your requirements

We understand that every business needs a different level of support. A four-person engineering satellite and a full branch office have almost nothing in common except the paperwork. So we build a landing package specifically for your requirements and your budget.

We are HR professionals with long experience of working with international clients, and we act as your primary HR contact on the ground — helping you understand Spanish legislation and labour law rather than discovering it the expensive way.

Premises, office and company set-up

Business premises

Finding the right premises to buy or rent, comparing locations and negotiating the terms.

Office supplies & management

Consumables, equipment and furniture, plus ongoing office and facilities management once you are open.

Processing documents & forms

NIE numbers for your people, bank accounts, access to public healthcare, and the forms that sit between you and being operational.

Business registration

Introductions to the right professionals and help building the business plan behind the registration.

Employee relocation packages

A well-developed relocation package reflects positively on a company's reputation and its ability to attract top talent. It also widens the pool you can hire from — which matters most where the roles are hardest to fill.

The benefits run both ways. Candidates see an employer investing in them, which improves acceptance rates and retention. Your HR team stays focused on HR rather than managing a house move. And employees who do not have to organise their own relocation take less time off and get productive faster.

The costs are real too — administration, budget, risk — but they are manageable when the work is outsourced to someone who does it repeatedly.

What a relocation package can cover

General paperwork

Authorities and institutional bureaucracy: booking the appointments and completing the forms — NIE, social security number, bank account and the rest.

Temporary housing

Standard relocation packages include around 30 days of temporary accommodation for transferees.

Long-term housing

Finding the right neighbourhood and providing real information on the rental market and available properties.

Partner assistance

Support for the spouse or living partner arriving with the employee — the person whose move is most often ignored.

Schooling

School search and the full enrolment process for school-age children, including complementary activities.

Miscellaneous

Driving licence exchange, address changes, pet registration, cleaning services, utility hook-ups and other move-related services.

Human resources consultancy

It is equally important and difficult to recruit and retain professionals in every sector, and especially in IT. We analyse the full employee cycle with you in order to understand and define your needs, then implement processes and company rules that follow local legislation and local practice.

We offer worldwide and local recruitment, motivation and job-satisfaction surveys with the action planning that should follow them, and we help you define HR policies and write the employee handbook.

In-house HR, outsourced

We act as your internal HR department. You keep full control of everything HR-related while being advised by experienced HR professionals — the benefits of an in-house team with the economics of outsourcing.

Being part of your team lets us handle sensitive matters the way an in-house colleague would. Employees are usually more comfortable talking to someone they know than to a stranger from outside the business. All proprietary and personal information is held securely and confidentially.

For start-ups and small companies, a full internal HR function rarely makes economic sense. After an initial requirements survey we estimate how many hours a day, week or month of dedicated HR your company actually needs, and you pay for that.

For medium-sized companies opening a branch in Málaga with an HR department already established abroad, we work alongside your existing team and adapt your company rules, code of conduct and employee handbook to Spanish legislation.

Corporate events

Companies use corporate events to bring people together and build the relationships that remote work erodes. Tell us the budget and we take care of the rest: theme, venue, guest count, food and beverage, décor and agenda.

Seminars

Short events from a couple of hours to a few working days, with a single speaker or several.

Team building

Time together in a non-work environment, which is usually where the actual team building happens.

Outdoor activities

Physical group activities in nature, plus workshops on emotions in the workplace and sensitivity training.

Retreats & incentive trips

Three to five day trips: site selection, lodging, transport, catering, meetings and everything around them.

Company parties

Grand openings, anniversaries and milestones, including winter and summer parties.

Gift boxes

Christmas hampers and gift baskets — sweets, gourmet food or healthy options, in whatever style fits your culture.

Questions from companies

Can you help us decide whether Málaga is the right location?

Yes. We can lay out the realities — salary bands for the roles you need, office costs by area, the talent pool around the university and the Parque Tecnológico, and what relocation to Málaga is actually like to sell to a candidate — before you commit.

Do you replace a gestoría or a law firm?

No. We coordinate with them. Company registration, tax and payroll filings are regulated work; we introduce you to professionals we trust, manage the process end to end, and make sure nothing falls between the parties.

How do you charge for HR services?

For in-house HR we estimate the hours per week or month your company actually needs after an initial requirements survey, and you pay for that dedication rather than a full-time salary. Project work such as a recruitment plan or an employee handbook is quoted per project.

Can you support an employee relocation without the rest?

Yes. Many companies use us only for relocation packages for incoming hires, with no other engagement. It is a common first project.

Do you work with companies outside Málaga city?

Yes — across Málaga province and the Costa del Sol, and remotely for headquarters anywhere. Most of our clients' decision-makers are not in Spain.

Considering Málaga for your next office?

Tell us the shape of what you are planning — headcount, timing, budget — and we will come back with a landing package.
