WSI- Business For Sale in Spain

If you are interested in buying a traditional business in Spain, you must know the proper ways of doing business there. Spain has a relational culture. Buying a business in Spain means building a network of contacts in different sectors of society. To get your client to trust you right from the start it helps to provide him with references about yourself and your company from important people in Spain. Getting yourself introduced by a trusted relation of your new client is also a very good way to start the initial contact. Relations are built personally, not by telephone or e mail.

In Spain you need a large network to get things done. Remember that when people pay you a favor, some day you will have to pay it back. You cannot avoid this system of exchanging favors as the society is built on it.

Be sure that you enter a company at the right level. If you enter too low you may insult the person at a higher level who you really have to deal with. Check and double-check who the best person for you to contact is. Communication should always take place on equal levels.

For this reason, if in the course of doing business your Spanish counterpart has problems getting issues approved within his organization; ask him if it would be a good idea if your superior should speak to his superior. Many large companies in Spain are family owned. Usually those companies are very hierarchical. Many family members are employed on different levels within the organization.

Decisions are made at the top, which often means at the family dinner table. Meetings are usually held to communicate decisions already made. Only in meetings with people at the same level, business will be discussed. People seldom openly give their opinions at the meeting table. For this reason, you should try to obtain some information from the general context of the meeting and from non-verbal communication. You will be prevented from losing face in a meeting, as the general aim is to prevent loss of face of any attendees. Meetings may be loud and noisy. It is not considered impolite to interrupt someone.

Many entrepreneurs start typical traditional businesses when they start doing business in Spain—for example, bars, restaurants and tourist shops.
