The mobile Self-Employment Office recorded 227 individual advisory consultations across Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza and Formentera over 15 service days between 23 September and 16 October. Financial assistance for established self-employed professionals and the Cuota Cero programme accounted for the largest shares of enquiries.
Of the consultations recorded, 94 involved questions about support for established self-employed workers, representing 41% of the total. Another 90 consultations, or 40%, covered the Cuota Cero programme.
The figures reflect formally recorded individual advisory sessions rather than everyone who visited the mobile information points. Some visitors sought general information without their enquiries being counted as individual consultations.
The service also received enquiries from people considering self-employment for the first time, including those seeking guidance on how to register as self-employed and begin their business activities.
