State Aid
The provision of funding for these facilities is being made under the Di Minimis State Aid rules which allow for the provision of State Aid.
SMEs may avail of Di Minimis State Aid provided it does not exceed €200,000 in any 3-year period. In the case of certain loans, State Aid may arise by virtue of the discounted interest rate received by the SME on SBCI funding, and if so, the SME will be advised. It is important to note that the Aid is not the amount of the Finance. Full details available here.
