COVID-19 grant for Walloon companies and sole proprietorships
The Walloon government has set up an extraordinary solidarity fund to support Walloon companies during this period of crisis.
Within the fund, which comprises a total of EUR 350 million, EUR 233 million will be made available for micro businesses, small businesses and sole proprietorships. Enterprises are entitled to a one-off payment of EUR 5,000 if they are active in a sector that is obliged to close down as a result of the measures taken by the National Security Council.
The grant can be applied for via the online platform as of 27 March 2020. Using your company number, you can check whether or not you are eligible for the one-off grant.
