Re: mail forwarding call taking expat call centre
In Spanish they call these 'centro(s) de negocio(s)' and/or 'business centre', a quick google turned up at least 5 different ones in Alicante, so it would be a case of seeing which ones offer what you need for the price you're happy to pay.

So an expat call centre etc. I guess.

If you can wait until it rolls out, Google Voice sounds like the answer - though you might have to change the question a bit.

Hi All, i thought i would chip in as Amanda asked this on my behalf really.
Yes, we are initially targeting expats, mainly english, and would need a mail forwarding address and a "virtual" phone number. We use a similar service here in the UK and after the set up, they answer the call in your company name (comes up on their screen), take a message and then email you with the client details.
You pay per call answered. As we work from home, and will continue to do so in spain, i am not gonna splash our home address across the internet! Theres no rush as i dont plan to be in business in Spain until probably January and i'm busy enough with the english business.
Looked at the Alicante centro(s) de negocio(s), looks VERY good and very professional but if its Spanish only it wont be much good (apart from maybe a forwarding address) as the Spaniards dont buy what we sell usually.
but anyway, thanks again for the info posted.

I have a contact in Valencia who may be able to help you on this. He's Spanish but speaks good English. You can pm me if interested and I'll forward onto him. Obviously it depends on a) If Valencia is good as a location for you b) if you can re-imburse him adequately - he has work already but he's always on the lookout for additional projects.
Good luck
EDIT: Apologies - I misread. You're looking for a "Business Centre" that caters for English as well as Spanish speakers? As lynnxa says, this could be a good business opportunity. I suspect if anywhere that they would exist already in Gibraltar?

In Barcelona the business centres I know of can all provide service in English, so you should ask them. It's certainly not the Queen's English, but if your clients are in Spain it shouldn't be much of a problem.

Re: mail forwarding call taking expat call centre
cheers for the info and sorry for my bad grasp of Spanish! Amanda is the Espanol(a?!) smarty braggas, not me, i'm still learning and it took me 39 years to master English, so................
anyway, yes, possibly a good busienss idea. I have LOTS of ideas with regards business, job creation, etc, but i guess all has been on hold wilst we wait to move over to Spain finally (2 weeks).
who knows, the word is certainly my lobster () or oyster too

What about a virtual assistant, I would certainly be happy to take calls and email you details and having worked in sales for many years would enjoy doing this.
