Please complete the following steps in order to claim your grant. 

 

Step 1 - Review Letter of Offer (i.e. Grant Agreement)

Review your Letter of Offer. This will confirm the Title of the Grant that you were approved, the Project Number of the Grant, the expenditure type and amount that was approved and the Final Claim Date (i.e. the last date by which all expenditure must be incurred, and a valid claim submitted to Enterprise Ireland). 


Step 2 - Download the Claim Template

The Capital Investment Initiative Claim Checklist, Claim Form and Director Statement are all in the one Excel file below. 
 

Only the Director Statement needs to be printed, signed and returned as a PDF. 
 

Please Do Not Convert the Excel claim worksheets to PDF before submitting to Enterprise Ireland as they will be returned. 
 

The Checklist provides a detailed description of all relevant forms and supporting documentation required to submit a valid claim. Please review the checklist before preparing your claim to ensure that you have all the relevant documentation to hand when completing the claim.

Step 3 - Independent Accountants Report

All claims in respect of grants approved in excess of €400,000 must be certified by an Independent Accountant. 
Enterprise Ireland still reserves the right to request a claim to be certified by an Independent Accountant where deemed necessary and may withhold payment of the claim until such request has been complied with. 
If your claim requires certification, it must be certified (signed and dated) by an Independent Accountant on their headed paper. 
Please download and send the M45 Independent Accountants Report to your Independent Accountant for completion. Note that their report should certify the Details (Date of, project number(s) and expenditure amount) as outlined on the Directors Statement relating to claim.
