Your business is outside Funchal and support never seems to reach your parish
Madeira's territorial line funds small and medium investments in rural and peripheral areas of the region. We check whether your location opens access to this support.
- Funding smaller investments that do not fit the large incentive systems
- Criteria designed for the region's low-density areas
- Less competition than in national calls

Why this funding is worth exploring
The incentive reduces the financial burden of the investment and accelerates projects already planned by the business.
Built for small investments
Covers works, equipment and modernisation of local businesses without requiring large-scale projects.
Location as an advantage
Being outside urban centres becomes an access criterion rather than a disadvantage.
Keeping activity in the territory
Supports businesses that keep jobs and services in their parishes.
