Hola Aleida, before we get into a DYI solution for you and your company, I think you’re in a great position to take advantage of Strong Abogados’ services. One of the owners is American - great people. They specialize in helping companies start up in Spain and will definitely help you with the immigration issues. They live in Barcelona and would have some good insight into where to live in Barcelona for you as well.

Hi Aleida, Since you and your spouse read and understand Spanish, unlike many of the users on this site, you could also consult the database of legal consultations on migrar.org.  You can search by topics: Residencia, Trabajo, etc.

The best thing is that it is FREE..  Gratis…

😊

Suerte con todo…
