Deadline: December 31, 2025
The Street-Level Business Revitalisation Funding supports small- and medium-sized enterprises, associations, and start-ups that invest in vacant, street-level shops in Vienna.
The focus is on making business premises more attractive by covering construction measures that make vacant properties appealing to customers, supporting companies that offer essential goods and services for daily needs, and providing funding for small and medium-sized companies, associations and start-ups, with additional startup bonuses under the de-minimis legal basis.
The funding offers a maximum of 35,000 euros per project with a funding rate of 50 percent, requiring a minimum project value of 5,000 euros. If a new company is founded during the project, a startup bonus of 5,000 euros is granted. Eligible costs include construction measures such as installation of doors, windows, floors, sanitary and electrical systems, as well as heating and ventilation system acquisition. Up to 50 percent of the approved funding can be received as an upfront payment, and projects must be completed within two years.
Applications are assessed by an independent jury which provides recommendations for funding decisions. Required documents include the funding application form, application confirmation, a de-minimis declaration, financial statements or income statement, purchase or lease agreement, confirmation of vacancy, lease duration details, and recent photographs of the premises.
