The 3rd call for the project "Early warning system for SMEs in periodic difficulties" is open until January 20, 2022, at 12:00. This time, the project is aimed at small and medium-sized enterprises operating on the market for at least 12 months, which experience periodic difficulties in doing business.
Support includes a diagnosis of the condition of the company and co-financing of training, consulting and mentoring services that will allow to overcome problems at an early stage. On the basis of recommendations included in the diagnosis, entrepreneurs will select development services from those available in the Development Services Database (BUR).
Entrepreneurs may obtain co-financing for development services with a value of up to PLN 18.5 thousand net. The total net cost of the service is covered by PARP, and the entrepreneur bears the cost of VAT tax. The funds come from the EU programme Knowledge Education Development (POWER).
Who will benefit from the Early Warning System and when?
Companies in the small and medium-sized business sector that:
- have experienced a decline in sales of goods and services in the 6 months prior to the date of application for the project - excluding seasonal variations directly attributable to industry characteristics (e.g., horticulture, construction, etc.);
- Have experienced an exodus of key personnel in at least the last 2 months prior to the date of application for the project;
- have been affected by significant legal or technological changes in the industry, independent of the entrepreneur and the business (especially industry digitalization), which force changes in the organization of the company or its re-branding;
- meet the definition of an entrepreneur in periodic hardship.
A completed enrollment questionnaire and information on meeting the SME criteria is required with your application.
