Work and Financial Support Services in Spain

You thought moving would be the hard part.

But now you’re trying to earn a living in a system you don’t understand. The tax office speaks fast. The bank asks for documents you’ve never heard of. You’re handed a payslip that might as well be in code.

We help you make sense of it all — and stay on the right side of the rules.

Registering as Autónomo (Self-Employed)

Thinking of working for yourself in Spain? Then you’ll need to register as autónomo — the Spanish word for self-employed.

It sounds easy, but the reality isn’t. You’ll need:

  • A social security number
  • A Spanish bank account
  • Proof of address
  • Tax registration at the local hacienda
  • And the right paperwork filed on time, or you’ll get fined.

We handle the whole process. Fast, legal, and in plain English. So you can start working without digging through red tape.

Help Applying for Unemployment or Benefits

If you’ve worked in Spain and lost your job, you might be entitled to paro — Spanish unemployment benefit.

But the forms are long. The system is strict. And getting an appointment with SEPE (Spain’s job centre) can take weeks.

We check what you qualify for, help you apply, and make sure you’ve got the documents ready. If you’re not eligible for paro, we’ll look at other support options — including family help or regional grants.

Opening a Spanish Bank Account

You’ll need a local account to get paid, set up direct debits, and sort your taxes. But opening one isn’t always simple — especially if you don’t have fluent Spanish.

We help you:

  • Choose the right bank (based on fees, services, and availability)
  • Book the appointment
  • Understand what documents to bring
  • Set up online banking or mobile apps

Whether you’re working, retired, or in between, we’ll get your account open and working.

Setting Up Direct Debits for Bills and Utilities

Spanish companies love direct debits. From your rent to your electricity, most services won’t accept anything else.

But getting them set up means:

  • Talking to your bank
  • Matching your NIE and bank details
  • Sending proof to the supplier — in the format they want

We help you set it all up. So your bills are paid on time, and your water, power, or phone don’t suddenly stop.

Help Understanding Spanish Payslips, Contracts, and Employment Rights

You’ve got a job. Now you’re staring at a payslip filled with codes, deductions, and legal jargon.

We break it down for you.

  • What’s being deducted
  • What’s going into your pension
  • Whether your contract is permanent or temporary
  • What your rights are around holiday, sick pay, and hours

We also help you spot red flags  like missing contributions or clauses that don’t match what you agreed.

Don’t Guess Your Way Through Spanish Work Rules

The Spanish system is strict. The rules are real. And the penalties can land before you know what’s gone wrong.

We help you start a business, get paid, and stay legal — without sleepless nights or surprise fines.
