What should a Spanish company consider before establishing operations in the United States?

The answer can involve much more than deciding where to form an entity.

In this episode of Under the Basswood Tree, Basswood Counselโ€™s Christopher Klug speaks with Meritxell Mont Aguado of Capital Auditors and Consultants about the legal, tax, employment, and operational considerations that can arise when Spanish companies enter the U.S. market.

They discuss state selection, entity structure, manufacturing and sales locations, employment requirements, permanent establishment, state economic nexus, and the importance of understanding how a company's actual U.S. activities affect its obligations.

Listen to the full conversation to learn what businesses may wish to consider when planning a U.S. expansion:

Branch or subsidiary? For U.S. companies expanding into Spain, the distinction can have important implications.

In this episode of *Under the Basswood Tree podcast, Meritxell Mont of Capital Auditors and Consultants explains that a branch operates as an extension of the parent company rather than as a separate entity. By contrast, a subsidiary can provide greater separation between the Spanish operations and the U.S. parent, including when it comes to liability.

As Meritxell notes, the right choice depends in part on how independent you want the Spanish operations to be and how you want liability to be structured.

Expanding into Spain starts with one important question: What does your business actually need from its structure?

In this episode of Under the Basswood Tree podcast, Meritxell Mont of Capital Auditors and Consultants explains why U.S. companies entering Spain should not assume that the systems, requirements, and business practices will work the same way they do at home.

Choosing the right structure starts with understanding your business needs and working with advisers who are experienced in an international environment. As Meritxell notes, the right support can help businesses manage risk while allowing leadership to stay focused on growth.
