Why start a business?

There are several reasons why someone may decide to start a company. Here are some of the most common:

Legal Protection

By incorporating a company, a separate legal entity is created from the owners. This means that in the event the business is sued or faces debt, the owners will not be personally liable. This can help protect your personal assets.

Tax benefits

This type of dismissal occurs when an employer decides to terminate the employment contract of an employee for objective reasons that are established in labor law, such as economic, technical, organizational, or production reasons. The employer must follow a specific procedure and provide compensation to the employee in the event of an objective dismissal.

Credibility

Businesses are often seen as more credible and professional than sole proprietorships. Owning a business can help establish a strong brand and reputation in the marketplace.

Ease of obtaining financing

Businesses may be more attractive to lenders and investors than sole proprietorships. Additionally, companies can issue stocks or bonds to raise capital from investors.

Ease of transfer of ownership

Businesses can be easier to sell or transfer to others than sole proprietorships.

What do I get when I register my trademark?

Legal Protection:

The trademark registration grants the owner the exclusive right to use and market products or services under that trademark in the territory in which it has been registered, which protects against unauthorized use by third parties.

Brand identity:

The registration of the brand allows to establish a strong and recognizable brand identity in the market, which can help to differentiate the company and its products or services from the competition.

Right to sue:

The trademark owner has the right to file a lawsuit against any person or entity that uses their trademark without their consent.

Commercial value:

A trademark has commercial value and can be sold, transferred or licensed to third parties, which can provide an additional source of income for the company.

Right to use the trademark symbol:

Trademark registration allows the holder to use the ® symbol to indicate that the trademark is legally registered and protected.

FAQs

Incorporation of companies and registration of trademarks and patents

How to know if a brand name already exists?

The query must be managed through the website of the Spanish Patent and Trademark Office (OEPM), in the trademarks and trade names box, then in the trademark locator section. When it comes to a trademark at the European level, the query is made at the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO).

How much money does it cost to register a trademark?

It will depend on the number of classes requested, normally the registration price of a trademark in Spain starts at €150, unlike the registration of a trademark at a European level, where the cost starts at €850.

What is the difference between brand and trade name?

The difference is that the brand is the image, emblem, logo and/or visible sign that highlights the company. The commercial name is the word with which the commercial establishment is defined, in addition to being the identifying name that is intended to be protected.
