I am looking in to opening a small massage business on the beach in Spain. I understand i need a licence from the local town hall? do i need to go there my self or can it be done over the phone as i am currently studying in england. how long does the process of the licence take? are there any other permits or licences apart from insurance that i need or will th town hall sort all that out?

does the business name need to be registered?

is spanish essential, i am learning however i do not feel confident enough to make the phone call!

thanks for your help
