In short

The first step is to check the applicant, activity, location, costs and objectives against a specific procedure. A good idea does not, by itself, make a project eligible.

Where is the problem?

Time is often lost when preparation starts before anyone checks whether the company and investment fall within the procedure's eligible scope.

How do we approach it?

  1. We review the applicant's profile and principal activity.
  2. We compare the investment objectives with the procedure's objectives.
  3. We distinguish eligible and ineligible costs from the outset.
  4. We give a concise assessment of whether full preparation is worthwhile.

What should you check beforehand?

  • Who will be the applicant?
  • What exactly is the planned investment?
  • Has a procedure already been selected, or is the search just starting?

How we help

In the initial consultation, we review the idea and the specific procedure, where one exists. We do not promise approval — the aim is to establish eligibility, next steps and the main risks.
