Madrid’s 2027 call offers up to €100,000 per entity per year

By Grace Kim

Madrid’s 2027 grant call has four aid lines, and the advisory line can reach €100,000 per entity per year, according to La Voz de Madrid.

What does the call cover?

The first line will cover 80% of start-up costs for eligible entities, capped at €16,500 per beneficiary. La Voz de Madrid said these entities aim to improve access to the labor market for people in social exclusion through employment and training.

La Voz de Madrid’s terms cap both the cost share and the subsidy amount. An entity can receive support for 80% of start-up costs, but the subsidy cannot exceed €16,500 for that beneficiary.

The second line will fund advisory services tied to four tasks named by La Voz de Madrid: defining the business idea, studying its viability, establishing the company and supporting its development.

Payments under that line will use fixed amounts based on the initiative’s phase, with a ceiling of €100,000 per year for each entity. On La Voz de Madrid’s figures, that is the largest of the four aid lines.

In plain terms, Madrid is offering targeted help at the start-up stage and a larger, phase-based advisory allowance tied to company formation and development.

What can entities buy and build?

The third subsidy will cover half of expenses associated with creating, expanding or developing an entity. La Voz de Madrid listed machinery, software, vehicles and computers among the costs that can qualify.

The annual cap is €22,000 per applicant. Under La Voz de Madrid’s terms, the grant matches up to half of a qualifying expense, subject to both the 50% rate and the €22,000 ceiling for each applicant in each year.

La Voz de Madrid said the line supports expenses to create an entity, expand it or continue its development. The stated list spans physical assets and digital tools, including machinery and software.

The practical limit is clear: applicants can draw on half of eligible creation or expansion costs, but no applicant can exceed €22,000 in annual support from this line.

How much can new partners receive?

The fourth line will subsidize the incorporation of new partners with direct payments of up to €10,000 per beneficiary. It will also raise the maximum number of people per entity who can receive that subsidy from five to seven.

A person joining the organization can separately obtain up to €3,500 to cover the financial contribution required to become a partner, according to La Voz de Madrid.

La Voz de Madrid distinguishes the two amounts. The €10,000 payment supports incorporation, while the €3,500 is earmarked for the contribution needed to join the organization.

For new members, the 2027 rules provide direct subsidies and up to €3,500 for required financial contributions, while expanding the number of subsidy-eligible people per entity from five to seven.

When can applicants apply?

All four sets of amounts will apply to the 2027 grant call, according to La Voz de Madrid. Applicants can submit applications from January 1 through the Digital Administration of the Community of Madrid.

La Voz de Madrid identifies January 1 as the opening date and the Digital Administration of the Community of Madrid as the application channel. The €100,000 figure applies to the advisory line, rather than to a single ceiling across all four lines.

That distinction sets the scale of the offer. Start-up support reaches €16,500 per beneficiary, creation and expansion support reaches €22,000 per applicant, and the partner subsidy reaches €10,000 per beneficiary.

What changes for 2027?

Taken together, the four lines address the stages named by La Voz de Madrid: start-up costs, advisory work, the creation or expansion of an entity, and the addition of new partners. The program links each stage to a separate rate, cap or payment rule.

The clearest numerical change concerns partner eligibility. La Voz de Madrid said the fourth line will increase the maximum number of subsidy recipients per entity from five to seven, while setting direct subsidies of up to €10,000 per beneficiary.

For 2027 applicants, the decision hinges on which line matches their need: advisory work carries the €100,000 ceiling, while start-up, creation or expansion, and partner entry come with smaller, targeted caps.
