Throughout Europe governments have sought to support businesses in financial distress due to COVID-19 in three ways – by giving them money, by lending them money and by relieving them of their bills and financial commitments.  European governments are doing a mix of all three. To provide a quick and easy guide to what support is available to these businesses, our colleagues have prepared a comprehensive and practical European Summary of Government Financial Support guide.

Our guide provides a summary of the government financial support that is available in key European countries, along with an outline of the support available from the European Commission. Our guide provides details about the types and level of funding available, eligibility, how to apply and when it will be available.
