We Debunk the Rumours ## **Has Kit Digital really run out of funds?** In recent months, numerous news items and social media comments have claimed that **Kit Digital has run out of funds** and that the grants can no longer be applied for. These claims have caused confusion and concern among self-employed professionals and SMEs wanting to digitalise their business. **But is it true that Kit Digital (Spain’s EU-funded digitalisation voucher scheme for SMEs) has run out of budget?** The answer is clear: **no, Kit Digital funds are still active and available**. In this article we will dismantle the rumours and explain, using official information, the real situation of the programme. We will also show you why **it is important to apply for your voucher as soon as possible** and how ImpactIQ can help you manage your grant safely and effectively. ## **Why is the rumour circulating that Kit Digital has run out of funds?** The Kit Digital Programme has had a massive uptake since its launch. Because of its success, **some calls have temporarily exhausted their allocated budget**, which has led certain applicants to receive notifications stating that their files have been placed on a **waiting list**. Some have misinterpreted this as meaning that the programme’s funds are completely exhausted. However, situations like this **are normal in grant programmes** and do not mean that Kit Digital has ended. Waiting lists exist because **the budget is allocated in phases and is reactivated as new funding tranches are released**. Rather than being alarmed by inaccurate information, the sensible thing is to check official sources and make sure you submit your application **as early as possible** so that you have priority when new funds are released. ## **Kit Digital out of funds: official data that disproves this rumour** ![kit digital out of funds](https://impactiq.es/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/lindgaray_60127_A_large_red_FAKE_NEWS_stamp_over_a_blurred_comp_d6edd8f8-f4c5-47d3-8aea-e3f52da1260e-1024x574.png) To clarify the situation, let’s review **the real Kit Digital figures** according to official information: - **Total programme budget:** Kit Digital has **3,067 million euros**, financed by the European Union through the *NextGenerationEU* funds. This guarantees it will remain operational until the end of 2025. - **Funds disbursed to date:** By the end of 2024, **more than 576,000 digital vouchers had been granted**, representing an investment of **2,300 million euros**. However, **funds are still available for new applications**. - **Budget increases:** The Government has announced **new funding tranches** to meet the high demand and has increased the amounts of some grants, such as the one for segment III (micro-enterprises), which rose from €2,000 to €3,000. - **Open calls:** Currently, **several Kit Digital calls remain open**. This shows that the programme is still running and that **you can still apply for your voucher**. These figures show that **Kit Digital funds have not been exhausted** and that the programme remains in force, with resources available for new applicants. ## **Can I still apply for Kit Digital or is it too late?** Yes, **you can still apply for Kit Digital**. Despite the rumours, the programme is still accepting applications and allocating funds to SMEs and self-employed professionals who meet the requirements. The current calls are: 1. **Companies with 50 to 250 employees:** Digital voucher of up to **€29,000**. Available until 30 June 2025. 2. **Self-employed professionals and micro-enterprises (0 to 2 employees):** Voucher of **€3,000**. Call open until 31 October 2025. 3. **Joint ownership entities (comunidades de bienes) and civil partnerships:** Available until 31 October 2025. If you meet the requirements, **now is the ideal time to submit your application**, since the grants **are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis** until the available funds run out. ## **Why is it important to apply for Kit Digital as soon as possible?** ![kit digital](https://impactiq.es/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/lindgaray_60127_A_confident_entrepreneur_reviewing_Kit_Digital__bf53e416-f761-4cca-ad80-ddf539da621c-1024x574.png) Although **Kit Digital** funds are still active, **waiting too long could make you miss the opportunity**. There is a fundamental difference between the programme remaining open and **you actually getting access to the funds**. This is precisely the point many people are misunderstanding. Below we explain in detail why you should act as soon as possible and not be lulled by the false sense that “there is still time”. ### **1. Kit Digital running out of funds can become a reality if you wait too long** Although the programme’s overall funds remain active, **each call has a limited budget**, which is allocated in order of application. This means that while there is funding, it is distributed as SMEs and self-employed professionals submit their applications. Therefore, **whoever applies first has a far better chance of receiving their grant without setbacks**. Waiting to “see what happens” can land you straight on a **waiting list**, as has already happened in some segments, especially with companies of 10 to 49 employees. Companies that waited until the final months of the call received official letters notifying them that **the funds were committed** and that their files would only be processed if new tranches were released. Although those waiting lists are not final, they do mean **more uncertainty, more waiting time and more risk**. ### **2. Some calls have already exhausted their initial budget** **Segment I (10 to 49 employees)** was a clear example of what can happen if the pace at which funds run out is underestimated. During the last quarter of 2024, **applications increased considerably** and the budget allocated for that phase was committed quickly. This forced many to join the waiting list, hoping that resources would be freed up through withdrawals or unused vouchers already granted. This scenario **could repeat itself with the current calls**. The grants for medium-sized companies, joint ownership entities or micro-enterprises (segment III) are open until mid or late 2025, but if the rate of applications keeps rising (as is happening), **the availability of funds may run out before the call officially closes**. Remember: a call being open **does not mean funds are guaranteed** if you arrive late. ### **3. Demand keeps growing… and Kit Digital starts with delays** Interest in Kit Digital is not just holding steady: **it is rising**. Many companies that did not apply for the voucher in earlier phases are now seeing the results others have achieved by digitalising their business. This has caused a **notable increase in demand**, putting even more pressure on the available funds. In addition, the processing and award procedure is not immediate. Despite being 100% digital, **administrative timescales can vary** depending on the workload of Red.es (the public body that runs the programme) and on all requirements being correctly met. So even if you submit your application today, the voucher may take weeks or even a couple of months to be approved. **The longer you delay, the longer that process drags on and the greater the risk of joining the queue when resources are limited**. ### **4. Planning your digitalisation also takes time** Applying for Kit Digital is only the first step. Once the voucher is granted, you will have to sign the agreements with the digitalising agents, plan the implementation of the solutions, coordinate with suppliers, review results… All of that takes time. That is why **the sooner you start the process, the sooner you will begin to see real results** in your business: greater online visibility, process automation, customer acquisition, digital sales… And if you wait too long, as well as risking losing the grant, you will be **delaying your company’s digital evolution**, which also has a competitive cost. ### **5. It is not just about money: it is a competitive advantage** Many people think Kit Digital is just “another financial grant”. But what it really offers is **a unique opportunity to modernise your business without having to make a large upfront investment**. It gives you access to tools you might otherwise not be able to afford right now: optimised websites, ecommerce, CRM, SEO, social media, cybersecurity… If you do not take advantage of it, your competitors probably will. And while they are winning more customers and optimising processes, **you could still be stuck because you hesitated too long**. That is why acting now **is not just a financial decision**, but a **strategic decision** for the present and future of your business. ## **Myths about Kit Digital running out of funds you should stop believing** Besides the rumour about the lack of funds, there are other misconceptions about Kit Digital that are worth clearing up: ### **1. “Kit Digital has already closed”** **False.** Although some phases have ended, **the programme remains open** and there are active calls. ### **2. “If I am put on the waiting list, I lose the grant”** **Incorrect.** The waiting list **does not mean you will not receive the grant**, but that your application will be processed **when more funds are released**. ### **3. “It is not worth applying because approval takes so long”** **Wrong.** Approval can take time, but if you do not apply for your grant now, **you could be left without it when the funds really do run out**. ## **ImpactIQ: experts in Kit Digital and digital transformation** At **ImpactIQ** we are an agency specialising in **managing and delivering Kit Digital**, helping SMEs and self-employed professionals to **digitalise their business with the best technological solutions**.
