Spain Entrepreneur Visa Business Plan: Preparation and Review
We prepare and review your Spain entrepreneur visa business plan for ENISA’s assessment of your project. Our work brings together the business proposal, financial forecasts and supporting evidence for your entrepreneur residence application in Spain.
At Pérez Parras Economists & Lawyers, we help founders who need a new plan and those who already have a draft. Before you engage us, we agree what needs to be developed, what requires review and which information is still missing.
The aim is to explain a real business clearly, with figures you can support and a defined scope of work. Adding more pages is not an end in itself.

Spain entrepreneur visa business plan: preparation or review
Preparing a new business plan for ENISA
We start with your proposed activity, experience and available information. From there, we identify the areas that need development and work on the project description, market analysis and financial forecasts.
Your involvement is essential when preparing a business plan for entrepreneur residence. You know your product, commercial decisions and available resources. Our role is to organise that information, check its consistency and give it an appropriate legal and financial framework.
For a practical starting point, read our guide to preparing an ENISA business plan, with a suggested structure, financial examples and supporting evidence.
Reviewing an existing business plan
You may already have a plan drafted by you, your team or another adviser. If so, there may be no need to start again.
A review can reveal conflicting information, unexplained assumptions, outdated figures or sections that need stronger evidence. We prioritise our comments so you can distinguish essential corrections from presentation improvements and missing documents.
A review does not automatically mean rewriting the whole document. Your quote will specify whether the work covers comments, changes to particular sections or a more extensive rewrite.
What your Spain entrepreneur visa business plan engagement includes
Our proposal identifies the work you are commissioning and the documents you will receive. Depending on the option and scope agreed, these may include:
| Agreed work | Deliverable specified in your quote |
|---|---|
| Business plan preparation | A structured business proposal covering the sections included in the engagement. |
| Review of a draft | Prioritised comments and, where agreed, corrections or rewritten sections. |
| Financial analysis | New or revised forecasts, with explanations of their assumptions and funding needs. |
| Document coordination | A list of supporting documents and consistency checks across the plan, figures and application information. |
Before work begins, we agree the formats, included revisions and information you must provide. Uploading documents to ENISA and submitting an application to the UGE are included only where the engagement expressly says so.
How the business plan supports your residence application
A presentation may attract interest. However, an application must allow the authorities to assess the activity and the applicant’s actual involvement.
Article 70 of Law 14/2013 of 27 September, on support for entrepreneurs and their internationalisation, requires an innovative activity and/or one of special economic interest to Spain, supported by a favourable ENISA report. The assessment considers the applicant’s profile, business plan and the project’s contribution.
You can read the entrepreneur project rules in Spain’s Official State Gazette and our guide to the ENISA report for entrepreneur residence.
Before developing the plan, we also assess whether this is a route worth exploring for your activity. A profitable business does not necessarily qualify. The Spain entrepreneur visa requirements concern both the project and the person applying.
How we develop your Spain entrepreneur visa business plan
Assessing the project and your role
First, we examine your proposed activity, its current stage and the responsibilities you will take on in Spain. We also identify areas where further information is needed.
If several partners are involved, we clarify their roles and relationship with the business. This avoids a generic plan that describes a company without explaining each applicant’s involvement.
Market and customers in your business plan
We work on your customer profile, competitors, pricing and revenue model. Market statistics are useful when they relate to the business you actually intend to develop.
In particular, we distinguish the wider market you hope to serve from the customers you can reach with your resources. We also check that your sales strategy fits the project timetable.
Financial forecasts and funding in your ENISA business plan
Our financial analysis connects forecast sales with costs, initial investment and cash flow needs. Each material figure should have a clear basis, such as prices, sales volumes, staffing, suppliers or development stages.
We distinguish available funds from committed funding and finance that has yet to be secured. We also separate the business budget from the resources you need for your personal and family living costs.
Depending on the agreed scope, we prepare or review forecasts and assess different sales or cost scenarios. You should be able to explain the figures in your Spain entrepreneur visa business plan, as well as present them in a table.
Explaining innovation and economic interest
We identify how to present the project’s features and which documents could support them. Depending on the case, useful evidence may include product demonstrations, technical information, agreements, quotes or commercial data.
We also work on your planned operations in Spain and the economic contribution you intend to demonstrate. If the plan includes hiring, partnerships or technology development, its timetable, costs and evidence should support those forecasts.
A sales discussion is not a completed sale, and expected investment is not money already received. Likewise, we do not claim innovation that the project does not have. The plan must reflect its real position and distinguish progress already made from future expectations.
Keeping the business plan, forms and supporting documents consistent
The quality of the plan also depends on how well it matches the rest of the application. We check names, ownership interests, responsibilities, dates and amounts.
The UGE’s official instructions for entrepreneurs provide for business information to be supplied through ENISA’s channel. Uploading that information is a separate step from the UGE requesting ENISA’s report.
