BAFA funding program for companies in difficulty: 90% funding for up to € 3,000 consulting funding with 10% personal contribution (€ 300 net) to restore performance and competitiveness

Possible consulting content to restore the performance and competitiveness of your company:

 

  • Restoring and securing liquidity

  • Analysis and optimization of your cost structure

  • Development of new business areas

  • New marketing strategies

  • Further crisis management

 

If the company gets into difficulties, they must be resolved as quickly as possible and the company supported. In order to restore your performance and competitiveness, it makes sense to use a management consultancy.

 

Good to know: Companies are eligible to apply as "companies in difficulty" from the first day after they are founded.

 

A company finds itself in trouble when it is unable, with its own financial resources and without government support, to compensate for losses that would drive the company into economic ruin. Whether the definition “firm in difficulty” exists is described in the following “Community guidelines on state aid for rescuing and restructuring firms in difficulty”:

 

  • Decline in sales

  • Increase in loss

  • Profit reduction

  • Growing debt

  • The capital reduction has been more than 50% over the entire period since the company was founded and more than 25% in the last 12 months

  • The conditions for opening insolvency proceedings provided for in national law are met.

  • Growing inventories, overcapacities

  • Decrease to the point of loss of the net asset value

Good to know: Even companies that are not currently, but in the near future, such as B. due to the loss of a major customer, are in trouble, can receive funding under the conditions for companies in difficulty. The situation must be presented with budget figures in the advisory report to be prepared and also explained accordingly.

 

If these criteria apply, then please call the Chamber of Commerce responsible for you and ask for the necessary informational talk over the phone and explain that you would like to submit a BAFA application “company in difficulty”. For the application, enter the date of the information meeting and the BAFA ID # 157184 of the UMSATZSCHMIEDE.

 

If your application is approved, you will receive an e-mail as well as post with BAFA's approval. Then we make an appointment and can get started.

 

Good to know: Follow-up advice for companies in difficulty is additional advice to deepen the measures, to restore performance and competitiveness, on all economic, financial, personnel and organizational questions of corporate management.

Not eligible for application / funding:

Please note before submitting an application:

 

  • Before application companies need to run a free information session with a local sales representative about the prerequisites for funding in trouble. The choice of the regional contact person is left to the respective company. It must be a regional contact person registered with a control center. To do this, you can, for example, contact the responsible chamber of commerce .

  • There must be no more than three months between the interview and the application. If the three months are exceeded, an information meeting must be held again.

  • The control center involved checks the formal funding requirements in advance and informs the company about the result, the conditions of the funding and the submission deadlines for the proof of use. She then forwards the documents to the Federal Office of Economics and Export Control (BAFA) for a decision.

  • Advice can only be started after receiving this non-binding prospect of funding, otherwise no subsidy can be granted. Retroactive funding is excluded. The conclusion of a contract on the measure to be provided also counts as the beginning of the consultation.
