Spanish SME regulatory advocacy
Overview
Business organizations in Spain, including CEOE CEPYME Cuenca and the national CEPYME, are advocating for regulatory reforms to support small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
Representatives argue that current legislation is often designed for large corporations, creating a bureaucratic burden that smaller firms cannot easily manage. Ángela de Miguel, president of CEPYME, has advocated for a ‘think small first’ principle, suggesting that regulations manageable for small businesses will inherently be manageable for multinationals.
Specific challenges cited include high taxation, labor costs, recruitment difficulties, absenteeism, and a lack of generational succession. Additionally, data regarding public procurement shows a disparity in market participation; while SMEs formalize 67.5% of contracts, they capture only 43.6% of the total awarded amount due to the administrative and operational costs required to compete. The organizations emphasize the need for regulatory stability and legal certainty to prevent further loss of micro-enterprises.
