Summary/Abstract: Start-up enterprises can benefit from EU funding in the initial phase of their activity. Subsidies for starting a business are granted through various institutions appointed to implement various EU programmes and to hand over funds of the State Budget. Therefore, unemployed individuals who wish to undertake economic activity can use funding offered by employment agencies. This sort of assistance is disbursed on specific terms in the form of a deposit for start-up enterprises. Newly created entities can benefit from EU funding through two programmes: Regional Operational Programme for the Lublin Region for 2007-2013 and Rural Development Programme for 2007-2013. In both cases the financial assistance consists in reimbursement of the costs incurred, but the difference concerns the location of the investment, namely the former programme is realised in urban-rural communes, urban communes and in municipalities counting over 5 000 inhabitants. On the other hand, the Rural Development Programme assists investments located in rural, rural-urban and urban communes, excluding municipalities of more than 5 000 inhabitants.
