Compare the options
| Measure or option | Status or deadline | When it fits | Next action |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hardware and software | Productive investment | Assets for the company’s production facility. | Specify function and location of use. |
| Financing | Bank or intermediary | Asset purchase or lease. | Agree application, order and delivery timing. |
Define the productive investment
State which assets the company needs and where they will be used. For software, describe functions, licensing and use, separating services from the purchased asset.
Prepare the estimate
Ask for hardware, software and related work to be itemised. Keep content, campaigns and routine maintenance separate so the lender can assess each cost.
Compare the loan and contribution
The scheme combines a loan or lease with a Ministry contribution. Include repayments, company funds and disbursement timing in the investment plan.
Agree the purchase sequence
Check with the bank or intermediary how to coordinate the application, order and delivery. Put those dates in the software or hardware supplier’s contract.
Organise handover
Keep the purchase and commissioning documents. For software, also request the licence list, company access credentials and instructions for its operators. Test the purchased functions before completing delivery.
Give the bank or intermediary a schedule of assets, suppliers, costs and deliveries, separate from recurring services.
