Entrepreneur status change: 7 mistakes that weaken an application
17 July 20267 min read
One application, one consistent story
The authorities assess reality and viability across the full set of documents. Avoid these seven mistakes:
1A vague offer with no defined customer, service or price
2Revenue with no price-by-volume calculation
3Missing contributions, tax, insurance, software and acquisition costs
4Confusing accounting profit with available cash
5No market evidence such as research, quotations or letters of intent
6Omitting the applicant's required personal income
7Submitting a generic or outdated case without checking local requirements
A monthly forecast shows when customers pay and how much start-up funding is required. Every supporting document should use the same assumptions as the business plan.
Check consistency with Juristelo
Juristelo links assumptions to financial statements. Test a slower launch, add missing costs and check whether cash and income remain sufficient. It supports the economic case but cannot predict the administrative decision.
Check before filing: Service Public and the 13 May 2026 viability opinion order.
