Subsidy for Business Consulting: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Learn how small and medium-sized enterprises can get a portion of their business coaching costs reimbursed through this government subsidy.

This scheme provides financial support to businesses that want to hire professional consultants to help improve their operations or strategy.

Who it's for

This program is designed specifically for small and medium-sized enterprises.

What you get

You can receive a reimbursement to help cover the costs of professional business coaching.

What it costs you

You are responsible for paying the full cost of the consulting services upfront. Once the work is completed, you can claim back a portion of that money, typically between 50% and 80% of the total cost.

The catch to know

You cannot start your coaching sessions before you have received official approval for the subsidy. If you hire a consultant and begin the work before the approval is granted, you may lose your right to the reimbursement.

How to apply

  1. Identify a qualified business consultant to work with.
  2. Submit your request for approval through the official channels.
  3. Wait for the official approval to be granted before starting any coaching.
  4. Complete the consulting work and submit your claim for reimbursement.
