It sounds like you have to spend a lot of time proving that what you are doing qualifies for these bonuses. Seems mostly like a haven for those who have the connections and know-how to get through the approval process.
- nikanj 8y agoIn Scandinavia, there's a thriving cottage industry of "government grant consultants". They'll fix up all the paperwork for these bonuses, for a low % success fee. No bonus, no fee. I'd be very surprised if France didn't have the same. Writing the applications is really easy, when you have already written a few dozen and have the templates ready.
- tluyben2 8y agoThey have this in most EU countries. They work fine and it is worth the no cure no pay fee as they usually score while small companies on their own usually do not.
- yaantc 8y agoYes, there' the same in France. It's the most efficient way to get started really, otherwise you'd waste too much time learning the process. And as you say, once you've done it a few times it can be done internally.
- wodenokoto 8y agoNever heard of that, what keywords should I search for, if I want to get in contact with someone who can assess if my company is eligible for a government grant and help me write one?
- rhodysurf 8y agoThe same thing happens in the US. Management at my company spends time maximizing deals with government to get bonuses and tax breaks etc. I would be shocked if this isn’t the norm
