Start me up
BarcelonaNETactiva
Barcelona NETactiva says that it is (deep breath) "a portal
of contents and on-line services for entrepreneurs, who host a virtual
community of businesses who can interact between them with the objective
of doing collaborative networks for cooperation and innovation".
You know sweet FA about how to set up a business, this could be
your site. It starts with a test of your potential as an entrepreneur
(we'll skip over the results we got) and goes into such things as
what legal forms your business can take, what bureaucratic hoops
you need to jump through in order to get it off the ground, and
so on. Neat!
•We liked "Empresario individual, Capital mínimo
(none)"...? That sounds like me!
•Not so hot "Responsibilidades, Ilimitada..." Oh,
that doesn't sound so good!

Stock Exchange
The Barcelona Stock Exchange site has the sort of extensive financial
and market information you would expect, I suppose. You're interested?
Go check it out. You're not? Me neither.

•Not so hot ... but you can't search it and have to would
have to plough through 26 pages to get to "zero-rated"
