Financially strong companies should help companies affected by the corona crisis by extending payment terms, says State Secretary Mona Keijzer of Economic Affairs. In the meantime, the first companies are falling as a result of the corona crisis. Corona has given the last push because if you have no reserves, it now goes very quickly and support measures come too late.
the government does not simply provide support measures
The goal is that companies do not fail. Entrepreneurs who appeal to the government's support measures must first arrange themselves financially. Companies pay in advance commission of sometimes thousands or tens of thousands of euros, only then does the government guarantee the money that entrepreneurs borrow.
This concerns the BMKB scheme, whereby the government largely guarantees entrepreneurs who borrow money from the bank. There is uncertainty and uncertainty among self-employed entrepreneurs about the temporary financial compensation or support measures from the Tozo scheme.
one-off contribution of 4.000 euros
The Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate (EZK) today opened the previously announced scheme for Entrepreneurship Affected Sectors (COVID-19) (TOGS). This cabinet measure, previously announced as Emergency Desk, is for entrepreneurs who are directly affected by the measures taken by the cabinet during the corona crisis. Companies receive a one-off subsidy of 4.000 euros in particular to pay their fixed costs. Minister Eric Wiebes and State Secretary Mona Keijzer (EZK) have informed the House of Representatives about this today.
branches covered by this scheme
Sectors now eligible include food and beverage outlets, cinemas, hair and beauty care (including hairdressers, pedicures, makeup artists), travel brokers and travel organizations, driving school owners, saunas, solariums, swimming pools, fitness centers, sports clubs and sporting events and certain private cultural institutions such as museums, circus, theaters, theaters and music schools. This concerns companies located outside the home. The only exception are food and beverage outlets, for example a café where the owner, tenant or tenant lives upstairs.
Applications can be submitted by entrepreneurs via rvo.nl/tegemoetkomingcorona from Friday, March 27, 2020 to Friday, June 26, 2020. The company must be established in the Netherlands and the main activity as mentioned above must be evident from the registration of reference date 15 March 2020 in the trade register.
