Corona crisis – bridging assistance extended
To help troubled companies in the period from June to August 2020, a bridging aid was introduced in the wake of the Corona crisis. In the meantime, a second phase of the bridging aid has been decided by the federal government, which covers the funding months September to December 2020.
While many restrictions are now being relaxed, many companies still have some or all of their business operations restricted due to the Corona crisis. The bridging aid adopted is intended to help small and medium-sized enterprises affected by constraints or closures. For this reason, further liquidity support was granted for the months of June to August 2020 (phase 1). The program thus follows on temporally from the emergency aid program of the federal government (March to May 2020). The BMWi has published detailed FAQ's on this topic.
