Europe is good for something after all: the European Union wants to help small and medium-sized enterprises with an EU grant. A special portal on the Internet provides information about EU grants that are awarded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), for example, or the European Social Fund (ESF). The aim of the website is to provide companies with a quick overview of grant options so that they can find urgently needed funds quickly. This may be used to increase equity or simply to guarantee bank loans.
