At Masters of Scale, we understand that the cost for support by our Masters, Experts or Fractional may burden the cashflow of your company. But the good news is that there are government funds in The Netherlands as well as other EU countries available to finance this! In addition to our exceptional services, we can also guide you through the potential financial support available from Dutch governmental organizations. Discover how you can leverage subsidies and grants to make our support more affordable and feasible for your company.

The Dutch government offers a variety of subsidies and grants aimed at stimulating innovation, sustainability, and international growth. Whether you are a small business, a startup, or an established enterprise, these financial aids can significantly reduce your costs and accelerate your company’s success.

Types of Subsidies and Grants

Different options for different business purposes
  • Innovation and Research: For companies engaged in research and development (R&D) in the lower range TRL levels 1-4, there are several subsidies that can offset costs before your company is making revenue to cover R&D costs..
  • Business Development and Expansion: For companies with services or products at higher TRL levels 5-9, funds are available for business growth, export, and regional development which can provide the necessary support to expand your operations.

Success Stories

Strategic Support with Funds from Dutch Good Growth Fund

Some of our clients have successfully secured funding for Masters of Scale services, leading to accelerated innovation, strategic support and financial planning for our clients. 

For example, we recently worked with a Netherlands based customer who applied and was granted funds from the Dutch Good Growth Fund Technical Assistance (TA) subsidy. During the project, Masters of Scale first conducted a Scaling Readiness Assessment and then further supported the company in the areas of growth strategy, business model, go-to-market and fundraising. While in this case the customer wrote the application themselves, we did an in depth review of the submission and provided valuable feedback. We also developed several deliverables that were needed at the end of the project for the subsidy provider.

In Which Situations is Government Funding Valuable?

The application and review process for government funding can be lengthy and in the Netherlands it will on average be 10 weeks or longer before you have received the money if your application is approved. Therefore, government funding is the most appropriate for strategic growth plans like expanding into new geographies and other types of future scaling.

Please also note that Dutch governmental funding is available for organisations officially registered with the Chamber of Commerce in the Netherlands. If your organisation is based outside the Netherlands, we can also guide and assist you in receiving local or European funding.
