What kind of contracts are more accessible to self -employed?

Being honest, public contracts are like that bargain that every autonomous dream once: stable paste, big projects and, hey, the feeling of being playing in the First Division. Now, you don't have to fence. Not all public contracts are ideal for your own currants. You have to know how to choose well, because some directly or smell them if you go alone.

Where is the reef? Well look, service contracts and minor contracts are usually "our daily bread" for self -employed. Those of services are basically when the administration calls you to get the chestnuts of fire in something concrete: from consulting or legal advice, to graphic design, programming, digital marketing, training ... whatever you can think of, almost. And the best thing is that here the experience and specialization tell more than having a mega -business behind. Therefore, freelance usually have enough hollow.

Then there are minor contracts, which are like the “low cost” of the public sector. Speaking of course: in Spain, if the contract does not reach 40,000 euros for works or 15,000 for the rest, because it enters this category. And here, paperwork is less heavy, less bureaucratic history, and you don't need to have a huge financial mattress. Come on, they are much more accessible to those who are free.

Of course, if you plan to launch yourself to the pool of public tenders, you better go with the duties done. You have to understand how the roll of tenders is (which I already tell you, it is not easy at the beginning), be clear about what you are really good, and be an eye on the opportunities that are coming out. I am not going to deceive you: preparing a decent offer takes time and sometimes some pasta. So make sure that the contract you are going to fight for you.

In summary: are public tenders a brown? Sometimes yes, but they can also be the pump to grow as an autonomous. Service contracts and minors are the most shot, and if you put on the batteries, you can end up caught a work that gives you wings ... or at least, peace of mind for a few months.
