Girona has a new Reempresa attention point after Girona City Council rejoined the territorial network promoted in the province with support from the Diputació de Girona, the provincial council. For local business owners, shopkeepers and would-be buyers, that means access in the city to specialist advice on selling a business that is still operating or taking over one without starting from zero.

The service is presented by Girona City Council and Reempresa as a way to bring business transfer support closer to Girona's business community and entrepreneurs. The move reinstates Girona within a wider provincial network already operating in collaboration with the Diputació.

What the new Girona service offers to sellers and buyers

Reempresa is a business transfer service focused on matching people who want to pass on a functioning company with people who want to acquire and continue it. In practice, that can help avoid closures when an owner retires or steps away, while giving a buyer an existing activity, client base or premises instead of launching a new venture from scratch.

  • Advice for owners who want to sell a business that is already operating
  • Support for entrepreneurs seeking to buy and continue an existing business
  • Local access to the service through Girona City Council
  • Integration into the provincial Reempresa network backed by the Diputació de Girona
"Aquest nou punt d'atenció permetrà apropar encara més el servei a les empreses i persones emprenedores de la ciutat."

That statement, published by Reempresa, says the Girona point is intended to make the service more accessible to businesses and entrepreneurs in the city.

Why this matters for Girona's local economy

The immediate effect for Girona residents and business owners is practical. A local advice point can make it easier to arrange appointments, get guidance through the transfer process and explore alternatives to closure when a business owner wants to exit.

According to the Diputació de Girona, its work with Reempresa helped avoid the closure of 440 businesses in the province over the last decade. That provincial figure does not mean the same outcome for every case in Girona city, but it shows the programme's role in maintaining business continuity across the area.

For readers unfamiliar with the institutions, the Diputació de Girona is the provincial authority that supports local councils and economic development projects across the Girona area. Reempresa is the business transfer programme operating with public and private institutional support.

How residents and entrepreneurs can use it

People interested in buying or transferring a business in Girona can contact the municipal Reempresa service through the official council channel. The city council has also used talks and public information sessions to explain how the programme works.

  • Business owners can seek advice on transferring an active company
  • Prospective buyers can ask about available opportunities and process steps
  • Residents can check official city information through the council's commerce pages
