Kit Digital: what it covers and what it does not

A public voucher funded from European money, split into categories, with conditions worth reading before you commission a website rather than afterwards.

The short answer

Kit Digital is a Red.es voucher, funded from European money, that a Spanish small company or sole trader can spend on specific digital solutions — website, e-commerce, customer management, cybersecurity and others — with a supplier registered in the programme. The amount depends on your company’s size band and the category. It is not money you receive: it is a credit the supplier invoices against, and it obliges you to keep the solution running for the period set by the call.

How it actually works

The voucher never reaches your bank account. You apply, it is granted as a credit assigned to your company, and then you choose a registered digitalisation agent. The agent does the work and bills against the voucher. You sign an agreement with them and evidence that the solution is running.

That sequence matters because it reverses the order many people use. Commissioning the website first and applying afterwards does not work: anything contracted before the grant is usually not eligible. If you intend to use it, the voucher comes first.

The three traps

The first is the service period. The voucher does not pay for a website and leave: it obliges you to keep it operational for the months the call specifies. If the supplier disappears after three, the problem is yours.

The second is confusing the maximum amount with what you will get. The maximum is per category and per size band, and a website category does not cover the same ground as an e-commerce one.

The third, and the most expensive, is letting the voucher pick your supplier. There are agents whose entire model is to build the minimum that can be evidenced and charge the maximum. The voucher covers a cost; it does not guarantee that what gets built is any use once the service period ends.

The service period obliges you to keep it running, not just build it
The maximum amount is not the amount you qualify for
Being paid by the voucher does not make it free; it makes it somebody else’s

What to do before applying

Check first whether you meet the current call’s requirements and whether funds remain, because both change. Then decide which category fits what you genuinely need, rather than the one that pays most.

And before signing with an agent, ask them exactly what you would ask without a voucher: which pages, who writes the copy, what happens to the domain, what you pay monthly, and what you take with you if you leave. A public grant is no reason to lower the bar on the questions.

Where the figures come from

Kit Digital is a Red.es grant programme funded by Next Generation EU, with solution categories and company-size bands defined in each call for applications.

Common questions

If your question isn’t here, write to us and we’ll answer it. Contact

Are you a registered digitalisation agent?

No. We work with clients who have a voucher and clients who do not, and we will tell you frankly whether applying makes sense. If you do use it, we will help you understand what it covers and compare quotes from registered agents, even when that means somebody else does the work.

Should I always apply if I qualify?

Not always. If what you need costs less than the paperwork and the maintenance obligation that comes with it, the voucher costs you time and ties you down. For a small project it is sometimes better to pay and forget about it.

Can I use it for maintenance?

That depends on the category and the current call. Generally it covers the service for a defined period rather than open-ended maintenance. After that period, the recurring cost is yours.

What if my evidence is not accepted?

Repayment can be demanded. That is why the documentation matters as much as the work, and why whoever does it should know from the start what will be asked for at the end rather than discovering it in the last month.

We will tell you whether you qualify

Tell us your company’s size and what you need. We will check whether the voucher fits before you lose time on paperwork, and if it does not apply to you we will say so plainly.
