Business Development Tools - Micro Enterprises

Title II Chapter 3

It is a tool dedicated to micro, small and medium-sized enterprises with the dual objective of favoring:

  • The growth of productive investments (between € 30,000.00 and € 4,000,000.00) thanks to the mix of contribution on plant account determined on the amount of interest on a loan granted by a Lender (Credit Institute) and an additional contribution on plant account determined on the purchase cost (net of VAT) of new factory machinery and equipment
  • Access to bank credit thanks to the stimulus action exercised by the subsidy instrument aimed at creating a stable and lasting synergy between the credit system, Puglia Region and Puglia Sviluppo

Support to corporate energy efficiency programs is provided through a formula that allows recipient companies to obtain public coverage equal to 70% of the planned intervention, and to access bank credit for the remaining 30%, with the aim of guaranteeing financial resources for 100% of the single eligible project. Eligible investment projects must expect to achieve energy savings of at least 10% of the local unit subject to investment. Eligible interventions are those related to:

  • Energy efficiency
  • High efficiency cogeneration
  • Production of energy from renewable sources
