Importantly, companies have the flexibility to purchase equipment even before receiving the application outcome. However, it's crucial to note that claims cannot be made if the application is unsuccessful.
  • Please exercise due diligence when engaging with vendors. Be cautious not to share your Corppass credentials with vendors for the submission of grant applications or claims.

Conduct thorough research and assessment when selecting vendors to ensure they meet your requirements and standards.
