    eligible project costs

At most two applications until the end of 2027, one for digitalisation and one for IT security.

Liberal professions such as tax advisors or architects are excluded. The exception: they operate in a commercial legal form, such as a GmbH, and are therefore subject to trade tax. Medical practices are excluded in any case.

How a funded project with us works

  1. 01

    Clarify project and costs

    In a first call we clarify goal and scope. You then receive a project description and cost plan from us as the basis for your application.

  2. 02

    You file the application

    Using your company's ELSTER organisation certificate. Applications by service providers or consultants are not permitted.

  3. Confirmation of receipt: Place the order only from here

    03

    Order only after the confirmation of receipt

    From the confirmation of receipt you may start at your own risk. An order placed before the application rules out funding.

  4. 04

    Delivery and evidence

    We deliver the project and support you with the documents you need for the payout.

In practice

A heating and plumbing company in Bavaria used Plus-tier funding to cut quote preparation from about 3 hours to 20 minutes.
