What percentage of your investments or expenditure can be covered by subsidies?
For general investments, you could benefit from subsidies covering between 2.5% and 30% of your investment.
For specific investments, you could benefit from subsidies covering between 30% and 70% of your investment.
For consulting or training costs, you could benefit from subsidies covering between 25% and 80% of your expenditure.
The percentage subsidised consists of a base figure plus supplementary amounts, up to a maximum ceiling.
The subsidies you can receive depend on the following parameters:
- the exemplary social and/or environmental characteristics of your business
- the location of the investment in Brussels (inside or outside the Development Area)
- the size of your business
- the type of expenditure/investment
- whether your business is a start-up
What are exemplary characteristics?
This concept encourages businesses of all kinds to become more environmentally and/or socially responsible. It forms part of a comprehensive and innovative strategy for the Brussels-Capital Region which aims to guide and support Brussels-based businesses through the economic transition.
Three methods of demonstrating exemplary characteristics are:
- holding a certification or label
- receiving support from a recognised public scheme
- encouraging socio-professional integration and training
What is the Development Area?
When it comes to subsidies, Brussels is divided into several areas:
- the Development Area (in blue)
- the rest of Brussels
If you are investing in the Development Area, you are entitled to a larger subsidy from the Brussels-Capital Region.
Be sure to submit your subsidy application well in advance of beginning your project
It’s important to apply for your subsidy before signing a purchase order, accepting a quote, or receiving or paying any invoices. You can’t obtain financial assistance for products or services you’ve already ordered or purchased.
