The Popular Party of La Gomera has launched an information campaign to inform self-employed workers on the island about the new support measures from the Government of the Canary Islands, including the Zero Fee for new entrepreneurs.
The Popular Party of La Gomera has initiated an information campaign to bring the new support measures promoted by the Ministry of Economy, Industry, Trade and Self-Employed Workers, led by Vice President Manuel Domínguez, closer to the island's self-employed workers. The initiative includes the distribution of explanatory brochures in various municipalities, aiming for local entrepreneurs to be aware of the available tools to alleviate economic burdens and promote entrepreneurship.
Zero Fee and bonuses for new self-employed workers
Among the most notable measures is the Zero Fee, which allows for the refund of Social Security contributions during the first twelve months of activity. This initiative aims to reduce the initial costs of new business projects, a particularly delicate stage for any entrepreneur. According to the PP of La Gomera, self-employed workers are one of the main economic engines of the island and play an essential role in job creation and population retention in the territory.
Additionally, the aid package includes incentives for hiring the first worker over 52 years old, bonuses for loans aimed at investments, and specific support for those experiencing temporary incapacity. There are also provisions for family reconciliation aid through the Concilia Programme, as well as administrative simplification measures related to IGIC to reduce bureaucracy and facilitate compliance with tax obligations.
Informative tour through the municipalities of La Gomera
The PP's information campaign is taking place in various locations across the island, aiming to reach as many self-employed workers, entrepreneurs, and small business owners as possible. Representatives of the regional party are touring the municipalities of La Gomera to explain the details of the initiatives firsthand and address any questions.
From the PP La Gomera, they highlight that these policies respond to a clear commitment to those who generate wealth and employment in the Canary Islands and, in this case, in La Gomera.
For the self-employed workers of La Gomera, being aware of these aids can mean significant relief in their daily lives. The Zero Fee, for example, allows a new self-employed worker not to advance the payment of contributions during the first year, facilitating the start-up of the business. The bonuses for hiring those over 52 help retain senior talent, while the Concilia Programme provides respite for those balancing work and family. These measures are part of a broader strategy by the Government of the Canary Islands to improve the competitiveness of the productive fabric and support entrepreneurship.
The PP has announced that it will continue these informative actions in the coming days, reaffirming its commitment to maintaining a close and useful policy for the people of La Gomera. Interested parties can consult the available brochures at information points or contact the party to resolve any questions regarding the requirements and deadlines for the aid.
