Grants and funding

In short

  • For almost any grant, the holding must be registered in time and owe nothing to the state (H64-03).
  • Investment support is usually paid after the investment: you need the money up front.
  • Costs incurred before you apply or are approved are often not eligible. Don't buy until you have read the scheme rules.
  • Work out whether it pays: the grant minus preparation costs, time and obligations. Don't buy what you don't need just because there is a grant.
  • You must keep and use a grant-funded investment for a set number of years. Keep every paper.
