Starting a transport, ride-hailing or delivery business in Andorra
- Updated on
- La rédaction
The short answer
For transport and delivery, the regime is: a licence or authorisation specific to the activity. The decisive points are: licences and customs, the legal form (SL or own name) and the steps specific to the activity. A company created by a non-resident first goes through foreign investment authorisation.
