Autónomo Info Sharing

Navigating self-employment in Spain is its own adventure, and the beginning is often the most confusing part. Which step comes first? Do you need a gestor? What is a certificado digital, and why does everything seem to need one?

This session is for anyone just starting out or partway through registration. Bring your questions. No question is too basic. Someone else in the room is probably wondering the same thing.
Recently registered? Please come and share what worked, what surprised you, and what you'd do differently. Your experience is exactly what someone else needs to hear.

Likely topics:

The order of steps: NIE/TIE, certificado digital and Cl@ve, alta with Hacienda and Social Security
Using a gestor or doing it yourself, and what services typically cost
What changes once you're registered: facturas, quarterly filings, Verifactu
Common first-year surprises

We meet in person in Valencia to share what we know, ask what we don't, and build a reliable resource that grows with the community. No experts at the front of the room. No sales. Just honest exchange among people living the same reality. Please check anything important with a qualified professional.
English is the primary language. Locals and expats equally welcome.
