The concept of “net debt” is used as a fiscal risk indicator, including outstanding liabilities adjusted with amounts recoverable from the state budget.
Enterprises in difficulty are excluded, including those undergoing insolvency, reorganisation or liquidation, as well as entities with unrecovered illegal aid. Strict compliance with the principle of avoiding double financing is required, along with correct classification as SME (micro, small, medium), depending on workforce and financial indicators.
From a financial perspective, the total budget is EUR 1.7 million, with a ceiling of EUR 17,000 per beneficiary, equivalent to a maximum of approximately 100 fundable SMEs. The exchange rate used is InforEuro, which eliminates foreign exchange volatility risk in budget execution.
The scheme is time-limited, being applicable until 30 June 2026 or until funds are exhausted, with final reimbursements until 31 July 2026.

Verification includes mergers, divisions and the single undertaking concept to prevent artificial fragmentation of economic activity.
