2 SMALL GROUP PROJECT AND DISCUSSION Financing green opportunities for a small business Students build small groups of 3-5 individuals. Each group will develop a restaurant or hotel concept. The concept should include green technologies. Each group will need to find out:

e Are there any special grants for Start-up companies wanting to implement green technologies within its operation?

e Are there specific loan programmes available for small businesses wanting to invest in green technologies or efficiency upgrades?

Are there any cost benefits to be expected in terms of tax incentives from the green investments in the operation?
