Business support can take various forms, from applying for a grant to favorable credit terms. Companies can look for funding opportunities at state, federal or local level. For example, KfW is a German development bank that provides both grants and loans to companies. In order to be eligible for a grant program, the company must complete certain tasks and demonstrate that it meets the program's eligibility criteria. Other forms of support may be tax credits, grants, or soft loans provided by governments or local governments. A company can also receive funding from public-private partnerships, where both parties contribute to the financing of the project. Depending on the level of funding needs and the types of grants available, companies should carefully consider their options before deciding on the type of support that is most suitable for them in terms of cost, duration and other favorable terms.
