To start your coffee brand in Andorra, structure fast and comply early: form a Societat Limitada (SL, €3,000 capital; SA €60,000) with prior foreign‑investment authorization if you’re non‑resident, register at the Registre de Societats, secure a registered office, and open a bank account (expect KYC: business plan, supplier contracts, source of funds). Register for IGI (4.5%) and corporate tax (10%); if annual revenue is under ~€40,000 you may use the small‑business IGI regime. Hire via CASS (≈15.5% employer, 6.5% employee). For roasting/packaging, obtain the municipal llicència d’obertura and sanitary registration with Andorra’s Food Safety Agency (ASA); implement a HACCP plan, traceability and lot coding, and ensure ventilation/fire compliance. Label in Catalan: product name, net weight, best‑before, lot, country of origin, roaster/importer name and Andorran address, storage; add grinder/brew guidance for retail. Source green beans through Spain/France importers; import using a customs broker (IGI on import applies; green often duty‑free, roasted may carry duty). For EU sales, get an EORI via your broker and define Incoterms (DAP vs DDP) to manage VAT at destination. Sell omnichannel: supply ski resorts/hotels and specialty cafés, launch a .ad site (requires local presence) or .com, and use Andorran bank merchant services or PayPal for checkout.
