Re: Progress being made?
Thanks to everyone for their best wishes! 
It's not a place that will serve food&drink - but I'll keep the odd bottle of Ribera del Duero in the back so if anyone visits me in Madrid there will always be a glass to share...assuming it all goes ahead, a lot of water to pass under the bridge before then...

Many long established Spanish companies are still going down like flies, up 22.5% on last year, and that was bad enough. The figure of over 5,000 companies for the first 6 months is that highest since records began in 2004.

Re: Progress being made?
I shouldn't complain - if all goes well I'm taking over a business in Madrid for a fraction of what I would have to pay in the UK. The goods sell for a higher price there than in a UK equivalent, too. Of course there does need to be adequate research wherever you choose to invest - the business I'm hoping to buy would really struggle 6-8 months of the year on the Costa. But I've monitored the business in Madrid - and also its competitors, as I'm well aware an unscrupluous owner could have bribed pretend customers (although I'm confident it hasn't happened in this case as competitors elsewhere in the city are doing well).
hope you won't forget BE.
