Due to the corona crisis and the associated existential need of many entrepreneurs, the federal government has initiated numerous corona aid. These are intended to cushion or mitigate the economic consequences of business closings etc. In addition to opportunities, however, there are also many risks lurking here.

What are the risks?
Particularly with the bridging aid III, caution is required
- There are no legal basisbut only the FAQs (https://www.ueberbrueckungshilfe-unternehmen.de/UBH/Navigation/DE/Home/home.html). The explanations in it are unfortunately very vague on many points, so that Questions of doubt in practically every application appear. Often with a high impact in terms of amount! The “hotline for checking third parties” is usually not very helpful, as the processors do not provide any information beyond the FAQs and only point out that “the subsumption is incumbent on the checking third party”.
The main questions of doubt are:- Are the client's costs even eligible?
- Is the drop in sales due to the corona
- The FAQs were published by the BMWi permanently changed or tightened, even afterwards. Some of my applications contain cost items that were probably uncritical at the time of application and approval, but are no longer considered eligible by the approval office (e.g. advance payment invoices).
Basic features of the help
November and December aid:
Sales reimbursement for companies that were no longer able to make sales from November 02.11.2020nd, 75 due to the lockdown (e.g. gastro). 2019% of sales in the reference period November / December XNUMX will be reimbursed Calculation was comparatively easy.
Bridging aids III and III Plus:
Fixed cost reimbursement calculated on a monthly basis. Possible from a corona-related drop in sales compared to the respective reference month 2019 of at least 30%. The higher the percentage drop in sales, the higher the funding rate (40% - 60% - 100%). Due to various surcharges (staff cost surcharge, start-up aid, equity contribution), the funding rate can reach approx. 150% in individual months. Extremely complicated calculation! We have one for you Example calculation stored.
Restart help:
Flat-rate operating costs are covered, especially for self-employed people / small businesses.

The technical submission is currently not yet possible. Deadline for the final invoice is currently the 30.06.2022. With the final bill many applicants are threatened with high back payments.
