Step 5 . State Aid Declaration - Please read and complete the following section
There are European Community rules governing ‘State Aid’, which is the aid that individual member countries give to
support resident businesses. As the loan package provided by One London Ltd t/a GLE oneLondon are provided with
support from both European and UK Government funds, we have a duty to establish support received to date in order
to avoid breaking these rules.
One London Ltd t/a GLE oneLondon operates under a part of the State Aid rules known as de minimis that allows
member states to give small amounts of aid to businesses without notifying it to the European commission. Under de
minimis the maximum amount of aid that can be given to any single business must not currently exceed 200,000
Euros (approximately £170,000) in the three year period prior to the point of the loan package being advanced. As the
provider of this State Aid, One London Ltd t/a GLE oneLondon must check that this limit is not exceeded when new
aid is given.
If your business has received any other European or UK Government State Aid in this period One London Ltd t/a GLE
oneLondon will need to check this to determine how much is de minimis and whether or not it will have any effect on
the loan package you are applying for. You should note that the value of the aid is not equal to the loan package itself
but is calculated according to a formula that takes into account a number of factors (interest charged etc.).
Please complete the below table listing any other State Aid received by your business in the past three years and
sign the declaration below. One London Ltd t/a GLE oneLondon will then be able to check the de minimis position as
part of the eligibility assessment process.
Declaration
I understand that my application for a loan package from One London Ltd t/a GLE oneLondon is governed by the
European Community rules on State Aid, in particular, that the loan package is a de minimis aid and that, therefore,
my application must satisfy the condition of the de minimis rule. I further understand that aid that exceeds the de
minimis limit is possibly illegal aid, which my business may be required to repay. I confirm that I have listed below the
total amount of all forms of aid received by my business in the past three years and I acknowledge that One London
Ltd t/a GLE oneLondon will use this information to determine whether or not my application meets the conditions of
the de minimis rule.
Please list below any loan packages received from public (UK Government or European) sources over the past three
years.
