Their support included essential tools and expert guidance for each vertical. From company registration to navigating local regulations, their assistance was invaluable. We continue to rely on their expertise, receiving the professional and timely assistance needed to move forward efficiently.

The supportive team at Barcelona Activa have been absolutely essential in making our arrival possible. To be honest we would not be in Barcelona without their help. Barcelona Activa are fast, well-networked, insightful, and have a broad international outlook coupled with a vast experience. And although they work extremely hard, they somehow find the time to be both kind and funny along the way!

Our experience with Business Landing Service at Barcelona Activa was truly exceptional. We were deeply impressed by their swift and effective approach. Emilio and the team not only provided expert guidance and valuable suggestions but also showed genuine kindness throughout our collaboration. It is rare to encounter an entrepreneurship-oriented agency that delivers such comprehensive support with such dedication. While we are just beginning our journey in Barcelona, the support from Barcelona Activa has already laid a strong foundation for our future endeavours.
When our industrial minerals brokerage decided to establish a presence in the EU, to be closer to our corporate clients, Barcelona was our preferred destination. However, we had concerns about navigating the regulatory framework, understanding language nuances, and making informed decisions about onboarding our company in this new environment.
Fortunately, our concerns were quickly alleviated once we contacted the effective and efficient team at Barcelona Activa, with the highly responsive Emilio Arranz Castella as our point of contact. They not only helped us make the best decisions about our new venture but also facilitated the speedy processing of all government-related documentation and approvals. Additionally, they connected us with relevant third parties and companies that could provide the world-class services we required.
To be completely frank, our experience in Barcelona would not have been nearly as productive, in the early stages, without their support. Therefore, I highly recommend Barcelona Activa to anyone considering opening a business in Barcelona.

As an Irish company, we found it remarkably easy to establish our business, thanks to the outstanding support provided by Barcelona Activa and their dedicated team. Their assistance was invaluable in enabling ExpandNow to successfully expand its operations. We are immensely grateful for their crucial role in our growth journey.

I moved to Barcelona for my wife's academic career and wanted to continue my work in Spain as an entrepreneur in the virtual reality game development industry and start a company to hire Spanish employees. The process of moving to Spain was scary, as I do not yet speak the language and our move was very sudden. The team at Barcelona Activa was very patient and welcoming with me, helping me navigate setting up the business and going personally with me through key steps of the process like meeting with a Notary. I would highly recommend working with Barcelona Activa and I was really warmly surprised by how welcoming they were of people coming from abroad.

Así fue que nos contactamos con la oficina de Landing, atendida por Emili Arranz recibiendo un certero y preciso asesoramiento super profesional para nuestro plan nutriéndonos de todas las opciones de herramientas y profesionales que necesitábamos para cada vertical de nuestro modelo. Aun seguimos apoyándonos en ellos para cada instancia recibiendo el profesionalismo y timing adecuado que se necesita para poder avanzar.
