Implement leader projects
We at the office are here to support you throughout the entire implementation phase of the project. Here we have gathered advice and information.
This page is aimed at those of you with projects that have received a positive decision from the Leader Bergslagen board.
Now the Leader Bergslagen board has made a decision to finance your project. The Leader office has notified the Swedish Board of Agriculture and now there is a wait of about three to five months for the formal decision from the Swedish Board of Agriculture.
You can start your project – but at your own risk. Regardless of whether you choose to wait for the formal decision – or if you start at your own risk, you must follow the instructions presented on this page.
You can only receive money for expenses that have an invoice date and payment date from the date you submitted your application for support up to and including the end date stated in your support decision. You cannot receive support for expenses that you have incurred before or after this period.
Don't hesitate to contact us. the office if you have any questions.
Use the right logos
Show that it is a leader project
When you communicate about the project via advertisements, information sheets, social media, websites and other means, it must be clear that the money comes from the EU. This is shown through two logos: the EU logo and the Leader Bergslagen logo, which must be clearly visible and legible.
Ask the office to email you the Zip file with the logos in high resolution.

Apply for payment
Be careful with payment receipts
You can apply for partial payment from the Swedish Board of Agriculture at any time after you have received a decision on support and have incurred expenses for the project. In addition to invoice copies, you also need proof of payment showing that the payments have been made. The proof of payment must state the following:
- Payment date
- Amount paid
- Sender (which account the money was deducted from)
- Recipient (that the payment went to the same Plusgiro, Bankgiro or account number that is on the invoice)
- That the payment has been completed. “Immediate payment” is not considered a completed payment.
Apply for a change of decision
If things don't go as planned
Following your project plan is a prerequisite for avoiding deductions, therefore any changes must always be approved before the expenses can be eligible for support.
Please contact us at the office if something is not going as planned in the project. It is important that you contact us before you make any changes. Changes that have been notified and approved by the office must be submitted via form to the Swedish Board of Agriculture.
