I have recently speaking to my MD, about taking our company to spain to open up opportunities there. Do you think that British people would be interested in working for a UK company, working from thier own apartments or villas????

I think it would be a great solution to the sometimes difficult job situation in Spain. All that is needed is a dedicated landline and broadband connection.

Please let me know your thoughts, it really is something that I feel would work well, but you are there and I'm here, so your comments would be appreciated.

Hi Hayley

I think this is a great idea and i myself would definately be interested and i know of at least another 4/5 people who would also be interested in this idea. I have lived in Spain for 7 months and having 2 sons, 1 of which is a baby, i am well aware that the job situation for me at the moment is pretty bleak until i get the funds to afford spanish lessons therefore i need an income and if i could do that from home then that would be even better. Please keep me informed if you have any developments on this idea.

I think everyone would be up for a cushy job like that , so go for it ...

Thanks Pete for your reply. 99% of the responces I have had have all said the same thing. I am visiting the Costa Blanca next week to continue my research and hopefully start the ball rolling.

Please keep your responces coming though, everyone one helps.

Atleast people want an English voice no matter where they are based. The Asian markets just cant full fill that. I think you should have success with this project if it goes ahead and a great tan! I'm glad most people have been positive towards the idea. Can you use your know how to get your own clients if your boss cant help or is it too big a job?

Hi Everyone,

Once again, thanks for all your feedback.

Just to let you know the Coastrider Local Paper in the Costa Blanca are doing a feature on this storey this week, so keep your eye out for it.

Many thanks, and keep em coming.

Hi,
If you don't know Spanish it is very difficult to get work. I'd like to add my name to the list of would be takers for a job working from home.

Hi Hayley

This would be my dream job as decent work here is so hard to find. Despite having a degree, speaking nearly fluent spanish and having TEFL cert., to teach english I am working in a p/t office job for 5 euros an hour, 15 hrs per week. My son only goes to school 9-2pm and most people want classes in the afternoon and my husband teaches then so I've just had to take what I could find. Working from home would be great. Good Luck

I am delighted to say that the research is going very well. The CoastRider Paper and the Round Town News Paper have both done a feature on us this week. You can see the full write up and my contact details on their website. Coastrider comes under local news, and RTN is on page 53, you can view it using their new viewing system which shows you the pages as they are in the actual paper. We have decided to run a pilot scheme, and are inviting any interested parties to register on our website for the feature. The Pilot group should be operational before xmas and if that goes well then it will give us the green light to open our Spanish Operation.

If anyone is interested in more details, please email me, and please keep your feedback and comments coming, they really are a great help.


Many thanks,

Hayley

I think it's an excellent idea as there are so few genuine jobs for Expats in Spain.

Will your company be taking workers on as paid employees or will they be working as self employed (Autonomo)?

[hayleymorgan]

Hi,

Thanks for the positive comment. Yes, any of our Spanish agents would be what we call "independent contractors" so indeed self employed, Autonomo.

Actually you may be able to help me with a question, someone has aksed if the "undeclared rule would apply and pay 15% to the authorities before receipt of any money ?".

Could you shed a little light on this for me, is this something specific to Spain?

I look forward to hearing from you, many thanks.
