BUD Fund - Enterprise Support Scheme in the Mainland
To encourage Hong Kong enterprises to enter the Mainland market, the Government provides SME funding through the Dedicated Fund on Branding, Upgrading and Domestic Sales (BUD) of the Hong Kong Productivity Council to help Hong Kong enterprises explore business opportunities and enhance their competitiveness in the Chinese mainland market and the ASEAN market.
To strengthen the competitiveness of enterprises and develop more diversified markets, the Government has raised the cumulative funding ceiling for each enterprise under the BUD Fund to $7 million and the maximum number of approved projects for each enterprise to 70 with effect from November 2022.
Eligibility:
- All non-listed enterprises registered in Hong Kong under the Business Registration Ordinance (Cap. 310) and having substantive business operations in Hong Kong are eligible to apply for authorisation.
- Unless it is a forced manufacturing or service industry, or whether it already has business operations in Chinese mainland and ASEAN, it is eligible to apply for funding.

Maximum number of projects to be funded:

Maximum Funding Amount:
The subsidy is provided on a matching basis, i.e. when the applicant enterprise spends $1 million, the Government will also provide a subsidy of $1 million, and with effect from 7 November 2022, the funding amount of the two BUD schemes will be increased to a total of $7 million.
