How to apply for non-repayable loans?

What are non-repayable loans?

Non-repayable loans are cash loans that do not require a repayment obligation of the disbursed capital and its interests and do not provide for the availability of a guarantee or a guarantor. In fact, they can be granted to anyone who requests it, without prior assessment of income availability. Generally, an assessment of the applicant's creditworthiness is not required and the signature of a guarantor is not required. They are provided by public bodies, the European Union, the State, Regions and Municipalities and serve to encourage the entrepreneurial initiative of various subjects.

Who are they intended for?

The main categories to which non-repayable loans are intended are made up of unemployed, of young people, of women and startup. In any case, they are aimed at encouraging private economic and entrepreneurial initiatives that encounter greater difficulties in accessing the labor market. But there are also funds intended for already established companies that decide to invest in strategic sectors, such as non-repayable loans for agriculture and technological innovation.

The requirements for obtaining a non-repayable loan are indicated in the call but, in general, are:
