Do you work with funding programmes?

Yes. Hot Milk Digital is listed in the official BAFA consultant search and has experience with the 'go-digital' and 'Digital Jetzt' programmes. We check free of charge before any commission whether your project is eligible for funding, handle the complete application and document the project so that the payout runs smoothly after completion. Most important rule: the application must be submitted before the project begins — anyone who commissions work beforehand usually loses the claim.

How much funding can I actually get?

Depending on the programme and region, up to 80% of consulting and implementation costs are subsidised — higher rates apply in the new federal states than in the old ones. Example: with a €5,000 project and a 50% funding rate, you effectively pay €2,500. Implementation only begins after the funding commitment has been secured.

Who is eligible for BAFA funding?

Generally small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and freelancers based in Germany. Key factors include number of employees, turnover and the planned digitalisation project. We check whether you are eligible in a free initial call — before any commission.

How does the BAFA application process work?

Three steps: 1. We check your eligibility free of charge. 2. We handle the complete application via the official BAFA consultant search, where Hot Milk Digital is listed. 3. After approval, we implement and document the project so that the payout runs smoothly.
