The 2025 Self-Employment Grants in Canary Islands are Now Open!

If you’re a digital nomad or a professional considering starting a business in the Canary Islands, this is your chance to benefit from the region’s self-employment grants! The 2025 grants have officially opened, offering financial support to those starting their own businesses or becoming self-employed in the Canary Islands.

Key Information to Keep in Mind:

• Who Can Apply? These grants are available for individuals who are currently unemployed and registered as job seekers with the Canary Islands Employment Service (SCE). You must also have registered as an autonomous worker (RETA) or with the appropriate professional mutuality. The grants are designed to support those who start their business and actively engage in the work personally and directly.

  
  

• Grant Amount The amount of the subsidy can reach up to €6,500, depending on factors like your age, whether you have a disability, or if you’re working in rural areas with fewer than 5,000 inhabitants.

  
  

• Supporting Documents In order to apply, you’ll need to submit a viability plan for your business, which must be validated by an authorized entity. This ensures you’re well-prepared and have a clear vision for your business’s success.

  
  

• Additional Assistance Aside from the main grants, financial support is also available to reduce interest on loans taken for business investments. Additionally, there’s a subsidy for hiring external professional services that can help you improve your business setup and management.
