Please provide the total Minimum Financial Assistance (Subsidy Control) you have received over the last three years (excluding funding related to this application).

This project involves a Minimum Financial Assistance (MFA) subsidy under the Subsidy Control Act (2022). Minimal Financial Assistance (MFA) allows public authorities to award low value subsidies without needing to comply with the majority of the subsidy control requirements.

MFA has a threshold for the amount of public funding/publicly funded support a business is entitled to receive. The threshold is £315,000 over an applicable 3 financial year period and the Act defines a financial year as a period of 12 months ending on 31 March. The applicable 3-year period is the elapsed part of the current financial year (i.e. from 1 April), and the previous two financial years immediately preceding the current financial year.

I declare that over a rolling three-year period, I have previously received less than £315,000 Minimum Financial Assistance (Subsidy Control) and I confirm that I am authorised to sign on behalf of the company / organisation named in this form. I confirm that I accept that if the company / organisation named in this form fails to meet the eligibility requirements, the company / organisation may become liable to repay the full price that would otherwise be payable in respect of the services received.
