Support from the Enhance Social Enterprise will be provided under the De Minimis Regulation (1407/2013) which allows businesses to received up to €200,000 of State Aid assistance over a three year period. The State Aid Rules cover ANY public funding that you have received during the current and previous two financial years. We will require you to declare previous funding before receiving support to ensure that the value of the assistance you receive via Enhance Social Enterprise does not bring you over the €200,000 threshold.
