How can you apply for a grant for your company?
Are you a company or self-employed person who wants to know how to get a grant for your business, but don't have the time to go deeper and apply for one?
Don't worry, in this space we will tell you the basic knowledge you need to enter the world of grants.
What is a grant?
We start by explaining the concept of a grant and what is meant by it. Subsidies are public aid in the form of money, goods or services where the public administration covers a part of something we need for our activity.
The calls for applications for these subsidies are temporary, and can be opened on a one-off basis for specific purposes or remain open throughout the year. They may vary depending on the autonomous community where they are launched and the investment fund that subsidises them.
In general, most of these subsidies are non-refundable, which means that, once the budget for these subsidies has run out, the application period closes automatically.
Therefore, it is very important to emphasise that you must be very attentive to public notifications in order to know the deadline for registration of the subsidies and their budgetary margin, in order to calculate whether your application will be processed by the Administration.
The process
Once you have identified how the aid you are interested in is regulated, you must present all the documentation required for your application.
The requirements may vary, but the basic concepts subject to subsidies are:
- To be up to date with all obligations with the Tax Agency and Social Security.
- Not being identified by the Administration as a company in bankruptcy or in debt.
Even so, the process to obtain the subsidy depends on many aspects: the type of activity of your company, the type of subsidy or autonomous community...
Once the application has been submitted, you must be attentive to all possible requirements to provide additional documents that may be required. It is crucial that you pay attention to these notifications so that you can plan your calendar and avoid losing the subsidy for submitting it after the deadline.
And finally, the subsidy bonus period. This is simply the time you have to wait to receive it, although it depends a lot on the type of aid requested and the body that grants it.
As you can see, it can be a somewhat complex process that ImpulsAS can carry out for you. We have a team of experts, focused on supporting our clients.
