In hospitality the order decides, not the idea

A lease, a fit-out, a kitchen, staff – a hospitality project ties up money within weeks. But funding programmes almost always start before the first contract. On top of that: in this industry funding is above all regional. Tourism and location funding from your canton, region and municipality is the main route, not the federal level.

What gets clarified first

1

Has anything been signed already?

A lease, a kitchen order, a fit-out contract: the report checks per programme whether that already counts as a project start – and what is still possible from today.

2

Is your location in a funding area?

Regional programmes only apply on an exact match of municipality and canton. A location a few kilometres away can mean a different programme list.

How are you financing the fit-out?

Kitchen, furniture, equipment: if collateral is missing, a guarantee is often the condition for the bank going along at all.
