New action, with a budget of EUR 330 million, for the provision of working capital in  catering businesses  in order to purchase raw materials for the first 2-3 months of restarting their operation, implements the  Ministry of Development and Investment .

The action was presented a while ago by the Prime Minister and the leadership of the Ministry of Development to the catering institutions. It is estimated that 34,000 of the 80,000 catering businesses will be subsidized.

The action is financed through the Operational Program "Competitiveness-Entrepreneurship-Innovation" (EPANEK) of the NSRF 2021 - 2027 and concerns companies, small and medium and large, which have the main KAD or KAD with the highest income of the restaurant. Franchise companies are also included, provided that certain regulatory criteria of the NSRF are met.

The amount of aid amounts to 7% of the turnover of the main restaurant KAD or KAD with the highest revenues of 2019.

For companies set up in 2019 or 2020 the amount of aid is defined as follows: [(turnover 2019 or 2020) / number of operating days] * 365 * 7%.

The maximum amount of aid is set at 100,000 euros per VAT and is not allowed.

The criteria for joining the action are:

A) Reduction of annual turnover 2020 in relation to 2019 greater than or equal to 30%.​

B) For companies established in 2019 for the fall in turnover is calculated an equal number of operating days.​

C) Established within 2020, they automatically enter into action.​

D) Businesses. catering that was under construction in 2019 and started to have revenue in 2020 is treated as       established in 2020.​

E) Catering companies that are obliged to submit periodic VAT returns.


The applications will be submitted to the State Aid Information System (PSE) of the Ministry of Development and Investment at www.ependyseis.gr. The start of applications will be determined by the approval of the status by the European Union, while applications will be accepted until July 31, 2021 in order to be able to intensify seasonal businesses.

The evaluation will be immediate and the disbursement of the grant will take place immediately after the application and approval of the application.  Businesses must spend the grant until 31-12-2021. The audit will be based on periodic VAT returns and declared expenses.
