Prerequisites

Creation and certification of a business eSpace

To be able to apply for a subsidy, you must have a business eSpace on MyGuichet.lu.

How to create a business eSpace on MyGuichet.lu

There are 2 possible scenarios:

  1. You are a new user of MyGuichet.lu. You must:
    • first register on MyGuichet.lu; and
    • then create a business eSpace.
  2. You already have a private eSpace on MyGuichet.lu. You can directly create a business eSpace without having to register again.

Further information as well as tutorials in relation with the business eSpace are available in our dedicated help page.

If not already done so, your business eSpace must be certified by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Viticulture. You must send your request for certification by email to the following address: token@ser.etat.lu.

You will receive an access code by post. You must save the access code in your business eSpace under 'My profile › Certifications › Add a certification using an access code' (see 'Online services and forms') to be able to access the company's certified data.

If your business eSpace has already been certified for other agricultural or viticultural procedures, the certification is also valid for the subsidy application.

Aid applications are assessed and beneficiaries are selected 4 times a year.

The deadline for submitting aid applications is the last day of February, May, August and November.
