Specific Guidelines for Company Projects

Content-related

  1. Company projects must address a documented skills or competency need among employees in the applicant company. The company is free to choose its supplier; however, all activities must take place in Denmark and be conducted in either Danish or English.
  2. Employees in Denmark whose salary is below the threshold specified in the OK25 collective agreement (see page 82) are eligible for funding, including part-time employees, employees in subsidised employment, flex jobs or senior jobs, apprentices, and students.
  3. The application must be completed and submitted through the portal on the Website of Finanskompetencepuljen.
    1. An activity and budget plan outlining the costs of fees and related expenses, including any co-financing, if applicable.
    2. A cost estimate from the provider.
  4. The employee representative must be informed and/or involved in connection with applications for company projects.
  5. Grants cannot be used to cover participation fees for employees with a monthly salary exceeding DKK 87,000 (effective from 1 July 2026). Nor may they be used for employees’ acquisition of mandatory certifications, such as those required for investment advisors or insurance intermediaries, employee or management buy-outs (time release), licences, transportation, or catering related to the project.

Financial

  1. A company may apply annually for support totaling up to 130% of the company’s annual contributions to §2 (comapany projects and company courses).
  2. Regardless of the size of its annual contributions to §2, a company may always apply for support of up to DKK 100,000 per year (comapany projects and company courses).
  3. As a general rule, support of up to DKK 30,000 per employee may be granted for a company project. Higher amounts require special approval.
  4. The company’s own co-financing may be included in the overall budget or may supplement co-financing provided through §2.

Time-related

  1. A company may apply for support up to two months after the completion of a company project. However, it is recommended that applications be submitted before the activity begins, so that there is clarity regarding funding before payment to the course provider is due.
  2. Once a company project has been completed, the company must submit a final report no later than six months after completion (see below), and any unused funds must be returned to §2.
  3. If the company project has not been completed within one year of the approval of the application, the granted amount must be returned to §2.
  4. If the total semi-annual contributions to §2 are exhausted before the end of the half-year period, new grants can only be paid out in the following half-year, once new contributions to §2 have been received.

Requirements for Final Reporting

Upon completion of the project, the company must complete a reporting template (provided by Finans Danmark together with the grant approval letter), stating:

  1. The purpose of the activity.
  2. The number of participants and the activities carried out.
  3. An assessment of whether the project objectives were achieved.
  4. A simple financial statement, accompanied by receipts documenting the project expenses.
