💰 Grant Rates and Application Process

How are Grant Rates Determined?

In the IPARD program, the base grant rate varies between 50% and 65%. However, this rate can increase up to 70% according to the following criteria:

Being a young investor (under 40 years old).

Being a woman investor.

The investment being made in a mountainous area.

Being a producer organization or a member thereof.

Additionally, all investments are exempt from VAT, SCT, Customs Duty, and Corporate Tax.

How Does the Application Process Work?

IPARD supports begin with "Call for Applications" announced by ARDSI at specific times. The process is extremely detailed and rule-based:

Monitoring the Call Announcement: New call periods to be opened during the year are monitored.

Project Preparation: A detailed Business Plan, architectural/technical projects, and feasibility report are prepared in accordance with the call guide.

Submission of the Application Package: The prepared project file is submitted to the relevant ARDSI Provincial Coordination Unit before the call closing date.

Evaluation and Contract: The project is reviewed by ARDSI experts, and if approved, a grant contract is signed with the investor.

Implementation of the Investment: The investor completes the project using their own resources or a loan.

Payment Request and Grant Payment: After the investment is finished, a "Payment Request Package" is prepared, final checks are made, and ARDSI deposits the grant amount into the investor's account.

Turn Your Dream Investment into Reality with EU Grants

Although IPARD projects offer high grant rates, their preparation and implementation processes require technical expertise and diligence.
