Inflation is putting many professionals and SMEs in check. In Spain, a country with a population of more than 40 million inhabitants, of whom more than 3 million are self-employed, the socioeconomic instability of the last few months is drawing a truly dangerous picture, especially for the small entrepreneurs.
Businesses face complicated times. For this reason, a series of initiatives have been launched to help and encourage entrepreneurship despite these difficulties. The launch of the new record budget, completed just a few weeks ago, has meant a strong economic injection that, moreover, comes from the third phase of a digital kit which also seeks to help both the self-employed and small and medium-sized companies.
What are the advantages of this new budget for self-employed workers?
How do you collect from EconomipediaThere are many changes that are coming for the self-employed and SMEs for next year with the new budgets. The most recent measures have led to facilitating the promotion of the new self-employed who begin their activity from 2023, although there are other more favorable points that draw a pretty positive outlook for this huge group of workers who feed the national economy with their tireless activity:
Aid for new self-employed
Madrid is the one that shows the most chest on this front. Its new package of measures has put on the table the existence of a Zero Rate for the new self-employed who register in 2023. With it, it seeks to offer the full coverage of Social Security contributions in the first two years of activity of the self-employed, causing that he does not have to pay anything for them. An initiative that greatly facilitates the start of professional activity, normally marked by low turnover.
It is not the only thing that arrives, an extension of the subsidy for RETA quotas during the first two years of activity. Again, the new self-employed will have to pay a maximum of 50 euros per month during your first two years of activity. A measure already implemented in several territories, but which had been changing in recent years, forcing a higher fee to be paid.
They are solutions that come hand in hand with the new budgets, and that can be a great boost for those who start their journey as self-employed workers. Although, as we say, they are not the only ones who arrive.
Work-life balance
This proposal is more oriented to the self-employed companies and SMEs. With it, it seeks to offer economic incentives to all organizations that, in one way or another, promote initiatives aimed at teleworking. Now, that the possibility of working remotely has been more than proven as something possible and totally valid, it seeks to offer financial aid to all companies that promote this work model among their staff.
Whether purchasing new equipment, or hire staff with flexible hours or remote work, SMEs will continue to be able to enjoy financial aid that feeds their coffers and allows them to continue growing economically and professionally.
This is also something positive for the workers of these SMEs, both self-employed and employed, since it makes it easier for them to carry out their activity whenever and wherever they want, which in turn allows them to the reconciliation between professional and work life is much better.
Facilities for online businesses
El digital kit A new stage has begun that opens the doors for many more freelancers. Through this, aid is offered with which to promote the digital growth of any brand, whether corporate or personal. Financial aid that allow from improving web pages to building completely new ones, developing content strategies for social networks and even hiring staff to enhance the entire technological branch of a business.
Una solution designed for both freelancers and SMEs that does nothing more than help in that much-needed digitization process that has been experienced in recent years. Working in digital environments is essential, but also expensive, and this economic injection can open the doors to new strategies, as well as the renewal of equipment, something especially important for self-employed workers who are just starting out.
In short, the new measures that have been implemented are doing nothing more than promoting the arrival of new self-employed workers, as well as making things somewhat easier for all those who are already active. Faced with a situation as delicate as the one that is being experienced globally, with inflation that does not make things easy, These types of proposals are an oxygen balloon.
