SME e-wallet

Our training courses and our advice are eligible for full or partial subsidization through SME e-wallet.

SME e-wallet

The SME e-wallet is a subsidy measure through which you – as an entrepreneur – receive financial support for the purchase of services that improve the quality of your company. Small businesses receive 30% support, a medium-sized company 20% support. The maximum aid ceiling per year is EUR 7,500 in aid. Ready2Improve is a registered service provider for SME Portfolio for the Advice branch under registration number DV.A215549 and for the Training branch under registration number DV.O215548.

For whom?

SMEs established in Flanders can benefit from the subsidy from the Flemish Government. If you pay via SME e-wallet, you must apply for the SME e-wallet immediately after receipt of the invoice. You undertake to respect the shortest possible lead time for the payment request.

As a customer, you are responsible for the correct use of the SME e-wallet and for obtaining this subsidy. In the event of irregularities, incorrect or illegal use of these subsidies, the customer is responsible for the consequences and will be obliged to pay for the services of the service provider in full. If – in case of incorrect or irregular use of the SME e-wallet and its subsidies – there are negative consequences for Ready2Improve, the customer can be held liable for this. Any consequences and the associated costs will be borne by the customer.

The VAT amount must be transferred immediately to the account number stated on the invoice.
