Nowadays, the tendency to attract investments in business has increased. There are various options for attracting funds to your own business. And one of them is receiving a grant. Today we want to tell you how to apply for a grant for a greenhouse. This is especially relevant for those who have a plot of land at their disposal, have the skills to grow products, research new technologies and want to improve and delight others with products of their own production. And actually how to get a powerful investment in the form of a grant from the state for this matter, let's consider further.
According to the current legislation, natural persons, entrepreneurs and legal entities that do not engage in economic activity in the territories of active hostilities or temporarily occupied territories can apply for grants. Such persons must meet certain criteria:
• lack of sanctions,
• lack of participation in industries related to the production of weapons or alcoholic beverages,
• absence of problems with budget debt.
Thus, one of the important directions of the use of grant aid is the support of the agricultural sector. Grants can be allocated to support the construction of new greenhouses. In order to issue a grant for a greenhouse, at the time of application, you must already have a greenhouse with an area of 0.4 to 2.4 hectares, plus construction must be completed within one year.
And now we want to pay attention to what obligations to the state arise as a result of receiving such a grant - a question we hear most often at consultations. Therefore, the persons who received the grant are obliged to create jobs in the amount of less than 4 permanent jobs and 10 seasonal jobs per 1 ha of the area of the modular greenhouse, to pay taxes and fees, and to carry out their activities within three years after the completion of construction.
By the way, if you have difficulties with getting acquainted with the terms of obtaining a grant or submitting an application, you can always contact us for help.
An equally relevant question under our consultation is the following: "What can you spend these funds on?". Therefore, the grant aid is intended for expenses for:
• construction of a greenhouse and its commissioning;
• purchase of necessary equipment and materials (planting material, seeds, technological equipment);
• delivery of such equipment and materials.
Note that it is possible to receive a grant in an amount not exceeding 70% of the cost of the project specified in the application. It follows from this that part of the funds must be accumulated in the greenhouse independently. In general, assistance is provided from 2 to 7 million hryvnias, depending on the declared area of the greenhouse.
We are often asked: what will happen if the conditions of the grant are not respected at some stage of its implementation? In this case, grant recipients may be required to return the amount received. However, the plus side is that grant aid is tax-free, which makes it an attractive form of business investment.
Thus, grants are a powerful mechanism capable not only of supporting entrepreneurial activity, but also of actively developing the economy, which is especially relevant in the context of the current situation. That is why we believe that the construction of new greenhouses through the use of grant funds is an unconditional step forward in the development of an economically strong and competitive country. Well, we will as accurately and effectively as possible contribute to your quick receipt of investments, providing quick and high-quality consultations in the preparation of a grant for a greenhouse and not only that.
