In today’s digital world, remote work has radically changed how professionals and companies collaborate. More and more people living in Spain are seeking international job opportunities, taking advantage of the flexibility of remote work without the complications of being self-employed.
However, many professionals face significant challenges when it comes to managing legal, tax, and administrative aspects of working with foreign employers. That’s where In Life Projects comes in — offering a seamless, legal alternative that allows you to work for international companies while being legally employed in Spain.

Why Avoid Freelancing When Working with International Companies?
While freelancing offers flexibility, it comes with a long list of challenges in Spain, especially when working for companies abroad. Here are some common issues:
- High monthly social security contributions: Regardless of your income, you must pay a fixed cuota that can be burdensome, especially during slower months.
- Complex tax responsibilities: Freelancers must manage quarterly VAT declarations, income tax, and other filings — a time-consuming process that often requires hiring a gestor.
- Limited social benefits: Freelancers in Spain have reduced access to benefits like paid holidays, sick leave, unemployment protection, or standard retirement contributions.
- Uncertainty with foreign clients: It can be hard to ensure your contracts are legally sound and that you get paid on time, especially when there’s no local legal framework protecting you.
The Solution: Legal Employment in Spain Without Being Self-Employed
In Life Projects provides a smart alternative to freelancing for professionals who want to work with international companies while staying fully compliant with Spanish labor law.
By acting as your Employer of Record (EOR) in Spain, In Life Projects becomes your legal employer and takes care of all the legal, tax, and administrative requirements — so you can focus on doing what you do best.
