Red Tape Consultancy has been established for 10 years now and has probably one of the best reputations on the island for doing things right,

on time and at a fair price. The owner /director is a Brit who has lived in Tenerife since 1987,  speaks fluent Spanish and has local Spanish staff.

Many people who come to Tenerife don´t have a clue where to begin sorting out their legalities, and with 95% of Brits not speaking Spanish it is really difficult to get the right advice.

Many of us make the mistake of taking advice from someone we have spoken to in a bar!!!

Many of us are pushed by an estate agent to a Spanish lawyer who may do the jobs required but, boy it costs!! (typical fees for property purchase 3000 , a will 300 euros, residencia 250 euros)

Our fees for the same services are often less than half of these.

Don´t make the same costly mistakes!

At Red Tape Consultancy you can be assured you can speak to someone in your own language , Someone with many years business experience here in Tenerife, and many useful local contacts.

All types of paperwork can be organized for you, from a simple N.I.E. or residencia to setting up a limited company in Spain, Tax Returns (for residents and non residents) Company and individual accounts and all dealings with the social security authorities including work contracts, payslips and even dealing with industrial tribunerals.


Whether you a moving to Tenerife to relax, retire or reside part of the year, there will be paperwork that you are obliged to do each year,
Red Tape Consultancy can help.

At the end of the day most of us move to Tenerife for an easier life not a harder one.
