Subsidy Control

I understand that my application for a grant from the Key Fund is subject to the laws applying to subsidies that the grant is made available as “minimal financial assistance” and that, therefore, my application must satisfy the conditions applying to minimal financial assistance. 

I further understand that subsidies that exceed the limit on minimal financial assistance may be unlawful and that my business may be required to make repayments of any unlawful subsidy. 

I confirm that I have listed below the total amount of all forms of public subsidy received by my business in the past three years and I acknowledge that the Key Fund will use this information to determine whether my application meets the conditions allowing payment of minimal financial assistance.

To be eligible to receive certain types of publicly funded business funding and support, we will need to establish whether you can receive a subsidy within the regime set out in the Subsidy Control Act 2022 (and if relevant the Trade and Co-operation Agreement (TCA) between the United Kingdom and the European Union).

We hereby notify you that:

(a)  if your application is supported, we would be proposing to give you a subsidy by way of minimal financial assistance,

(b)  the gross value amount of the assistance will be confirmed at the point of making a written offer, and

(c)  we are seeking your confirmation that any eventual payment to you will not cause you to have received more than £315,000 attributable to minimal or SPEI financial assistance in total in the current and two preceding financial years (beginning on 1^st April).  (SPEI assistance relates to services of public economic interest, and this will have been explained in the context of the award of any such funding.)

Please note, we are unable to provide you with any funding until we receive the confirmation referred to in the previous paragraph.

Potentially any assistance you may have received from a public body might be a subsidy. This could be from Central, Regional, Development Governments or Agencies or Local Council. If you are not sure whether any assistance you have received is a subsidy, and whether it qualifies as minimal financial assistance, please clarify with the body which granted the assistance.

The Regulations allow an entity to receive up to £315,000 as minimal financial assistance over any period of three financial years.  This is subject to cumulation rules and any SPEI assistance, EU de minimis aid or SAFA subsidy given under the TCA will reduce the scope for receipt of subsidy.

Please confirm the amount of subsidy or state aid your business has been granted within the current and two preceding financial years beginning on 1^st April:

For information, full details of the UK Subsidy Rules can be found here

UK SUBSIDY CONTROL: SMALL AMOUNTS OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE DECLARATION

Please complete the table below listing any other subsidies (particularly grants/loans/equity packages) received by your business from public (UK Government or European) sources in the past three years and tick the above box. The Key Fund will then be able to check the minimal financial assistance position as part of the eligibility assessment process.

Please note that at our discretion, as part of the application process we may require you to take legal advice confirming that any funding we provide to you further to this application will not breach the rules relating to subsidy control.

In certain cases, the recipient of funding may consider that use of the minimal financial assistance exemption is not appropriate in the circumstances.  Where this is the case, please let us know as soon as possible.
