Medium (estimate)

It suits you if…

  • You run a micro, small or medium business with its registered office and a local unit in the Bologna metropolitan area.
  • Your business is listed in the business register of the Bologna Chamber of Commerce.
  • You want to raise funds with a tool the call covers: crowdfunding, minibonds, venture capital, business angels, invoice trading, vendor loans or participating financial instruments.
  • You expect total costs of at least €5,000 to set up the tool you choose.

It is not for you if…

  • You have already started spending before you send the application: the call recognises only costs started after it.
  • Your registered office and local unit are not both in the Bologna metropolitan area.
  • You plan to claim the monitoring or periodic renewal of a credit rating: the call does not pay for it.

How much you can get

The call pays 50% of the costs it accepts. The grant ranges from €2,500 to €15,000, on spending from €5,000 to €30,000. Example: If you spend €15,000, you receive €7,500 and pay €7,500 yourself. Another example: If you spend €30,000, you receive €15,000 and pay €15,000 yourself. The total fund is €129,000 and it works on a first come, first served basis. Applications are handled in the order they arrive, until the fund runs out.

  • If you spend €15,000, you receive €7,500 and pay €7,500 yourself.
  • If you spend €30,000, you receive €15,000 and pay €15,000 yourself.

What it pays and what it does not

Pays

  • Specialist advice to review your financial position and choose the right tool.
  • Your first credit rating, issued by an ECAI rating agency.
  • Joining digital platforms, including fees paid as subscriptions.
  • Notary fees to update your articles of association and issue minibonds.
  • The services of an arranger, who organises the operation.
  • Costs strictly aimed at telling the business community that your crowdfunding campaign or minibond issue is starting.
  • Other costs directly linked to setting up the tool you chose.

Does not pay

  • Monitoring and periodic renewal of the credit rating.
  • Self-invoices, meaning invoices your business issues to itself.

Mistakes that cost you the money

  • Starting to spend before you have sent the application. Consequence: The call does not recognise those costs.
  • Not setting up the innovative finance tool within the call's time limit. Consequence: You lose the whole grant.
  • Claiming the monitoring or renewal of a credit rating. Consequence: This item is not paid.
  • Presenting self-invoices as proof of spending. Consequence: The call does not accept them.
  • Hiring advisers who are not qualified or who give no written report. Consequence: The advice may not be recognised.
  • Sending the quotes as several files instead of a single pdf. Consequence: The call asks for detailed quotes in a single pdf file.
  • Waiting for the last days to apply, although the call is first come, first served. Consequence: Later applications are examined later.

Frequently asked questions

Can I buy services before I apply?

No. The call recognises only costs started after you submit the application.

Where do I apply?

On the Restart platform, where you fill in the form online and download the grant request form.

When does the money arrive?

The call does not state how payment works or whether an advance is possible. Ask the Promotion office of the Bologna Chamber of Commerce, which sees visitors by appointment.

Who gets priority?

The call gives priority to businesses led by women or young people, and to those with a legality rating or a gender equality certification.

Do I have to put in my own money?

Yes. The part of the cost the grant does not cover stays with you. The grant covers 50% of the costs the call accepts, so you pay the rest.

We prepare free of charge the documents about our products: technical and project description, a quote split by the call's cost items, timing and data sheets to attach. For questions about the call, Enterprise Europe Network, the public help desk for applicants, guides you.
