Specialist advice on ENISA certification for startups, from assessing requirements to preparation and support throughout the certification process.

Inicio - Servicios - ENISA certification

ENISA certification for startups has become essential for innovative companies seeking access to the benefits provided by Spain's Startup Law. Obtaining this certification means officially demonstrating startup status, recognition that can facilitate access to tax advantages, incentives for attracting talent and specific measures supporting business growth.

The certification process, however, requires the company to demonstrate compliance with requirements related to innovation, scalability, the age of the company and other criteria provided in current regulations. Proper preparation of the documentation and correct submission of the application are fundamental to increasing the likelihood of success.

At UR Global, we help startups and innovative companies analyze their situation, verify compliance with the requirements and prepare the entire application process. Our team combines legal, tax and financial expertise to provide a comprehensive view that makes the most of the opportunities offered by certification.

Spain’s Startup Law has given a major boost to the entrepreneurial ecosystem. Under this framework, ENISA certification has become essential for many companies wishing to access the law’s benefits.

Obtaining it involves more than submitting an application. The company must prove that its project is innovative and scalable and meet specific requirements. Specialist advice can make the difference between a smooth process and one full of obstacles.

What does this service include?

The ENISA certification service starts with a preliminary company assessment based on the requirements of the Startup Law, including age, business model, innovation, scalability and corporate structure.

Once viability is confirmed, we help prepare all financial, corporate and strategic documentation and build the arguments demonstrating innovation and growth potential.

We monitor the certification process and assist with any requests for clarification or additional information.

Methodology

We begin with a diagnostic review of the startup and verify compliance with ENISA criteria. This step identifies improvements to be made prior to filing and minimises processing risks.

We then work with management to collect and structure the required information, with particular attention to the business model, innovation and growth capacity, factors that generally carry significant weight in the evaluation.

Finally, we support the company throughout the procedure until the decision is issued, maintaining close communication and resolving any issues.

Who is this service for?

This service is for startups seeking official recognition as a startup and access to the benefits of the Startup Law.

It is especially useful for innovative early-stage companies that want to confirm eligibility before filing, and for founders, investors and management teams seeking legal certainty and specialist support.

Complementary services

ENISA certification is often combined with other services that help consolidate the growth of the company. These include startup tax planning, external financial management, financial models for investment rounds, corporate legal advice and partners’ agreements.

For internationally focused companies, certification should be coordinated with an expansion, corporate structure and tax optimisation strategy so future growth rests on solid foundations.
