What the €6,200 Grant Actually Pays For

[bonk]

This grant isn’t a blank check for expansion or marketing experiments. Instead, Madrid has clearly framed it as help for essential, day-one costs: registration and notary fees, professional insurance, utilities, internet access, software, equipment, or building a basic website.

Most applicants are expected to receive around €5,600, with the full €6,200 reserved for specific situations such as long-term unemployment or starting a business in rural areas. The goal is simple — helping freelancers survive the fragile beginning, not scale prematurely.

nice to see a grant that’s about survival, not pretending everyone’s a startup founder
