Support measures

SME portfolio

As from January 1st 2009, entrepreneurs are given the opportunity via the PME portfolio to obtain subsidies up to 15.000 euros a year not only for education, but also for advice in connection with the management of their companies, technological knowledge and international entrepreneurship. As far as education is concerned, a company can send in training projects to the value of 5.000 euros. The Flemish Government will refund half of this amount. You can also ask support for statutory training courses and even limited catering costs are taken into consideration. As far as the 'education' pillar is concerned, catering costs up to 25 euros per person and per day commenced are allowed. Ask for support online via www.kmo-portefeuille.be. Do this before the start of the training or within 14 calendar days of the start date. For more information: see ‘Training’. Graydon Belgium is a recognized service provider for training courses registered under number DV.0105288.
