No one imagined that there would be at least a thousand companies that submitted the application to obtain the contributions of “Doing business in Sicily – Fainsicilia”, which involved twenty-six million euros. Now is the time to educate and evaluate requests. The offices are already working to replenish the financial allocation with resources from the 2021/27 ERDF and from the Cohesion Agreement under the 2021/27 Development and Cohesion Fund just signed with the national government. The objective is to triple the available budget and be able to finance the greatest number of new businesses.
The decree, signed by the general manager of the department, provides ten days to formulate any observations to be addressed to Irfis (PEC: [email protected]), to report inconsistencies in the production phase of the list or errors in filling out the application of a purely formal nature.
The announcement provides non-repayable benefits of up to 90 percent for new entrepreneurs, young people and women, who intend to invest in Sicily with new projects or expanding existing ones. The cost of a single intervention can vary from 50 to 300 thousand euros and must be implemented within 24 months of financing.
