Business plans and EU grant applications

Pre­par­ing fin­an­cial doc­u­ment­a­tion and ap­plic­a­tions for na­tional, re­gional and other European fund­ing pro­grammes.

A suc­cess­ful fund­ing ap­plic­a­tion is not just a cor­rectly com­pleted form - above all, it needs a solid busi­ness plan and fin­an­cial fore­casts that meet the re­quire­ments of the spe­cific call. Our team prepares this documentation from the fin­an­cial and formal side, de­scrib­ing the pro­ject, the fig­ures and the sched­ule so that they comply with the rules of the call and are ready for as­sess­ment by the im­ple­ment­ing body.

What our service covers

  • ✓Pre­par­ing the pro­ject busi­ness plan - a de­scrip­tion of the ven­ture, market ana­lysis, a sched­ule of activ­it­ies and fin­an­cial fore­casts (rev­enue, costs, prof­it­ab­il­ity) in line with the re­quire­ments of the pro­gramme.
  • ✓Com­plet­ing the fund­ing ap­plic­a­tion form to­gether with the re­quired fin­an­cial an­nexes (fin­an­cial state­ments, de­clar­a­tions, cal­cu­la­tions of eli­gible costs).
  • ✓Pre­par­ing the pro­ject budget and ex­pendit­ure sched­ule in line with the list of eli­gible costs for the spe­cific call.
  • ✓Sup­port with sup­ple­ment­ing doc­u­ment­a­tion during the formal and sub­stant­ive as­sess­ment of the ap­plic­a­tion, in­clud­ing an­swer­ing ques­tions from the im­ple­ment­ing body.
  • ✓Ac­count­ing and re­port­ing for pro­jects that have already been funded - sep­ar­ate re­cords of pro­ject costs, pre­par­a­tion of pay­ment claims and re­ports for the fund­ing body.
  • ✓Pre­par­ing fin­an­cial doc­u­ment­a­tion for ap­plic­a­tions under na­tional, re­gional and other European fund­ing pro­grammes, re­gard­less of the loc­a­tion and sector of your busi­ness.

Why entrust this to us

Fund­ing ap­plic­a­tions are as­sessed against strictly defined cri­teria, and formal errors or fin­an­cial fore­casts that do not match the call re­quire­ments are a common reason for a pro­ject being re­jec­ted at the formal as­sess­ment stage. By pre­par­ing busi­ness plans and fin­an­cial doc­u­ment­a­tion from an ac­count­ing per­spect­ive, we make sure the fig­ures in your ap­plic­a­tion are re­li­able, re­flect your busi­ness's actual situ­ation and are presen­ted in the format re­quired by the im­ple­ment­ing body.

Frequently asked questions

Do you only pre­pare ap­plic­a­tions for busi­nesses from Białystok and the Pod­laskie region? +

No. We pre­pare busi­ness plans and fin­an­cial doc­u­ment­a­tion for fund­ing ap­plic­a­tions re­gard­less of where your busi­ness is based - much of our work is done re­motely, so we work with cli­ents from all over Poland.

Do you guar­an­tee that the grant will be awar­ded? +

No - the de­cision to award fund­ing is made by the body im­ple­ment­ing the pro­gramme, based on the formal and sub­stant­ive as­sess­ment of the ap­plic­a­tion. Our job is to pre­pare a re­li­able busi­ness plan and fin­an­cial doc­u­ment­a­tion that meet the re­quire­ments of the spe­cific call. This in­creases the chance of a pos­it­ive as­sess­ment, but it is not a guar­an­tee that funds will be awar­ded.

What should a busi­ness plan for a fund­ing ap­plic­a­tion in­clude? +

The scope de­pends on the spe­cific call, but it usu­ally in­cludes a de­scrip­tion of the pro­ject and its ob­ject­ives, market ana­lysis, a sched­ule of activ­it­ies, planned eli­gible costs and fin­an­cial fore­casts - rev­enue, costs and prof­it­ab­il­ity of the ven­ture over a given period. The doc­u­ment must follow the format and cri­teria set out in the rules of the call.

What are eli­gible costs? +

These are ex­penses that, under the rules of the call, can be covered by fund­ing - for ex­ample, the pur­chase of fixed assets or in­tan­gible assets, salar­ies of pro­ject staff or ex­ternal ser­vices. The list of eli­gible costs dif­fers between pro­grammes, so we always pre­pare the pro­ject budget based on the guidelines of the spe­cific call.

What hap­pens after the fund­ing is awar­ded - does your sup­port end? +

No - after the fund­ing agree­ment is signed, the pro­ject re­quires sep­ar­ate ac­count­ing re­cords of costs and reg­u­lar re­port­ing to the fund­ing body, in­clud­ing sub­mit­ting pay­ment claims. We help cli­ents main­tain this doc­u­ment­a­tion throughout the im­ple­ment­a­tion and re­port­ing period of the pro­ject.

How long does it take to pre­pare a fund­ing ap­plic­a­tion? +

It de­pends on the com­plex­ity of the pro­ject and the re­quire­ments of the spe­cific call - from a few days for sim­pler re­gional calls to sev­eral weeks for more com­plex pro­grammes that re­quire de­tailed fin­an­cial ana­lysis. Be­cause calls have fixed sub­mis­sion dead­lines, it is worth start­ing pre­par­a­tions well in ad­vance.
