In Spain, until recently opening a store or any other kind of business was quite a difficult matter, mainly due to the extreme burocracy that rules the country. However, aware of the necessity to make it much easier for entrepreneurs  to set up there store, restaurant, or whatsoever, finally things are changing. In most cases, in stead of waiting for the local authorities to approve all the technical documentation that is demanded, it now only requires a recognized technician, e.g. an architect, to sign a so-called “declaration of responsability” in order to start the new business. With this new procedure, we have been able to open a series of shoe-stores for the famous “Crocs” brand within two months from signing the rental contract for each unit!
