What ZEC MANAGEMENT CONSULTING SL does

ZEC MANAGEMENT CONSULTING SL (operating as ZEC Consulting) is a private limited company (Sociedad Limitada Unipersonal) headquartered in Puerto de la Cruz, Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain, providing integrated professional advisory services to SMEs, ZEC (Canary Islands Special Zone) companies, and foreign clients operating in or entering the Spanish market. The firm was founded in 2001 and operates with a small multidisciplinary team of approximately 15 employees led by partner Ángel Hernández Hernández, supported by department heads across legal, labor, and administration functions.

The company's service portfolio spans 15 distinct offerings organized into four practice areas: advisory (accounting, tax, labor), consultancy (financial, real estate, legal, holiday housing), audit and expert reporting, and ancillary services (administrative management, data protection, grants, translation). Its flagship specialization is advisory for the Canary Islands Special Zone (ZEC), a low-tax regime offering a 4% corporate tax rate; the firm claims a 100% success rate on ZEC company status applications submitted. The firm holds UNE-EN ISO 9001:2015 certification covering its core advisory functions and has completed formal GDPR adaptation. Service delivery is trilingual (Spanish, German, English), positioning the firm as a bridge for German-speaking and other international clients seeking Canary Islands or Spanish incorporation and tax structuring.

ZEC Consulting generates revenue through project-based professional service fees, retainer arrangements, and ongoing advisory engagements, with pricing determined per engagement scope rather than through published fee schedules. Distribution is direct via its website, phone, email, and in-person consultations, supplemented by referrals through memberships in professional associations (AEDAF, CAFTENERIFE, COETE, ICATF, COTIME) and the government's Kit Digital program. The firm operates no proprietary technology platform; services are delivered through traditional consulting methodologies executed by credentialed professionals.
