Compensation for interest for economic operators engaged in alternative activities
What are the benefits?
Assistance from the state budget is provided in order to create more favourable conditions for economic operators to use services of financial institutions, by compensating for part of the interest paid on loans and financial lease (leasing) services for financing of investments, guaranteed by INVEGA.
Who can apply?
This assistance is intended for economic operators engaged in alternative agricultural activities (i. e. activities related to the food sector, forestry and any other activity that is not classified as an agricultural activity) in rural areas, provided that they have registered an agricultural holding in their own name.
Criteria for an economic operator‘s eligibility for the aid:
- Meets the criteria for a small or medium enterprise;
- Does not participate in certain measures under the Rural Development Plan for 2004–2006 or the National Rural Development Programme for 2007–2013;

Please complete the application for compensation of part of interest. The financial institution will submit it to us together with other documents on the provision of the guarantee.
The application for compensation of part of interest is submitted together with the application for guarantee (as an annex to the Guarantee Application Form).
