In the trades the funding is often better than its reputation

For trades and construction there are comparatively many programmes: premiums for setting up a business with a master craftsman qualification, subsidised advice, investment loans for machines and vehicles, and energy programmes for buildings and equipment. Here too the most common mistake is timing – start-up premiums apply before registration, investment funding before the order.

What qualification do you bring?
