Customer Reviews

Very informative and up-to-date
I was pleased with this book as it has plenty of information and the author knows a considerable amount about the red-tape that is involved. It is essential reading for anyone who is about to move and start a business.

The sort of book you need if you want to operate in Spain
I have had a small business in Spain and it went badly despite my best efforts. Very stressful and ultimately disappointing. It pays to have good advice and information so I applaud books like this that help you plan and avoid the pitfalls of others.
