Sabatini Law, promoted by the Ministry of Enterprises and Made in Italy, represents a valuable facilitation measure aimed at Italian micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The main objective of this initiative is to streamline access to credit and provide tangible support to the national production system.
The interest rate subsidy is provided for investments in machinery, equipment, plants, productive assets, hardware, software, and digital technologies.
Who are the beneficiaries?
The following requirements form the basis for allowing Italian SMEs to access the growth opportunities offered by the Sabatini Law, ensuring, at the same time, regulatory compliance and financial stability for the beneficiary companies.
● Regular establishment and registration in the Business Register or in the Trade Business Register.
● Full exercise of their rights, avoiding situations of voluntary liquidation or bankruptcy proceedings aimed at liquidation.
● Demonstration of compliance with European regulations, avoiding the receipt or non-reimbursement of aids deemed illegal or incompatible by the European Commission.
● Stable financial condition and non-classification as companies in difficulty.
In summary, the Sabatini Law supports investments in new industrial and commercial equipment, other assets, software, and digital technologies. However, it is important to note that expenses related to lands and buildings, used or regenerated goods, ongoing immobilizations, and advances are not eligible.
