What changed
Law 7/2024 comprehensively reforms administrative procedures in the Balearic Islands, expanding the use of responsible declarations and prior notifications instead of prior licences, digitalising public services, and eliminating unnecessary formalities for citizens and businesses. The law affects numerous sectors — from opening a business to applying for public grants — significantly reducing waiting times and bureaucratic burden.
Who is affected
Citizens and businesses dealing with the Balearic regional and local administration, especially those applying for business activity licences, grants or authorisations in sectors such as commerce, tourism or services. Public servants and managers must also adapt their procedures to the new digital and streamlined requirements.
What to look out for
→ Check whether procedures in your sector that previously required a prior licence can now be started with a responsible declaration, which can significantly speed up the launch of your activity.
