Subsidy for Entrepreneurs

Want to grow your business, develop your staff or organization?

Did you know that as a company with 1-250 employees, you can take advantage of several growth subsidies? The government naturally wants you to succeed as an entrepreneur, your business to grow at home or abroad, and your employees (if you have any) to grow with you. This applies to both start-ups and older companies, sole trader and medium sized business. We’ve briefly listed the possibilities for you.

15 types of grant

We currently help entrepreneurs supported by 15 (!) types of grant, but we also help them unsubsidized. Ask about options that fit your business and what you want to work on! A coaching or consulting program at Brilliant Work is often 33 – 92% subsidized. It is also possible to apply for several subsidies at the same time.
