A service consisting of business advice and administrative procedures

Madrid Emprende takes part, together with other bodies, in the One Stop Corporate Shop (VUE). The aim of this service is to support the creation of business and professional activities by providing integrated advice and proceedings services.

The Madrid VUE offers information, advice and processing in each of the procedures necessary for setting up a new business idea, all done in one physical place. In this way, the average time it takes to set up a trading company is a maximum of three weeks and for a sole trader 48 to 72 hours. This is provided that there are no specific stages holding up the process.The City of Madrid Council collaborates in this simplified administrative program through its Economic Development Agency ¿Madrid Emprende¿ with the General State Administration, the Madrid Region and the capital¿s Chamber of Commerce and Industry. The specific role of Madrid Emprende is to offer information and advice, as well as registering the application for town-planning licences.

The basic requirements to start proceedings in the in the VUE are to carry out stages with at least two Administrations and to not be represented by a managing organisation, while there are no restrictions in order to receive advice. It is, in any case, essential to book an appointment beforehand. The way this works is based on three successive areas of assistance to the entrepreneur (by phone, in person or on-line) and a co-ordinated response process according to the various needs presented.
