STATE AID
State aid measures are designed to promote economic development and support commercial entities. State aid usually covers financial assistance. Both small and large businesses can benefit from it.
However, to ensure fair competition and prevent market distortion, such aid must be granted in compliance with strict local and EU rules. As legal advisors for businesses, FORT is well-equipped to provide expert guidance in this field.
Understanding State Aid and Its Significance
State aid refers to grants, subsidies, tax breaks, or other favourable financial arrangements. It can be any form of financial support provided by public authorities to private businesses. This is an essential tool for fostering economic growth and supporting struggling sectors.
Aid is closely regulated. Only those with excellent compliance can expect positive administrative actions from regulators and grant distributors.
Navigating the Complexities of State Aid Regulations
The rules governing aid programs are usually very complex. They can be challenging to navigate without professional legal guidance. Our attorneys do just that. FORT provides expert advice on how you can increase your chances and get better outcomes.
Leveraging State Support for Business Success
Our legal experts can help clients identify and apply for available state support for business, advising on how to:
- Meet eligibility criteria;
- Speed up the application process;
- Ensure compliance with relevant regulations.
By offering tailored legal guidance, we enable clients to maximise the benefits of state aid while minimising the risks associated with non-compliance.
Protecting Client Interests in State Aid Matters
In addition to providing expert advice, we work diligently to protect our client's interests, ensuring they receive fair treatment and have access to the resources they need to succeed.
You can trust our legal advisors for maximum commitment to all state aid legal matters.
