Due to Brexit, I had to move to Spain in order to continue during successful my business.
It was very complicated to move my company from UK to Spain. Although it is long process, they knew very well how to handle the process during each step. They drafted an exception business plan for me. I highly recommend Marfour team for self-employed visa application and set up a company in Spain. Thank you very much for making the process easier and simple.
