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 types and amounts that were 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).

The Company Expansion Capital Grant Claim Checklist, Claim Form and Director Statement are in the one Excel file below.

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.

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

Step 3 - Attach Independent Accountants Report if required

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 IAR Completion Instructions 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.

Step 5 - What happens next

• Your claim will be assigned to a Grant Payment Officer who will review the details and seek clarification from you if necessary.

• If all is in order the claim will be passed to the inspection team who will be in contact with you to organise a visit to your company to validate your claim.

• The inspector will discuss the outcome of the validation with you and will instruct the payment officer to pay, defer or disallow the claim depending on their findings.

• The payment officer completes the authorisation of your claim and submits a payment request to our Finance Department.
