| Business promotion schemes¹ | | Bad Bentheim is a so-called GA Assisted Region within the framework of the federal/state Joint Task (Gemeinschaftsaufgabe or GA) "For the Improvement of the Regional Economic Structure". With GA funding, the settlement of new and the expansion of existing enterprises from the production and service sectors are particularly subsidised. If the requirements are met (such as supraregional sales, the creation of new jobs or consolidation of existing jobs), an investment grant of up to 15 % of the investment costs (real estate, buildings, fittings, machinery) can be granted. | | | Link to promotion info: | Information from the NBank about the GA funding
