i am from another EU country and getting funding beyond 50k from the government is really hard. vcs and angels are super conservative and take no risks. the government is not paying your employees if you cannot pay them… and you are personally liable for their social security taxes. i doubt that italy can do what you say here as most EU countries handle things similarly. also, if things get harder than you thought they were going to be and can’t pay the government back you will go bankrupt and potentially lose your assets which you might have invested in substantially yourself. i will never take government loans again.
