Guideline Documents

NEIS is a program offered through Business Foundations on behalf of the Department of Education, Skills and Employment. As such there are specific requirements that govern our interaction with program participants to ensure eligibility. We understand that it can get complex and at times puzzling however it is important that all guidelines be followed as written.

To assist you below are several documents that outline many of the relevant guidelines that govern mentoring interactions. It specifies information requirements, time-frames and actions required for clients to remain compliant to program requirements.

NEIS Forms

For compliance purposes there are a number of forms required to be collected. To make things as simple as possible we have created some standard forms for collecting the appropriate information.

Quarterly Income Statement

At the end of each Quarter NEIS Participants are requested to report their income (both External and NEIS Business) for the purpose of monitoring the progress of their business. This form also provides the basis for determining ongoing business viability. Clients may request assistance in completing this form particularly when trying to assess what is external income vs NEIS business income.
