Who qualifies

What it funds

Digester construction, upgrading equipment and grid injection infrastructure.

What disqualifies an applicant

What it stacks with

These instruments combine with this one. Grants generally cannot double-fund the same cost, but different components of the same project may each carry their own support, and tax credits stack more freely with grants than grants do with each other.

Farm Investment Support

Active agricultural undertakings making productive investments in the holding.

 Guarantee · €5,000,000 per enterprise

SME Guarantee Fund

The journey

Where this sits in the sequence

Applications precede expenditure, guarantees precede loans, and the venture is chosen before the property. The order is what protects the money.

P0

Orientation

Establishing who you are, what you hold, and what is therefore within reach.
P1

Selection

Choosing the venture, the place and the legal form, in that order and on evidence.
P2

Formation

Bringing the enterprise into legal existence so that instruments become reachable.
P3

Capitalisation

Assembling the stack in the correct sequence so that each layer supports the next.
P4

Preparation

Building the operational capability the venture will need on its first trading day.
P5

First Revenue

The first paying customer, and the systems that make the second one repeatable.
P6

Consolidation

Reaching the point where trading covers costs and the second revenue leg is established.
P7

Expansion

Growing beyond the founder's own capacity, into export, employment or collective structures.
Film

Applying, without losing the money

The order that protects funding you have already been awarded.

How Italian enterprise support is structured, and why sequence matters more than eligibility. Plays from YouTube. Nothing loads from YouTube until you press play.
From employed to owner

You do not have to resign to begin

The most common route onto this platform starts with a job, a skill and an evening. Ownership is the destination, not the entry requirement.

Stage one

Keep the income

The venture is built around the job rather than instead of it. Registration, the first customer and the funding application all happen while the salary continues.

No change to household income

Stage two

Prove the demand

First revenue arrives alongside the salary. The question stops being whether people want it and becomes how much they pay and how often.

Typically months four to seven

Stage three

Shift the balance

Hours move across as the venture earns. Reducing to part-time employment is a supported route, not a failure of nerve.

Where most instruments land

Stage four

The business carries you

The venture covers the household and begins repaying its capital. Employment becomes a choice rather than a necessity.

Repayment usually begins here

Method

How to read the figures on this page

Everything published here is generated from the research corpus rather than written into the page, so a correction reaches every page that depended on it.

Traceable to a source

Every figure resolves to a named document in the corpus of 47 research files, and every judgement is marked as a judgement rather than dressed as data.

Ranges, not projections

Venture economics are modelled ranges drawn from comparable operations. They describe what this kind of business tends to do, not what yours will do.

Confirm against the call

Ceilings, rates and deadlines change and vary by region. Always confirm against the current call text of the administering body before committing anything.

Not advice

This is decision-support material. It is not legal, tax or financial advice, and using it creates no relationship of professional advice.
