Funding for businesses

KMU.DIGITAL: 30 % Funding for Your New Website

Austrian small and medium businesses can have their website implementation subsidised. I am the technical implementation partner, not the consultant. Here is what that means for you.

How much funding is there?

KMU.DIGITAL subsidises the implementation of digitalisation projects. The key figures, as of July 2026:

Funding rate

30 %

of eligible net costs

Maximum funding

€6,000

per company

Project volume

€2,000 to €30,000

outside this range the implementation grant does not apply

Prerequisite

subsidised consulting

must have taken place before implementation

My role: implementation, not consulting

This is where most of the confusion starts, so to be completely clear:

What I am not

  • Not a certified KMU.DIGITAL consultant
  • I cannot carry out the subsidised consulting (phase 1)
  • I do not file the funding application for you

What I am

  • Your technical implementation partner for phase 2
  • I build the website described in the consulting concept
  • I issue an invoice you can submit for reimbursement

The funding rules require consulting and implementation to come from different companies. That is exactly why this combination works: you get the consulting from a certified consultant, and I do the build.

How it works

  1. 1

    Certified consulting

    You approach a KMU.DIGITAL certified consultant. The digitalisation concept is created there. Not with me.

  2. 2

    File the application

    You apply for the implementation grant before the project starts. The order matters.

  3. 3

    Implementation by me

    I build the website, the booking system or the tool from the concept. Fixed price, as always.

  4. 4

    Reimbursement

    You submit my invoice and get 30 % of the net cost back.

Which packages are eligible?

The implementation grant starts at a project volume of €2,000. That gives:

One-pager (from €990)not eligiblebelow the €2,000 threshold
Business website (from €2,790)eligible30 % is roughly €837
Custom (from €5,990)eligible30 % is roughly €1,797

The figures above are worked examples based on the funding rate, not a commitment. What actually gets approved is decided by the funding body.

No warranty

Funding rates, limits and conditions can change. The information here is as of July 2026. Only the rules published on kmudigital.at are binding. I am not a funding consultant and accept no liability for funding decisions.

Frequently asked questions about KMU.DIGITAL

How much funding do I get for my website?

30 % of eligible net costs, up to €6,000 per company. For a business website from €2,790 that is roughly €837. It requires a project volume between €2,000 and €30,000 and subsidised consulting carried out beforehand.

Can you do the consulting as well?

No. I am not a certified KMU.DIGITAL consultant, and the funding rules require consulting and implementation to come from different companies anyway. I am the implementation partner for phase 2.

Do I have to apply before the project starts?

Yes. The implementation grant is applied for before the project begins. Building first and applying afterwards means getting nothing. The order is: consulting, application, implementation, reimbursement.

Is this the same as the Geräte-Retter-Prämie?

No, they are two entirely different things. The Geräte-Retter-Prämie is for private individuals and subsidises device repairs at 50 %, up to €130. KMU.DIGITAL is for businesses and subsidises digitalisation projects at 30 %, up to €6,000.

Am I eligible as a sole trader?

KMU.DIGITAL is aimed at Austrian small and medium businesses, sole traders included. Whether you meet the criteria in your specific case is decided by the funding body. The binding criteria are published on kmudigital.at.
