Businesses proposing innovative developments may be eligible for financial support or tax concessions from the Canton of Schaffhausen. The purpose of this support is to strengthen the economy.

Companies based in Schaffhausen – including new businesses and start-ups – can apply for grant funding or tax concessions as long as they meet the following criteria:

• A clear strategy which underpins the proposal
• The proposed activity must exclusively or primarily serve markets outside the 
  immediate locality
• Employment regulations must be observed
