What is a startup subsidy?

It is a one-time, non-refundable financial support from the Labor Fund, granted by District Employment Offices to unemployed persons who want to start their own business. The funds can be used to purchase equipment, goods, and services necessary to start the business.

What is the maximum subsidy amount?

The maximum subsidy amount is 6 times the average salary, which currently means about 45,000 - 54,000 PLN depending on the current average salary. The exact amount is determined individually by each Employment Office.

Who can apply for the subsidy?

Persons registered as unemployed at the District Employment Office who have not run a business in the last 12 months and have not previously received funds from the Labor Fund for this purpose can apply.

What documents are needed?

Basic documents include: completed subsidy application, detailed business plan, specification of planned expenses, and any documents confirming qualifications. Our system will help you prepare all required documents.

How long does the process take?

The Employment Office has 30 days to review the application from the date of submission. After a positive decision, you sign a contract and receive funds to your account. You must start your business after receiving the subsidy, not before.

How to write a good business plan?

A good business plan should include: description of the business and offered products/services, market and competition analysis, marketing strategy, financial plan with revenue and cost forecasts. Our AI will help you create a professional business plan tailored to Employment Office requirements.
