Participating indviduals and/or companies will be expected to report outputs relating to this programme including projected job growth and sign documentation provided.
Support provided to your organisation through the Covid Bounce-Back Programme is considered to fall under the Small Amounts of Financial Assistance Allowance. This allowance is the equivalent of 325,000 Special Drawing Rights, (approx. £332,000 Sterling) to a single economic actor over any period of three fiscal years and includes any subsidy previously received as de minimis aid under the previous EU State Aid regime or as Small Amounts of Financial Assistance under Article 364(4) of the UK – EU Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA) from any subsidy awarding body. The value of the subsidy intended to be provided to you under the Covid Bounce-Back Programme is forecast to be a maximum of £13,860 which at the current European conversion rate is €16,226. Please note, this the maximum a company can access as part of this programme. The average value of support will depend on the individual customer journey and development requirements. Upon registration you will be required to confirm that your organisation will not exceed the Small Amounts of Financial Assistance Allowance limit by accessing this programme.
