He sailed under sponsorship of both Portugal and Spain but King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain were his major sponsors.

He began working for local bankers and trade companies in Italy and was sent to Spain in 1492 to look after his employer's business. While in Spain, he began working on ships and ultimately went on his first expedition as a navigator in 1499. Therefore, he was in Spain when he left for his first expedition, which meant that Spain payed for Amerigo Vespucci's voyage to South America.
