Benidorm resolves the first remittance of aid to collaborate with the expenses of business entities

The Local Government Board (JGL) has approved the first remittance of aid that is summoned annually by the Department of Employment and Local Promotion to collaborate with the labor and operating expenses of business and/or entrepreneurial entities in Benidorm. As reported by the mayor of the area, Mónica Gómez, "In this first remittance, the applications submitted by the AICO and Jovempa associations have been resolved, receiving in both cases the maximum eligible amount: 9,000 euros."

Gómez recalled that this aid can finance the expenses of administrative staff, the rent of the entity's headquarters, or the supply of water and electricity to the office or premises.

"We want to help business entities maintain their workforce, mainly administrative staff, and thus be able to continue providing support services to entrepreneurs who start or carry out their activity in Benidorm", has specified the person in charge of Employment and Local Development.

As the bases of the call indicate, the aid is aimed at business associations and entrepreneurs in Benidorm -non-profits-, which have a stable, active establishment or premises open to the public with opening hours and which carry out activities to support entrepreneurs and companies in the city.

In this sense, he recalled that "one of the lines of action of the Agency for Employment and Local Development is precisely to encourage self-employment, either with the advisory service for entrepreneurs who want to start a project and with the provision of the municipal Coworking Space, or through calls like this one”.

Applications can be submitted until October 31 on the website (https://sede.benidorm.org). For this call, the City Council has reserved 63,000 euros, of which in this first remittance has granted 18,000.
