To secure a grant, you will need to fund a proportion of your costs yourself. This varies according to where your business is based and will be either 40 or 50% of the total cost.
The fund can be used to support areas including (but not exclusively limited to):
| • | Market research | |
| • | IP advice | |
| • | Translation services | |
| • | International social media/SEO | |
| • | Trade fairs (where no TAP funding is available) | |
| • | Independent market visits | |
| • | Consultancy and other international commercial services |
Is your business eligible?
| • | The company must be a small or medium sized enterprise (SME) with up to 250 employees | |
| • | No more than 25% of the business is owned by an enterprise which is not a SME | |
| • | Annual turnover does not exceed €50 million or annual balance sheet does not exceed €43 million |
