Thanks to the loan, you will be able to create a job vacancy for a new employee and hire an unemployed person registered at the Unemployment Office. Furthermore, you can also benefit from the loan when you want to create several jobs.

Within support offered by this programme, you can obtain a loan in the amount equal to 6-times the average salary (ca. PLN 20 thousand) for a period of three years. Thanks to the preferential interest rate equal to 1/4 of the current rediscount rate of the National Bank of Poland, your interest will amount to only PLN 10.00 per month and will be the only cost related to the loan. 

Within this programme, you will not incur any additional costs due to fees or commission, or due to early repayment of the loan. 

Additionally, if you have benefited from a loan for opening a business offered within this programme before, then you will have more time to repay it (until the end of the period of repayment of the first loan. Furthermore, you can apply for partial amortisation of the debt remaining to be repaid. 

Due to the preferential character of the loans, the provided support constitutes de minimis aid. 

The following entities can apply for the loan:

• Entities that have benefited from a loan for opening a business;
• Entities who manage a business;
• Natural and legal persons;
• Organisational units without a legal person, residing or seated in Poland, employing in the period of last six months at least one full-time employee in each month.

The loans will be secured as follows: 

• Promissory note of the borrower;
• Warranties made by natural persons.

Depending on the assessment of creditworthiness and credit risk, another type of security can be established instead of the warranty, to ensure repayment of the granted loans.

The loan funds can be used to cover direct costs required for creating a job.

In order to obtain this loan, you have to fill out an application and submit it along with the required documents to a financial agent in the region where you conduct your business (the list of financial agents can be found here).

After submitting a complete and properly filled-out application, the loan decision will be made within 14 business days.

If the decision is positive:

1. You will sign an amendment (for people who have received a loan for establishing a business before) or an agreement (for the remaining entrepreneurs);
2. You will establish a security for repayment of the loan;
3. You will receive funds from the loan and create a job vacancy;
4. If you decide to employ a person assigned by the Unemployment Office, you will need to complete all the required activities in this regard.
5. You can hire a new employee at your company!

The last stage of this process is to settle the funds obtained with the loan that will take place according to a schedule agreed-upon with the agent, based on the presented invoices or other accounting documents that have an equal evidential vale. 

If you have obtained a loan for opening a business and hired an unemployed person assigned by a Regional Unemployment Office, you can apply for partial amortisation of the loan.

1. Retention for at least 12 months of the first job for an unemployed person assigned by a Regional Unemployment Office;
2. Absence of any overdue repayment amounts of the loan for creating a job for an unemployed person assigned by a Regional Unemployment Office and the loan for opening a business.
