Undervalued financial instrument among Ukrainian business

80% of potential grant recipients in Ukraine are either skeptical about grants or they are not clear how to use this tool effectively. Businesses are accustomed to traditional financing methods such as personal funds, bank loans, and investments. Grants represent a significant opportunity for you!

Why grants are not often used in Ukraine?

Lack of knowledge

Grants are a relatively new and underutilized tool for Ukrainian businesses. Many entrepreneurs do not know about grants or do not know how to gain them.

Lack of expertise

Receiving grants is a painstaking process that requires preparing a detailed business plan and documents and contains many specific details that only grant writers know about.

Lack of time

Business is drowning in operational and routine tasks and does not have free specialists on the team who can deal exclusively with grants.

Lack of strategic vision

Entrepreneurs focus on quick decisions without paying attention to long-term planning.

What is a grant?

This is irrevocable money provided to the organization for the implementation of a certain project. Financial resources are provided in return for the results of the project, which should be necessary and important for certain target groups.

What can be financed with the grant within the project?

Access to new markets and export development

Training and professional development for your team

Purchase and/or modernization of equipment to increase the competitiveness of the enterprise.
