Mistakes that cost you the money

  • Buying your stand or starting your participation before you apply. Consequence: Costs incurred earlier may not be recognised.
  • Assuming you are an SME without checking the EU definition. Consequence: If you do not fit the definition, the application can be rejected.
  • Not checking that you will have an active operating site in Lombardy when the grant is paid. Consequence: Without it, you are outside the businesses the grant is meant for.
  • Waiting before you send the application. Consequence: With first come, first served, the funds can run out before you apply.
  • Preparing your report as if every cost were refunded on real invoices. Consequence: The call's reporting uses simplified cost options, so your report may not match what is asked.
