What is the equivalent of a CRB check in Spanish? Thanks

I have the feeling this may be a sensitive subject- but here goes! What is the real low-down on running a bar on the Costa Blanca? We are planning on moving down and doing this this year. After a recent trip it seemed like nearly every other bar was up for sale, and after reading that failure rates in some areas are 90%, we would welcome some opinions from those with first hand experience. Thanks in advance for any constructive advice you may have. topdog

Does anyone know of my long lost mate Dave Legget or Rod and Kim Claxton. Dave lived in Southampton UK as did Rod and Kim and as I now live in France I have lost numbers and addresses so have no idea where to start looking. If anyone knows of these people or anyone that lived in West End Southampton that used the Sportsman pub please help. Many thanks Take care, Kadgie

Have read in a few places now that as a self-employed person (ie running your own business) in Spain social security payments start at 255euros per month. I can also remember reading some where you set your own level of payments on the premise that the more you pay the more you get back. Is this true? Also as a married couple if one person pays is the other covered? Many thanks in advance for any advice given. topdog

Hello all, I'm looking to come to the Quesada area around June or July.  I curently only speak english but am in the process of learning Spanish.  When I get to Spain I am looking to setup business (internet based) and really need to find as much information on as many things as possible. The info i'm looking for is: Starting a business in Spain (It will be an internet based business, however the office inc. shipping, handeling, development etc will be based in Spain). Busienss taxes etc. Employment laws and issues part time employment. If someone is living in Spain but working for and being paid by a UK company what are the issues? who does the income tax goto? Shipping costs from the UK to Spain (products from supplier). Shipping costs (recorded style delivery within mainland and the spanish islands). Any shipping issues. Info on small storage lockup for warehouse. Web hosting (co location) - leased lines for inhouse servers. Broadband connections. Any other info you think may be of some help.

Hi, May sell up in France and move to Costa Blanca, is there plenty of work over there?

We are visiting the Costa Blanca in February with the intention of buying either a park home or mobile home preferably on the coast or no more than 30 minutes drive from the coast. Can anyone provide us with details of mobile home or park home sites in the Costa Blanca area that we can view when we visit Spain. Any details you can provide would be really helpful. Many Thanks
