KMO-portefeuille

A measure giving entrepreneurs financial aid in the purchase of training and advice.

WHAT IS THE KMO-PORTEFEUILLE CERTIFICATION?

The KMO-Portefeuille is a subsidy initiative by the Flemish government designed to support SMEs in strengthening their core business processes. Through this program, companies can receive financial aid for training and advisory services that contribute to their growth and competitiveness.

The aid can be obtained when purchasing services provided by registered service providers like Skillsoft Global Knowledge in the areas of training and advice. Our accreditation number is DV.O107730. For more information about KMO-portefeuille click the button below to visit the Vlaio website.

WHO IS ELIGIBLE?

The SME portfolio is a subsidy from the Flemish government, intended for Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Flanders. These companies can receive financial support for:

  • Training courses for themselves or their employees.
  • Consultancy services from recognized service providers.


For SMEs, this certification means that partnering with Global Knowledge Belgium now comes with tangible financial benefits. Eligible businesses can receive up to:

  • 30% subsidy (max €7,500/year) for small enterprises.
  • 20% subsidy (max €7,500/year) for medium-sized enterprises.


This significantly lowers the barrier for companies to invest in high-impact training and consultancy, particularly in areas like IT upskilling, cybersecurity, cloud transformation, and digital strategy.


ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS

  • Your company must be registered with VLAIO.
  • You must enter into an agreement with a recognized service provider (for advice) or enroll in a training course.
  • The subsidy application must be submitted within 14 days of the start of the training course or advisory services.
  • You must pay your own contribution into the SME portfolio account within 30 days of the application.
