When dealing with public calls for proposals, you should check the following conditions:
- What constitutes state aid? (e.g., guarantee for securing a bank loan, interest rate subsidy, subsidy for eligible costs, etc.)
- Which companies are eligible to apply? (eligible applicants)
- Which investments are eligible for state aid? (eligible costs)
- Which companies are excluded from applying due to state aid rules?
- When can eligible costs be incurred? (eligibility period of the investment)
For public calls related to granting guarantees for securing bank investment loans with simultaneous interest rate subsidies, banks that sign annual cooperation agreements with SPS also participate.
Therefore, interested companies must also find a participating bank for these calls and apply for an investment loan through that bank.
The application documentation for SPS public calls is available on the website www.podjetniskisklad.si.
