SME – time is money
Small and medium-sized companies can act as a stimulator of the economy. However, when they want to develop, they encounter barriers that they cannot overcome on their own. The main barriers include the following factors[1]:
- lack of financial resources (implementation of the most modern technologies usually requires considerable financial outlays),
- organizational and legal conditions, including, in particular, the lack of transparency of tax law as well as complicated and unclear administrative procedures
- difficulty with employing employees (lack of qualified staff, inflexible labor law, high employment costs)
Fortunately, there are solutions that can help entrepreneurs. But you have to act fast and decisively.
A new source of funding
The digital transformation of the company, especially with increasing competition and restrictions resulting from the ongoing pandemic, sounds tempting. Only now – as part of a competition organized by the Polish Agency for Enterprise Development (PARP) – you can receive as much as 85% of funding for the purchase of selected software, hardware and consulting. The subsidy comes from the European Union funds. The proposal is aimed precisely at small and medium-sized enterprises that have difficulty in obtaining more funds, for example from banks.
From the pool of PLN 110 million, up to PLN 255,000 can be obtained in funding. This can be converted into the costs of preparation, implementation and maintenance of up to a dozen different applications. You can also get the necessary computer equipment or pay for a subscription to cloud solutions. The idea and speed of action are important – applications should reach PARP by October 22, 2021. Project selection criteria, necessary forms and additional information about the competition can be found at: https://www.parp.gov.pl/component/grants/grants/wsparcie-msp-w-obszarze-cyfryzacji-bony-na-cyfryzacje
