Financing: Grants, subsidies, loans & co.
Certain financial resources are essential for every investment project – regardless of whether it is a business start-up or an investment in an existing company. Without the appropriate equity and/or borrowed capital, economic projects cannot be realised.
Companies in Germany are offered various financing and subsidy options as well as extensive support for this purpose.
Some financial and subsidised funds are available to both founders and existing companies, while others may only be applied for by start-ups, for example.
From the initial idea to the finalised investment, we as the Wunsiedel district economic development agency are at your side and will guide you through the funding and financing jungle, support you with the formalities and/or connect you with our partners or in our network.
Enclosed you will find a summary of the various possibilities:

- Regional development programmes: GRW (Joint Task for the Improvement of Regional Economic Structures)
