Who can apply for the business check?
The CHECK BUSINESS can be applied for by entrepreneurs with a sole proprietorship or another business form.
The check is intended to promote entrepreneurship by allowing you to test new activities or directions.
The business check is practically sub-activities in a larger umbrella project with us at Leader Bergslagen.
What costs can a project within the business check have?
The costs in a check must be related to the activity you want to carry out. The total cost for the project is a maximum of 50,000 SEK. However, the costs for investments may not exceed 24,000 SEK excluding VAT. A very important limit to keep in mind! If you are interested in crafting something where materials + shipping + assembly exceed the limit, then you should instead apply for a regular leader project, ’project support for businesses.” Since businesses can deduct VAT, you should apply for the funds from us excluding VAT.
Financing
- The amount paid from Leader Bergslagen for the business check is a maximum of 25,000 SEK.
- 50% financing of project costs from Leader.
