Grant.
(e)Rules and conditions
Maximum possible aid intensity that, according to the rules and conditions on which the aid is granted, can
be obtained in favour of any one project - 10%.
The aid is not restricted exclusively to SMEs.
Aid intensity is 10% for small enterprises (up to 50 employees), 7,5% for enterprises up to 150 employees
and 5% for bigger enterprises; it must be noted that for administrative reasons (control)
only a part of the whole project costs are accepted as the basis for calculating the amount
of aid (site, building, consulting). The considerable internal costs and especially expenses
for machinery and equipment must be added to these positions, so that the real aid quota
is markedly lower than the nominal one; in addition to that, the quota must be
discounted, as generally the payment of the aid occurs after completion of project.
