La Bisbal d'Empordà gains a road freight operator. The BORME of 16 October, the Official Gazette of the Companies Register, where new companies, capital changes and closures must be published by law, lists a limited company based in La Bisbal d'Empordà and share capital of 114,000 euros, the money the partners put in when founding the company. It will carry goods by road, nationally and internationally, and handle storage and distribution, including a freight agency. Its name contains that of a person and we do not publish it. On its own it accounts for three quarters of the capital of the seven newly registered firms in the comarca.
Two investment vehicles choose Palamós and Sant Feliu de Guíxols. The BORME of 15 October brings Keapachao SL in Sant Feliu de Guíxols, with 25,000 euros, to manage stakes in other companies and advise them, and Quattro Nove Costa Brava SL in Palamós, with 3,000, to buy and administer shares and stakes on its own account. Both are holding companies, each one a company whose business is holding shares or stakes in other businesses.
A garage, a gardening firm and a farm services company complete the week. The BORME of 20 October adds La Bisbal d'Empordà's Garatge Estacio SL, for vehicle repairs, and in Palafrugell a gardening business for parks, housing estates and sports grounds, which we do not name because it carries a person's name, both with 3,000 euros. The BORME of 22 October brings La Vall Treballs Agricoles SL in La Tallada d'Empordà, for agricultural services, also with 3,000, and the issue of 15 October includes Brain On My Sales SL in Forallac, for IT services, with 2 euros.
Two court-ordered sales ended on 15 October. Bidding closed on 15 October for two auctions in the comarca on the Portal de Subastas, the official website of the BOE, Spain's Official State Gazette, where courts and public bodies auction property. Both were court auctions, a public sale ordered by a court. One offered five garage spaces in Palamós, in a single file with no lots, and the other a home in Torroella de Montgrí. No edicto, the official notice of the auction, gives a floor area.

The ninth covers action plans for 2027.
