The implementation period is one year from the decision. (Note! If you start the project before Liiver's decision, you do so at your own risk, i.e. if Liiver's decision is negative, you will not receive funding). The application of a minor entrepreneur/youth must have the consent of the guardian/guardian, which is checked by Liiver before the grant is granted.

Amount of aid to be granted

The maximum amount of entrepreneurship support is €500. Support is granted for a maximum of 90 % of the project's costs. In connection with the final report, the applicant submits receipts for the incurred costs to Liiver's office. The applicant must return the unused part of the support. If the project is realized larger than planned, the support will not increase from the granted amount. If the project is canceled completely, the entire support must be returned.

Deciding on support and paying support

A decision on the funded Youth Leaders will be made within about a month of submitting the application. Development association Liiveri ry reserves the right to accept or reject the Youth Leader application. Granted support is paid to the applicant's account within about two weeks of the decision.

Reportage

The condition of the support is that the recipient of the support submits vouchers for the project's expenses and prepares a report on the project. Entrepreneurship support is reported to Liiver using an electronic reporting form. The reporting form can be found on Liiver's website.

In addition to the report, copies of the receipts/invoices for the expenses for which the support has been used are sent to Liiveri. The reporting period is defined in the support decision. Entrepreneurs/young people who do not report by the deadline will be charged the full amount of money back.
