According to the study, only <strong>24% of companies<\/strong> have an optimistic outlook on the Spanish economy over the next twelve months, compared to <strong>51%<\/strong> that describe themselves as openly pessimistic. <\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:26px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<p>For a startup, this has a clear takeaway: the more uncertain the environment, the more important it is to have visibility over cash flow, control costs, and reduce administrative friction.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:26px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What SMEs and startups are concerned about in 2026<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p>The report identifies several factors that are shaping business decision-making. <strong>Inflation<\/strong> appears as the main concern, mentioned by 26% of SMEs. It is followed by falling demand, new regulations, and geopolitical instability.  <\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:26px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<p>In other words, companies are not facing a single challenge, but several at the same time: costs, sales, regulatory compliance, and planning.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:26px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<p>For small teams, this can become a significant burden. A growing startup needs to dedicate most of its energy to selling, developing the product, attracting talent, and raising funding. However, it often ends up losing time on tasks such as:  <\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:26px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Conciliar movimientos bancarios.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Managing team expenses.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Managing invoices.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Preparing financial documentation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Adapting to new digital obligations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Maintaining visibility over income and payments.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>That is where a financial tool designed for digital businesses can make a difference.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:26px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Financial digitalization: a priority for competing<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p>One of the most relevant points in Qonto\u2019s report is the adoption of electronic invoicing and new regulations. According to the study, only 23% of SMEs have already integrated electronic invoicing into their processes. 36% are in the testing phase, 12% plan to implement it soon, and 29% are not yet considering it.  <\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:26px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<p>This figure reflects an important reality: many companies are still not ready to operate with fully digitalized financial processes.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:26px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<p>For startups and entrepreneurs, getting ahead of this transition can be a competitive advantage. Not only for regulatory compliance, but also because digitalizing financial management allows teams to work more efficiently, reduce errors, and make decisions based on clearer data. <\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:26px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Grow, yes \u2014 but with financial control.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p>Despite the current context, the report also shows that many companies are still focused on growth. 53% of SMEs expect to increase their revenue over the next twelve months, although in most cases they anticipate moderate growth. <\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:26px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<p>This point is especially relevant for startups: growth is not only about selling more. It also means understanding how much it costs to grow, how much margin remains, which expenses are recurring, when money comes in, and how much capacity the company has to sustain its operations. <\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:26px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<p>Poor financial visibility can affect key decisions such as:<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:26px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Hiring team members.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Launching new products.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Opening new markets.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Investing in marketing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Negotiating funding.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Managing runway.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>That is why having a business account and tools adapted to the pace of a startup is not just an administrative matter.
