Everyone comes up with their ideas which nearly never come into practice, but sometimes they’re made a reality. Finding someone to back you up financially can be one of the biggest starting points in your business venture.

Malta Enterprise can help with its Business Start scheme. Start-ups that are still in their early development phase but aren’t backed by a formal business plan, are eligible for a grant of up to €10,000 which can be used to develop business proposals.

A maximum grant of €200,000 can be awarded to start-ups if they’re presenting a Business Plan and are considered to be economically viable by Malta Enterprise.

This incentive will be available until the 31^st of December 2023.

SMEs are supported by part-funding expenses suffered by businesses for consultancy obtained from external consultancy service providers registered under the scheme.

The consultancy services covered by the grant are meant to primarily address services about formulating and executing the business plan and feasibility study support, including assistance with sourcing financing for a such business plan.

Consultancy services that are of a continuous or periodic nature, or related to the undertaking’s usual operating costs, such as routine tax consultancy services, regular legal services, and advertising will not be considered.

The maximum grant is capped at €4,000, with part-financing eligible expenditure up to 80%.

The deadline for this scheme is on the 28^th of April 2023.
