Alta de autónomo

Become autónomo with Solvio.

Answer a few questions on your phone. A partner gestoría files your registration with Hacienda and Seguridad Social, and with the ATC if you live in the Canaries. When it's done, Solvio is set up to send your first invoice.

€99.00 + IGIC 7% · €105.93 in total, one payment

Solvio accounts are free to try. You only pay for the registration once a gestoría accepts your case.

How it works

Four steps, all from your phone.

  1. 1

    Answer the questions

    Who you are, what you'll do, where and for whom, and what you expect to earn. About ten minutes, saved as you go, with your monthly cost worked out as you type.

  2. 2

    The gestoría checks, then you pay

    A gestor reads your answers and may ask about anything unclear. Once they accept your case you pay €105.93 by card. If they can't take it, you pay nothing.

  3. 3

    Let them file for you

    Sign the authorisation on screen and upload your digital certificate (we show you how to get one if you haven't). It's encrypted, used only by your gestoría, every use is logged, and it's deleted when your alta is done.

  4. 4

    Approve, and you're registered

    The gestor sends you the final details (activity, IAE, IGIC or IVA, cuota) to approve, files everything and uploads the official receipts. Solvio fills in your invoice details for you.

Government costs

What being autónomo costs you each month.

Registering is free. Once you're registered you pay Seguridad Social a monthly cuota that follows your income (2026 figures), or about €88.56 for the first year if you qualify for the tarifa plana (€80 plus the MEI), and you put aside income tax for the quarterly returns.

  • Add what you expect to earn and spend to see your own figures.
  • Seguridad Social takes the cuota from your bank on the last working day of each month.
  • It's an estimate: the cuota is adjusted later against your real income in your Renta, and your gestor confirms the figure before filing.
  • 2026 keeps last year's table; only the top base changed.
  • The tarifa plana is €80 plus the MEI, about €88.56 a month. It's the figure applied in 2026, though not yet fixed in law for this year. You must ask for it when you register, and register before you start working.
  • To keep the tarifa plana in the second year you must ask for it, and your net income must stay under the minimum wage.

Registering with Hacienda and Seguridad Social is free; this is what you'd pay them each month once you're registered. Only an estimate: your gestor confirms the figure.

What's included

  • Census registration with Hacienda (modelo 036): activity, IAE, income tax method, IGIC or IVA
  • Registration with the ATC (modelo 400) if you live in the Canaries
  • Alta in RETA with Seguridad Social, with the tarifa plana when you qualify, and your mutua
  • The official receipts (justificantes), kept in your Solvio
  • Your invoice details, tax settings and a list of what to file and when

What isn't

  • The monthly Seguridad Social cuota itself: that's paid to the government
  • Quarterly and yearly returns after you're registered: your gestoría can quote for them, or you can file them from Solvio
  • Setting up a company (SL): this service is for autónomos

Questions

Before you start.

Do I need a digital certificate?
Yes: your gestoría files with it on your behalf. If you don't have one, the app walks you through getting the FNMT certificate (it's free and needs a short identity check).
What is the tarifa plana?
A flat €80 a month plus the MEI (about €88.56) for your first 12 months, for people who haven't been autónomo in the last two years (three if they had it before). You ask for it when you register, so register before you start working. The questions tell you whether it can apply to you.
I don't live in the Canaries. Can I use it?
Yes, anywhere in Spain. The ATC step only applies to Canary addresses; elsewhere it's Hacienda and Seguridad Social, and Basque and Navarre addresses go to their own Hacienda.
Can I keep my job?
Yes. Tell us in the questions: being employed and autónomo at once (pluriactividad) can lower your cuota, and the gestor sets it up.
How long does it take?
Most of it depends on how quickly you answer and approve. Pick a start date at least 7 days ahead so there's time to file, and don't invoice until your gestor confirms you're registered.
Who do I pay, and can I get a refund?
You pay Solvio €105.93 by card and get an invoice. You only pay once a gestoría accepts your case; if they can't finish it after that, Solvio refunds you.
