Self-employed aids Melilla coronavirus

The Melilla Project Board of Directors, in its last meeting, approved new lines of aid to companies and the self-employed in the city, which join the "Program of aid to companies affected by COVID-19", thus offering an authentic plan of shock to alleviate the situation of companies and freelancers and alleviate the damage caused by the crisis derived from the pandemic.

The outbreak of the pandemic has disrupted the needs of companies and self-employed workers, who continue to make an effort every day to try to maintain and overcome this situation. In this context, Proyecto Melilla has responded with an ambitious battery of aid that Emilio Guerra considers “very important, both for its relevance and for the amounts, since almost thirteen million euros have been made available to companies and freelancers from Melilla ”.

These are the grants that you can choose to live in Melilla.

Aid Program for Companies affected by COVID-19

This program, which was divided into three lines of aid, was configured as a first response by local administrations to the needs of the companies affected by the confinement. The president of the public company recalls that "last July lines 1 and 2 were approved and are currently in the execution phase with 300 cases resolved and with just over one million euros awarded in aid".

This program has been completed with new grants that are created with the aim of expanding the number of beneficiaries, serving the different types of companies and self employed.

Restart Plan

This denomination is known as line 3 of the "Program of Aid to Companies affected by COVID-19", aimed at job recovery and endowed with € 3,500,000.

The beneficiaries of this line of aid may receive up to 1,000 euros per worker that they recover from the workforce on September 30 and that they keep it at the time of application.

Extraordinary call for lines 1 and 2 of the "Program of aid to companies affected by COVID19"

This new call is approved with the aim of reaching those freelancers and companies that, due to different circumstances, could not present themselves to the previous call. In addition, it clarifies the concept "medical and health" to include those professionals in this field who carry out their activity outside the public sphere and who were excluded in the previous call.

The public company allocates € 2,000,000 to finance this extraordinary line, maintaining the same terms as the previous call.

Complementary aid for freelancers

With the aim of complementing the previous aid and reaching those workers (communities of goods, medium-sized companies, taxi drivers, street vendors, among others) who for various reasons could not benefit from them, Melilla Project allocates € 1,500,000 to a new aid scheme, aimed at the self-employed to cover the loss of activity derived from the health crisis. Due to their nature, these aids are incompatible with the previous ones.

New restrictions

Finally, and in order to face the new closures decreed by the health authorities, such as those affecting the hotel and catering establishments and all those that may be affected by new restrictions, the public company has created a financing line with 1,500. € 000. Beneficiaries may receive a fixed amount of € 1,000 per month and € 400 per month for each full-time worker covered by an ERTE, always in proportion to the duration of the measures.

In addition to the aid described, typical of the exceptional situation we are going through, the Melilla Project keeps open the application deadlines for the aid schemes that this public company offers to SMEs and self-employed persons in the city: "Aid to investment with job creation "," Aid for employment and self-employment "," Aid scheme for companies that obtain or improve their quality systems "and" Aid for Investment in Microenterprises ".
