Charging a fee is not the normal practice in government agencies, such as the Egyptian Social Fund for Development, Dubai SME, the Khalifa Fund for Enterprise Development, etc. In fact, one of the purposes of any donor funding is to be able to provide BDS services to start-ups and micro- and small enterprises that would otherwise not be able to afford them. This is sometimes a minimal or symbolic fee, which they feel creates a higher level of commitment on the part of the beneficiaries.