Where document coordination is part of the engagement, we check that the forms and supporting documents use information consistent with the plan. Preparing a PDF alone does not complete the portal or submit a residence application.
This review connects the business plan with your entrepreneur residence application documents. We check how the business evidence, personal funds and family documents fit together.
A practical example of a consistency review
This is a hypothetical example, not an actual client case. A plan schedules a product launch for July but forecasts sales from January. It also proposes three new hires while budgeting for only one. The review should flag both issues and align the assumptions, costs and timetable with the founder.
This illustrates the connection we check between the written proposal and its figures. Correcting these issues cannot guarantee a favourable report. It does, however, help the document explain consistently what the business intends to do.

What happens during the engagement
First, we understand your circumstances. You explain the project, where you live, its current stage and whether you already have a draft. We identify the questions that need assessment before moving forward.
Next, we define the scope. We set out the work, fees and a timetable that depends on receiving the necessary information. Business plan preparation and immigration procedures are identified separately.
We then develop or review the content. We discuss your business decisions and financial assumptions with you. Together, we record outstanding questions so they can be resolved.
Finally, we review the documents together. We check that the business description, forecasts and supporting evidence are consistent. Where the engagement includes a residence application, we coordinate the two areas of work.
Legal and financial analysis in one service
The founder’s background, business description and forecasts should work together. Our approach connects them so that the stated roles, resources and timetable are compatible.
You can learn about the qualifications and practice areas of our team of lawyers and economists. From Málaga and Nerja, we advise founders in Spain and abroad. Your proposal specifies the analysis included in your case. ENISA remains responsible for the official assessment.
What we need to get started
For an initial enquiry, a brief description of the activity and your current circumstances is enough. Please also tell us whether you need a new plan or a review of an existing document.
To carry out the work, we will normally need details of your experience and role, product or service, business stage, customers and competitors. We will also need to understand the planned investment and sources of funding. If you already have a company, prototype, contracts or an earlier plan, we will review the relevant documents.
You do not need to present every answer as final. It is better to identify an unresolved decision than to build forecasts on a figure you cannot yet confirm.
Coordinating entrepreneur residence and relocation tax planning
Your business plan is one part of the residence application. Preparing it does not replace the other requirements or amount to obtaining a permit.
Our entrepreneur residence service in Spain can cover a broader engagement, including the project and immigration procedures. Your quote will specify the steps included.
Tax planning also needs attention before you decide when to move. For access to the special tax regime through entrepreneurial activity, Article 113.2 of the Personal Income Tax Regulations, approved by Royal Decree 439/2007 of 30 March, requires the Article 69 residence authorisation under Law 14/2013 before relocation to Spain. For people covered by EU free movement rules, it provides for a prior ENISA report. Each situation requires individual assessment.
Our guide to entrepreneur residence and the Beckham Law before moving to Spain explains this further. You can also consult the tax rules in Spain’s Official State Gazette.
Business plan fees and preparation time
Fees depend on the project’s stage, the quality of the available material, the number of founders and the depth of financial analysis. Reviewing a complete draft involves different work from developing a plan from initial information.
For that reason, we provide a quote after learning about your case. We also distinguish our working timetable from ENISA, UGE and, where relevant, consular processing times.
Commissioning a business plan does not automatically include official fees, sworn translations, company formation or family applications. Responses to requests for further information and appeals are not automatically included either. The engagement letter identifies the work covered and any items quoted separately.
Spain entrepreneur visa business plan: frequently asked questions
Can you review a business plan written by another adviser?
Yes. We can assess the existing document and propose a defined review. Before you engage us, we distinguish between providing comments, correcting specific sections and carrying out a more extensive rewrite.
Can I use a plan prepared for a bank or ENISA funding?
It may contain useful information, but it needs review for this purpose. A funding plan is not automatically suitable for an entrepreneur residence application. The immigration file must also explain your role and why the activity fits this route.
Does your service include a favourable ENISA report?
No. We prepare or review the project documents; we do not issue ENISA’s official report. Nor do we offer our own certificate as a substitute or guarantee the outcome.
Can I commission a business plan review only?
Yes. You can engage us solely to review the document. Submitting the residence application and following the administrative process are included only where expressly agreed.
Is this a business plan for Spain’s entrepreneur visa?
That is a common way to describe this route. Our service focuses on the business plan for the entrepreneur residence authorisation. Where a consular visa is required, it is a separate part of the immigration process that must also be organised.
Do I need this plan to work as self-employed or as a digital nomad?
Do not assume that you do. This service has a specific purpose: the business documentation for entrepreneur residence. If a different route may fit your activity, first read our comparison of entrepreneur, self-employed and digital nomad routes in Spain.
Can you assist with a project based outside Málaga?
Yes. From Málaga and Nerja, we advise founders with projects throughout Spain and people who still live abroad. Where the activity requires licences or sector-specific authorisations, the assessment must take its proposed location into account.
