Your own engineering team in Málaga — owned by you, built with us.
OwnShore is a service for Northern European tech companies that have decided their engineering footprint should be a long-term asset, not a recurring expense. We help you establish your own Spanish entity in Málaga, hire your own developers into it, and run the operational layer that makes it work. You hold the entity. We run the playbook.

What OwnShore is
A service from rindus to your Spanish subsidiary. Four parts:
Spanish entity formation
Sociedad Limitada, registered office, payroll infrastructure, social security registration, and full compliance with Spanish labour law.

Recruiting
We identify and present candidates your entity hires directly, on its own contracts.
Operational and back-office services
Office, HR administration, payroll administration, vendor management, and ongoing operational guidance.
Independence
rindus does not take equity in your entity, does not employ its workforce, and does not direct its work.

Why Málaga,
and why now
Málaga is no longer a compromise location. Google, Vodafone, Accenture, and Fujitsu run tech operations here. The universities of Málaga and Granada output thousands of engineers per year, the international community is deep and growing, and quality of life drives retention.
The economics: a 15-person engineering team in your own entity costs roughly 50% less in total employer cost than the equivalent team in Zurich — and the infrastructure is a permanent asset on your balance sheet, not a recurring vendor fee.
“If rindus runs it, do we lose control of our team?”
In the OwnShore model there is no team to hand over. Your entity hires its own developers, on its own contracts, under its own management chain. rindus is the external services provider to your entity — not a workforce supplier inside it. You have full visibility because the entity is yours and the employment relationships sit inside it.
We’ve done this before
A leading German fintech, one of Europe’s largest energy storage companies, and a German automotive data company have each established their own Spanish entity in Málaga with rindus supporting the legal and operational setup. Each entity has built its own engineering capacity, hiring directly into its own contracts.
rindus has been building software operations in Málaga for over a decade. We didn’t arrive when it became fashionable. We’ve been part of building what Málaga is today.
