INFO offers 700 plots of land and industrial premises

The free Info service includes individual consultancy for firms in the Region of Murcia

The “Encuentra tu Sitio” service offered by the Instituto de Fomento (Info) in the Region of Murcia contains a listing of over 700 plots of land and industrial premises which are available for sale and rental, as well as giving individual advice to businesses on the buildings and equipment they need.

The online search facility provides location options in 32 of the Region’s municipalities, enabling potential users to view the properties from their homes and offices, with Info director Reyes Samper reporting that around a hundred enquiries have been dealt with over the last few months and that the personal service makes it an easy and friendly tool. Its usefulness is increased still further by SALIN, a geo-portal giving exact location details and plans and which forms part of the “Municipio Emprendedor" project.

The service is free of charge for those who use it, and is also extended to foreign investors in Murcia: businesses from abroad also receive help in negotiating the minefield of Spanish bureaucracy and paperwork when coming to the Region of Murcia.

This assistance with paperwork is one of the most widely appreciated services offered by Info, making setting up a business in Murcia far easier, and in relation to the “Encuentra tu sitio” it is essential in ensuring efficiency. Those who decide on a business location are supplied with a “route map” guiding them through all the paperwork, so that they are fully aware of the steps they have to take and what is needed in order to make the process run as smoothly as possible.

An average of 5,000 properties per month are viewed on the Encuentra tu Sitio webpage.
