In today’s digital world, small businesses and freelancers need the right tools to stay competitive. To help with this, the Spanish government has created the Kit Digital program. 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.
What is Kit Digital and who can apply
Kit Digital is a government grant funded by the European Union’s NextGenerationEU funds. It aims to help businesses with fewer than 50 employees gain access to the technology they need to modernise and grow. By providing this funding, the government hopes to make it easier for small businesses to embrace digital solutions and improve their efficiency.
The Kit Digital program is aimed at freelancers and small businesses with fewer than 50 employees. This includes autónomos, who must have been registered for at least six months before applying. Eligible businesses also need to be up to date with their taxes and social security payments and must not be in bankruptcy or undergoing a business crisis. 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 received this grant before, you can only apply again to expand your digital tools.
What Can You Use the Money For?
The Kit Digital grant can be used for a variety of digital improvements, including:
- Buying new laptops, mobile phones, or other essential digital devices.
- Creating or improving your website.
- Setting up an online store.
- Managing social media profiles.
- Using customer management tools (CRM).
- Improving cybersecurity to protect your data.
- Implementing electronic invoicing systems.
- Accessing virtual office services.
- Using tools for business data analysis and intelligence.
The funding typically covers these services for up to 12 months, allowing you enough time to put your new digital solutions in place.
How to Apply
Applying for the Kit Digital program is designed to be straightforward. First, you’ll need to register on the official Acelera Pyme website. Once registered, you’ll take a short test that helps assess how digital your business currently is. Based on this, you can explore the list of approved digital solutions and select the ones that best fit your needs.
After that, you’ll submit your application through the electronic office of Red.es. Once approved, you’ll choose a certified digital agent (a company authorised by the program) to help implement the solutions you picked.
The deadline to apply is October 31, 2025, so there is plenty of time to take advantage of this opportunity.
Navigating government programs like Kit Digital can be confusing. That’s where your Gestor your accountant or business advisor can be a great help. They can check if your business qualifies for the grant and assist in preparing and submitting your application. They’ll also advise on which digital tools are best suited to your business goals and help you pick an authorised digital agent to work with.
Having your Gestor manage this process can save you time and reduce stress, allowing you to focus on running your business while they handle the paperwork and follow-ups.
Watch Out for Scams
Unfortunately, there are companies and individuals who might try to take advantage of businesses applying for this program. Some might promise quick approval for a fee or ask for personal information unnecessarily. To protect yourself, always use official websites like Acelera Pyme for your application.
Make sure to only work with certified digital agents listed on the official site. Before signing any agreements, read all terms and conditions carefully. And never share sensitive information with unverified parties.
