Very good question!

The process has been initiated way before (a year before actually). It took 4 months to get the money because the business plan and everything has been made for the company launch.

Think of:

1. 2010: the project initiated with the preparation of the business plan with public funding in mind;

2. september 2011: the company launched because the funding project has been audited and validated, which means 99% chances for the funding to be approved;

3. january 2012: the money has been unlocked.

Does it make sense?
