Business grants and incentives

Grants and incentives include a range of schemes designed to support business investment, innovation, digitalisation, safety, production growth and new ventures.

Grants, subsidized loans, tax credits and other forms of incentive each have different eligibility requirements, beneficiaries, eligible expenses and deadlines. The existence of a funding call therefore does not automatically mean that a company can access it.

Cavallo&Partner begins by assessing the project and the company’s characteristics to identify potentially applicable incentives. Factors considered include industry, company size, location, type and amount of investment, expected timelines, and the conditions set out in the relevant regulations or call for applications.

This makes it possible to focus on the tools that are genuinely aligned with the company’s business plan.

Preliminary investment analysis

Before submitting an application, it is important to check that the project meets the requirements of the specific incentive.

The firm reviews the investment programme, financing structure and projected costs to check that they meet the requirements of the selected funding scheme. This preliminary review can also identify any conditions to meet before work begins or spending commitments are made.

Support with grants and incentives in Foggia is therefore incorporated into business planning, rather than treating funding as separate from the company’s financial and commercial objectives.

Regional, national and EU incentives

Cavallo&Partner monitors and assesses opportunities that may be relevant to businesses in connection with their planned investment programmes.

Depending on availability and eligibility requirements, the options that may be considered include:

• regional calls for applications issued by the Apulia Region;
• programmes funded through European funds;
• national business grants and incentives;
• programmes managed by Invitalia;
• INAIL calls and incentives;
• incentives linked to investment in production and digitalisation;
• tax credits available for certain types of investment;
• tools to support the creation and development of new businesses;
• funding schemes linked to national and European programmes, including the PNRR where applicable.

Since calls for applications, funding allocations and eligibility requirements may change over time, each opportunity is checked against the rules in force when the project is submitted.

Investment incentives in Puglia

Businesses in Puglia may be eligible for regional programmes supporting competitiveness, innovation, digitalisation, capital investment and SME growth.

Cavallo&Partner assesses the opportunities available under regional programmes and checks whether the investment meets the requirements of each scheme. The analysis covers not only the company’s eligibility, but also the types of eligible expenditure, the project budget and any applicable restrictions.

The firm can support both established businesses looking to expand or innovate and those setting up a new business venture.

Tax credits and investment incentives

Business incentive schemes may also include tax credits for certain types of investment or specific geographical areas.

Using these measures requires a careful review of the eligibility requirements, eligible expenses, calculation methods and procedures for claiming the benefit.

Particular attention is given to incentives for investment in productive activities in southern Italy and schemes for purchasing the goods, technology and equipment needed to grow a business.

Each measure is assessed in light of the company’s circumstances and whether it can be combined with other incentives.

Nuova Sabatini and investments in capital goods

One of the tools that can support SME investment is the Nuova Sabatini, which helps businesses acquire capital goods through loans or leasing linked to business investment.

Consulting makes it possible to check whether a company’s proposed project meets the requirements for accessing the incentive and to assess the incentive as part of the broader financial plan.

Purchasing machinery, plant, equipment, hardware, software and technology may require a combination of company resources, bank credit and incentive schemes.

INAIL calls for proposals and workplace safety investments

Cavallo&Partner also reviews opportunities available through INAIL calls for proposals for investments to improve health and safety conditions in the workplace.

Depending on the requirements of each call for applications, projects and eligible businesses may vary.

Here too, a preliminary analysis is essential to check that the requirements are met, costs are eligible and the necessary documentation is in place.

Support from assessment through to application

The service goes beyond identifying a grant scheme. Once the project’s eligibility for the incentive has been confirmed, Cavallo&Partner helps the client prepare the information and documents required for the application.

This may include a financial analysis of the investment, checking eligible costs, preparing the information required for the application and helping manage the obligations set out under the scheme.

Subsidised finance in Foggia is therefore integrated with the Firm’s other business, financial and tax expertise, making it possible to assess an investment not only in terms of the incentive available, but also its affordability for the company.
