Starting out as self-employed often means facing costs long before income appears. From 2026, the Community of Madrid aims to ease that pressure with a new grant of up to €6,200 for people registering as freelancers for the first time.
The support is designed to reduce early-stage financial stress rather than fuel rapid growth. By helping cover unavoidable startup expenses, the scheme could be the deciding factor for many people who are hesitating to take the leap into self-employment.
