To stay competitive, small businesses and independent contractors need the best tools. For this reason, the Spanish Government has created the Kit Digital programme. This initiative offers financial support to small companies and autónomos (self-employed workers) so they can invest in digital tools and equipment that improve their business operations.
Kit Digital – What is it and who can apply
Kit Digital is an EU-funded grant from the NextGenerationEU fund. Kit Digital is a government grant that helps businesses with less than 50 employees access the technology needed to modernise their business and grow. The government hopes that by providing this funding small businesses will be able to adopt digital solutions to improve their efficiency.
Kit Digital is designed for freelancers, small businesses and companies with less than 50 employees. This includes autónomos, who must have been registered for at least six months before applying. Businesses that are eligible must also be current with their social security and taxes, and not be in bankruptcy. The program offers different funding amounts depending on the size of the business: freelancers and micro-businesses with fewer than 3 employees can get up to €3,000, while small and medium-small businesses with 3 to 49 employees are also eligible, with funding scaled accordingly. If you’ve already received this grant, you can apply only to expand your digital toolkit.
What Can you Do with the Money?
Kit Digital can be used in many ways to improve your digital experience, such as:
- Purchase new digital devices such as mobile phones, laptops or other essential digital gadgets.
- Create or improve your website.
- Online store setup.
- Manage your social media profiles.
- Use customer management tools.
- Improve your cybersecurity to protect data.
- Implementing electronic invoice systems
- Accessing virtual office services.
- Tools for data analysis and business intelligence.
These services are usually covered for up to a year, giving you plenty of time to implement your digital solutions.
How to Apply
Kit Digital application is simple. To begin, you will need to sign up on the Acelera Pyme official website. You’ll be asked to take a test once you have registered. This will help determine how digitally advanced your company is. You can then choose from a list of digital products that meet your requirements.
Then, you will submit your application electronically through Red.es. You’ll then choose a digital agent once you have been approved. A company authorized by the program can help you implement the solutions that you selected.
There is still plenty of time for you to take advantage of the opportunity. The deadline is October 31, 2025.
Kit Digital, a government program, can be confusing. You can turn to your Gestor or your business advisor for help. They can be of great assistance. They can assist you in preparing your application, and they will check to see if your company qualifies. You’ll be advised on the best digital tools to use for your business, and you can choose an agent who is authorised to represent you.
Having your Gestor take care of this process will save you time, reduce stress and allow you to concentrate on running your company while they manage the paperwork and following-ups.
Beware of Scams
There are unfortunately some companies and individuals that may try to take advantage businesses who apply for this program. Some may promise a quick approval in exchange for a small fee, or request personal information without reason. Always use official websites such as Acelera Pyme to make your application.
Only work with digital agents who are listed as certified on the website. Be sure to read the terms and conditions before signing any agreement. Never share sensitive information to unidentified parties.
