Frequently asked questions

How do I check a business in Spain?

Look it up in the Registro Mercantil and your regional registry of installers. Ask for the company’s CIF/NIF and check it.

Should I pay upfront?

Pay a reasonable deposit at most, against a written quote, and keep invoices. Never pay the full amount before work starts.
