  • pre-application form information in '²non-Annex I' added

The maximum rate of grant your business will be eligible for is determined by the size of the business: large, medium, small or micro and by the activity or products your business produces.

Capital grants – investments in physical assets

Business size ¹Annex I inputs to ¹Annex I outputs ¹Annex I inputs to ²Non-annex I outputs
Large enterprise 40% Ineligible
Medium enterprise 40% 10%
Small enterprise 40% 20%
Micro enterprise 40% 20%

¹ Annex I – products are agricultural products as defined in Annex I of the Treaty of the Functioning of the European Union. More detailed information can be found in:

Technical guidance

List of eligible agricultural products

² Non-Annex I – if your output is not an Annex I product, then medium, small and micro companies are eligible but the grant rate is lower. If a negligible element of your outputs are non-Annex I, overall the outputs may be considered to be Annex I for grant funding purposes.

In these circumstances you may wish to complete the pre-application form in advance of the full application for clarification as the maximum rate of grant you could be eligible for will vary.

Non-capital grants (including co-operation)

Further information regarding non-capital grants and co-operation projects will be published later in 2015.
