Clearer eligibility criteria: Aid is now available to individuals of Monegasque nationality and their spouses or partners.
Extended support duration: Financial aid is granted for an initial period of one (1) year, renewable upon request for an additional two (2) years.
Increased rent assistance: The monthly cap for rent support has been raised to €900, easing the financial burden of business setup.
Retention of loan subsidy programs: Businesses established in Monaco for less than five years remain eligible for professional loan subsidies.
Crisis-ready measures: Aid mechanisms introduced during the COVID-19 pandemic have now been generalized for any officially recognized epidemic, ensuring faster and broader support.

Fostering Economic Development in the Principality

With this reform, Monaco demonstrates its commitment to nurturing a dynamic and resilient economic ecosystem. The revised aid system is designed to stimulate local entrepreneurship, enhance business competitiveness, and attract new professional ventures.
