Funding

5 mistakes that cost an ΕΣΠΑ grant approval

From purchases made before applying to an own contribution you cannot evidence: the most common mistakes and how to avoid them.

· By Rodothea (Rose) · Example article

A good investment plan can be rejected, or lose part of its grant, for reasons that are easy to prevent.

  1. Buying before applying. In most calls, expenses are only eligible from the date of online submission.
  2. The wrong activity code (ΚΑΔ). Each call defines which codes are eligible and since when they must be registered.
  3. A budget without quotes. Expenses must be evidenced and linked to a real business need.
  4. An own contribution you cannot evidence. The grant covers part of the investment. The rest must be funded and, often, proven.
  5. Exceeding the de minimis cap. Past aid counts. Check it before you apply.

How to protect yourself

Ask for a pre-check before you commit. It is free and shows you from the start whether it is worth going ahead.
