Grant for hiring an employee in your Comunidad Autónoma

Legal basis and things to bear in mind

• What is included: we check the requirements, prepare the application and the forms the hired person signs, file it and follow the case until the decision. It does not include the contract or registering the employee with the Seguridad Social, which must be done before applying (except in Illes Balears, where the grant is applied for before hiring).
• Open calls verified on 5 October 2026: Andalucía, Emplea-T Lines 1 and 2 (until 31 October 2026); Aragón, hiring of a self-employed person's first employee (until 30 October 2026, contracts started by 30 September); Comunidad Foral de Navarra, first hire by a self-employed person (until 30 November 2026, contracts started by 31 October); Canarias, +UNO 52 (until 15 October 2026); Comunitat Valenciana, LABORA for priority groups (until 15 October 2026); Illes Balears, SOIB qualified people (until 30 September 2027); Comunidad de Madrid, hiring young people, and Cantabria, hiring grants of the Servicio Cántabro de Empleo (permanent). Closed: Galicia (30 September 2026) and Cataluña, TU+1 (29 July 2026).
• Amounts per full-time contract: Andalucía, 18.000 € for a self-employed person's first hire and 15.000 € for subsequent ones and those of SMEs, 2.000 € more for a woman; Aragón, from 5.500 € to 7.200 € (9.000 € for a victim of gender-based violence); Navarra, from 5.000 € to 8.500 €, plus 1.000 € for a woman (not added to the 8.500 €) and 1.000 € in rural localities of under 5.000 inhabitants (except Aranguren, Beriain, Berrioplano, Cendea de Olza, Cizur, Egüés, Galar, Valle de Elorz and Orkoien); Comunidad de Madrid, 5.500 € plus increments (2.000 € more for a self-employed person's first employee); Cantabria, from 7.000 € to 9.000 € for a new permanent contract, plus supplements; Canarias, 5.000 € (6.000 € in municipalities of under 10.000 inhabitants); Comunitat Valenciana, from 10.000 € to 25.000 €; Illes Balears, up to 35.000 € of first-year employment costs. Part-time, where allowed, it is reduced proportionally.
• The deadline that bites is your own: one month from the hired person's registration in Aragón, the Comunidad de Madrid and Cantabria, and from the contract start date in Navarra; after that month the application is rejected. In Andalucía, Aragón, Canarias, the Comunitat Valenciana and Illes Balears it is awarded first come, first served until the budget runs out, so it pays to file as soon as possible.
• You must keep the job: 24 months in Andalucía and the Comunitat Valenciana, 2 years in Aragón (if the person leaves, they must be replaced within 2 months), 3 years in Cantabria, 12 months in Canarias and the Comunidad de Madrid (6 for the professional practice training contract) and one year in Navarra (if the person leaves, they must be replaced within a month). If not, the grant has to be repaid.
• Representation: we file as your representative in Andalucía, Aragón, Cantabria, Canarias, the Comunidad de Madrid, the Comunitat Valenciana and Illes Balears, but several need a step from you: in Canarias, an apud acta or entry in the register of powers of attorney; in the Comunitat Valenciana, registering us beforehand in its Registro de Representantes, which is done with your digital certificate; in the Comunidad de Madrid, signing the representation form electronically with your digital certificate or your DNIe; in Illes Balears, asking the SOIB to register us as managers in ESOIB. In Navarra, if the electronic office does not accept a representative, you sign with your Cl@ve or your certificate and we leave everything ready. We never ask for your digital certificate.
• Compatibility: the Illes Balears grant cannot be combined with other grants for the same purpose or with reductions in Seguridad Social contributions; in Aragón you cannot apply if you received another grant to promote self-employment in the previous two years, other than the Cuota Cero.
