Spain is a member of the European Union and the euro area. The sociedad de responsabilidad limitada (SL) is the standard private limited company and is registered in the Mercantile Registry after a notarial public deed. Under the Capital Companies Law as amended by Law 18/2022, the minimum share capital of an SL is EUR 1.
