For company directors, shareholders & dividend-income buyers

A director's income is more than a payslip.

If you own or run a company, your real income rarely looks like a single salary line. Dividends, retained profits, director's loans and shareholder distributions all matter — but a bank in Spain needs them presented in a way it knows how to assess.

How this actually works

The gap between what you earn and what a bank sees.

Company directors often have significant wealth and strong cash flow — but the declared income on their tax return tells a different story. We bridge that gap: presenting the full picture of your financial position in a format that makes sense to a Spanish underwriter.

What is different for you

Four things that catch company directors out.

Salary vs dividends

You choose how to pay yourself — but a bank has its own rules.

Many directors take a modest salary and top up with dividends. A bank in Spain may count both, only salary, or apply its own formula. We know which banks treat dividend income favourably and how to present the split so it works in your favour.

Who this is for

Directors paying themselves salary plus dividends
Shareholders receiving only dividend distributions
Buyers whose dividend income exceeds their salary
Directors of multiple companies with split income

Retained profits

The money is in the company — but a bank wants to see it in your hands.

Retained earnings and undistributed profits demonstrate financial strength, but they are not personal income until distributed. We present retained profits as context — evidence of capacity — alongside the income you actually draw.

Who this is for

Buyers with significant retained profits in their company
Directors who reinvest rather than distribute
Buyers whose company is asset-rich but salary is modest
Buyers who have been told they do not earn enough

Corporate structures

Ltd, GmbH, BV, SARL — each one reads differently to a Spanish bank.

A bank in Spain is not set up to read UK Companies House filings, Dutch KvK extracts or German Handelsregister entries by default. We translate the structure, the ownership chain and the income flow into a format the bank is used to seeing.

Who this is for

Directors of UK limited companies
Owners of EU corporate vehicles (GmbH, BV, SARL)
Buyers with holding company structures
Buyers whose income passes through more than one entity

Multiple income streams

Consulting fees, rental income, portfolio dividends — all from different places.

Directors often have income from several sources across jurisdictions. We consolidate the picture: what counts as stable, what a bank can verify, and how to present the total in a way that does not raise more questions than it answers.

Who this is for

Buyers with income from multiple companies or roles
Buyers with rental income alongside director's pay
Portfolio investors with dividend income from listed shares
Buyers with cross-border income from different jurisdictions
