Re: Employing in Spain
Commercial property is cheaper to lease in the UK than in Spain, in the UK many areas have a free first year on business rates plus a business can often open its doors the same day they get the keys instead of waiting weeks if not months in Spain for architects plans etc to be approved .
Employee`s in Spain cost the employer much more , NI is phenomenally high Spain where as many small business`s are exempt for the first year in the UK, employees in the UK are often entitled to tax credits which can boost wages by over £1000 per month so working is a worthwhile proposition .
The bottom line is the UK promotes and supports small to medium business`s where as Spain obstructs them and now it is really starting to pay the price.

Re: Employing in Spain
You might note the ratings of various countries in terms of ease of doing business. The lower the score, the better the business environment.
http://data.worldbank.org/indicator/...first&sort=asc
Spain ranks 45, while the UK ranks 6, the US ranks 4.
But naturally, all of this is pure bollocks. Secretly, Spain is the world #1 in all categories of any kind, and Spain's incredibly business-friendly environment explains the reasons why we have the world's most thriving economy and world's lowest unemployment.

Re: Employing in Spain
When looking for property, you may like to look for an ex estate agent property?
A quick search revealed several key ready (in spanish EA lingo = ready to move in and start trading) commercial premises to rent or buy from 60€ per week rent or 250 m2for 250,000€ respectively in SCB. You may find prices a little higher in NCB.
