They were coming over on holiday and wanted to combine business with pleasure.

We found them two options, both trading, one with a cafe combined.

They were able to view both businesses for sale and see them in operation during their stay. We suggested just taking a couple of days to watch each business during it’s trading hours and a few days further researching the area with our assistance.

They decided that the one with the attached cafe was the one for them, we negotiated an offer while they were here and a deposit was paid.

They returned to the UK and within a month they were back in Mallorca with their daughter and son in law who are now running the cafe part of the business with them.

A great success story, great family and decent fish and chips as well!

The businesses association publicised its findings after interviews with around 50 of its members. It pointed out that another factor responsible for the downturn in these figures is that the all-inclusive hotel requires the clients to pay for lodging, food and drink in advance. This leaves them with little money to spend at the other restaurants of the island. It is reported that Soller is one of the worst affected regions this season.

PIMEM, the business association of Majorca said that spending lever of the customers is considerably low. Cafés, Bars and restaurants at S’Arenal, Can Pastilla and Cala Ratjada reported serious decline in the business. At Porto Cristo in Manacor district, the association has blamed the “advance” payment of the all-inclusive hotel offer for low trade conditions.

In the capital Palma, the situation is different. People come here to sight-see in spite of bad weather and hence, the tables are filled but the spokespersons of the restaurant industry say that the levels at which the customers are ready to spend have fallen by about twenty percent.

After the meeting, ministry resources said that in spite of bad economic conditions all over the world, the tourism industry of Spain is doing well. They said that, in general, the number of people visiting Spain had remained stable during the last 7 months showing a slight decline of 0.2%. The ministry assumed that the Spanish tourism industry had been very resilient despite the unfavourable conditions. A research conducted by the National Institute of Statistics indicated that in July, overnight stays by foreign visitors all over the country had increased by 2.9 percent. The research also showed that The Balearics had the highest hotel occupation for July with it being 86.95 % of the total capacity.

In July, 9’176’866 visitors stayed overnights in the Balearics’ hotels – 1,388,557 foreign visitors and 234,233 Spaniards. However, the hotel prices have increased the most in Aragon and Balearics, when compared to last year.

The government Spain is planning to launch its Tourism Overhaul Plan for the year 2020. This will include renovating old and established tourist destinations that are wearing down. This will also be advantageous to the different sectors of industry, other than tourism.

During our survey of business owners in Majorca we found that it was not really the number of tourists that were down it was the spend per head. Mainly due to the UK credit crunch and also to the exchange rate.
It is still to be said that good businesses although experiencing this down turn have done so to a lesser extent.
What has also happened is that there is forecast an increase in the amount of businesses for sale in Mallorca before the end of the season, making this a buyers market and one where you need Target Mallorca to ensure you get the best deal for your money.

Jose Fernandez Vaquez was on board that flight which contained 172 passengers. Antonio Garcia Luna, 38, was the captain. He was born in Madrid and later moved to Palma Majorca. His co-pilot was Francisco Javier Mulet, 32, born in Palma. His family owns of one of oldest businesses in Palma – La Pajerita.

The accident reports show that the pilot and the copilot, both had broken arms and investigation officers suspect that they struggled to lift the plane’s nose and held it in air.

Yesterday, Francesc Antich, the Balearic President, paid tribute to those who passed away in the accident and assured maximum help to their families. Ramon Socias, the government delegate to Balearics, and other local politicians also expressed similar sentiments.

Many local business owners have expressed their sorrow at the loss to two well known families.

If you have older children already in GCSE, you may choose one from the many private British schools here that use the very same syllabus used in the UK or choose to integrate them into a Spanish school.

Importantly, the levels of passing and entrance to university are above the national UK average.

LANGUAGE
Although Spanish is widely spoken in Mallorca the national language is Mallorquin, a dialect of Catalan and is not very similar to Castellano Spanish which is the main language of Mainland Spain. However, Spanish is understood by everyone so if you have been practising your Uno, Dos, Tres and Cerveza por favor, don’t worry it will be understood.

The majority of your suppliers and, in fact, most people involved in the tourist side of business will speak English to some degree.

It really is worth learning some Spanish, its appreciated by the locals. Normally a local school will hold Spanish lessons for English speaking residents.

Here we have listed a few things that may help with your new life and business in Mallorca.

SOCIAL SECURITY SYSTEM
It is mandatory for everyone owning a business in Mallorca to contribute to the Social Security system. As a self employed business owner (Autonomo) the approximate cost is 240 Euros per month.

If you employ staff on contracts then you will also be responsible for their Social Security payments as well. The amount varies depending on the type of contract they are on. This will be handled by your Gestoria.

HEALTH SERVICES
The Spanish National Health Service is very good and is free for foreign residents, the business owners and to their families who pay into the social security system.

There are also many private health care schemes, as in the UK, and the cost of these varies according to age.

Pharmacies here in Mallorca tend to be used more than the Doctor’s, there is no prescription charge and you pay for medication as you need it. The cost is minimal compared to charges in the UK. Most prescription drugs in the UK are available over the counter from a pharmacy in Mallorca.

Dentists in Majorca are always private but the cost of the treatment is normally a lot cheaper than the UK. Most Dentists have the most modern treatments available and can offer dental payment plans.

Opticians again are all private but the cost of glasses and contact lenses is a fraction of the cost of the same style in the UK. The testing equipment is normally more advanced than the UK High Street opticians.
