About Sabrina L. Williams

Although I was born in the UK, I moved to the Canary Islands, Spain at a young age and I haven't looked back. The Canaries is a fantastic place to live, I mean you can do all types of outdoor activities practically all year round because of the great weather. Horses are my poison but the islands are also a superb spot for water sports so they do attract a lot of attention from people around the world. Anyway, enough about that. Back in 2011, I made one of the biggest, scariest yet best decisions I'd ever made and set-up my own business in the middle of a recession. I love what I do as no two days are the same, plus Spanish law keeps me on my toes as it is constantly changing (often without warning!) so there is always something new to learn. As I've branched out in the world of Administrative Consultancy, I decided to create a blog to discuss topics of interest to others in my industry and my clients, share tips and experiences, to see what new ideas people have for improving their businesses and the like so I hope you'll find the time to join me on this venture...

Unemployment Benefits For the Self-Employed

Business Owners , , , , , , Sabrina L. Williams

It has being a long time in coming but it would appear that the Ministry of Employment has finally heard the cries of thousands of self-employed business owners in Spain with regards to their right to unemployment benefits. Due to the economy’s poor state of affairs, many self-employed people have had to say goodbye to their dreams and hard work as the current climate has made it impossible for them to maintain their businesses afloat. This is also true for thousands of workers who have lost their jobs but the difference is they at least the right to unemployment benefits until they manage to find other employment, sadly, this in not the case for those who are self-employed.

Spanish Government Begins to Sell Bankia Shares

Spanish News , , , , , , , Sabrina L. Williams

Bankia is once again in the news, this time fortunately, it is not requesting another bailout. The complete opposite is happening as in fact, the Spanish Government has begun to sell its shares in that bank as it struggles to remain solvent. The government used 18 billion Euros of EU funds to bailout the flagging bank and currently owns 68%. The idea is to sell up to 18% of its shares to private investors.

When Is It Compulsory to Register as Self-Employed?

Business Owners , , , , , , , Sabrina L. Williams

Over the past couple of weeks, I have received a number of enquiries about when it is compulsory to register as self-employed and what the minimum income amount permitted is before registry becomes obligatory. Since there seems to be a lot of confusion on the subject, I thought it would be a good idea to address it and hopefully answer some of your queries and more importantly, prevent you from receiving costly fines.
