Hola Fellow Entrepreneurs!

I guess you are all aware, YourMarbella.com is a relatively new venture, and is just 4 months in to existence. Setting up a business anywhere can be expensive, costly and daunting even if done in your home country in your own first language, so going through the process in another country is certainly going to be a steep learning curve for even the most experieenced entrepreneur.

I am sure we all agree that once your business is established and you dedicate time, money and resource to the cause, the Costa Del Sol is a great place to work and the rewards are there, but I would like to take a step back and discuss the tips, tricks, highs and lows that fellow business owners on the Costa have seen along the way.

Two things that spring to mind immediately from our experience is the relatively high cost of setting up an SL compared to setting up a LTD company in the UK, plus the difficulty in finding dedicated employees who are in the area for the long stay rather than just the summer season.

If there are any members who are at the early stages of setting up a business and have a specific question, please post here as we have many business owners who regularly use YourMarbella.com and I am sure they will be willing to share their wisdom!

I look forward to an interesting thread!

Regards

Christian
