   Official step
2. 2
   Check continuation and financial terms

   Verify whether post-March-2026 continuation exists, then confirm loan share, interest subvention, contribution, guarantee and repayment terms before preparing the application.

   Official step
3. 3
   Prepare the viable project and lender evidence

   Compile the project report, entity documents, contribution, lender appraisal and eligible-cost evidence; exclude working capital and other non-eligible items.
