1. What are the real benefits of incentive finance for my company?

Subsidized finance is not just an opportunity—it is a strategic necessity for companies aiming for real growth.

Through non-repayable grants, tax credits, and favorable financing, it supports investments in innovation, sustainability, digitalization, and internationalization.

A true ally to reduce costs, accelerate development, and strengthen competitiveness in a rapidly evolving market.

2. How can I know if my company qualifies for grants or tax incentives?

We offer a free preliminary assessment to evaluate your eligibility for available grant programs and active tax credits.

Our personalized approach allows us to identify the most suitable measures for your business.

3. Do you also handle the technical and documentation aspects of funded projects?

Yes. We manage the full process—from project design to the preparation of technical and fiscal documentation, all the way to final reporting.

We work in close collaboration with legal advisors, tax consultants, and academic partners to ensure solid, compliant, and auditable projects.

4. What is the difference between tax credits and evaluated incentives?

Tax credits are automatically applicable benefits, used to offset taxes based on eligible investments.

Evaluated incentives require the submission of a project proposal that undergoes evaluation by a commission. Only if approved is the funding granted.

A positive evaluation provides legal certainty and protection during audits, reducing risk and increasing the robustness of the incentive.

5. How long does it take to access an incentive measure?

Timelines vary by type. Some tax credits can be used within a few months, while regional or national calls may require longer procedures.

We support you throughout the process, ensuring deadlines, requirements, and documentation are always properly managed.
