It is a comprehensive and complete law, which encompasses the tasks of all ministerial departments, which aims to facilitate all entrepreneurial and business activity: from the establishment of companies and their tax regime, to support financing and the need for to make the relationship between companies and AAPPs more fluid, according to La Moncloa.
We highlight some points,

- new visa regime and residence permits for highly qualified investors, entrepreneurs and professionals, and for intra-business mobility.
- The impetus for the Emprende en 3 project: "is a telematic processing system for the establishment and start-up of a business activity. It is a platform developed with the participation of the General Administration of the State, the Autonomous Communities and the Local Entities, representagiven by the Spanish Federation of Municipalities and Provinces”.
The platform allows to carry out the necessary procedures with the 3 Administrations at the same time, because the system sends the responsible declarations to the City councils.
