EU Funds & Non-Refundable Grants
Free eligibility check, grant writing and implementation for PNRR, POR, Start-Up Nation, AFIR and de minimis schemes.
What it is
Under the 2021-2027 financial framework and the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR), Romania has billions of euros available for SMEs: digitalisation, energy efficiency, production equipment, start-ups, agriculture and tourism. The problem is not the lack of money but the complexity of the calls: guides running to hundreds of pages, scoring criteria, short deadlines and platforms such as MySMIS2021 or the ministry's own PNRR portal. Our EU funds advisory covers the full cycle: identifying the right programme, checking eligibility, writing the funding application, submission, contracting and implementation management, including procurement and progress reports.
Benefits
The eligibility check is free and tells you honestly, within 48 hours, whether and where you stand a real chance. We write projects that score highly on the key criteria – contribution to digitalisation, jobs, sustainability – because we know how committees evaluate. We monitor calls under the North-East Regional Operational Programme, PNRR, Start-Up Nation, AFIR and de minimis schemes so you never miss a submission window. The success fee applies only if the project is approved.
How we work
After the free eligibility check, we sign a fixed-price contract for grant writing (from EUR 590) and a success fee on contracting. We collect the documents, build the business plan and budget, prepare the technical annexes and submit the project on the platform. Once approved, we guide you through procurement, reimbursement claims and audit so you do not lose any part of the grant.

What EU funding is available for my company in 2026?+
In 2026 there are still open calls under the Regional Programmes (North-East, North-West etc.) for digitalisation and equipment, the Recovery and Resilience components for SMEs, national schemes such as Start-Up Nation and Micro-industrialisation, plus programmes for the Republic of Moldova. We run a free eligibility pre-assessment within 48 hours, and project writing starts at 590 EUR (EU Funding Pack), with a success fee only on approval.
How much does a business plan cost and how quickly is it ready?+
The Business Plan Pack costs 349 EUR and is ready in 10-14 working days: market analysis, 3-5 year financial model, cash-flow forecasts, SWOT analysis and a presentation for the bank or investors. For plans required by funding programmes we use the exact structure and scoring grid of that call, so the project scores as highly as possible at evaluation.
Can you help me set up a company in Romania or the Republic of Moldova?+
Yes. The Start-Up Pack (199 EUR) covers advice on the legal form, business activity codes, preparation of the Trade Register file, tax registration and the initial set-up of accounting and e-invoicing. For the Republic of Moldova we work through our sister company in Chișinău, and for Romanian citizens in Italy we offer complete remote assistance, including notarised power of attorney.
What does “digital transformation” actually mean for an SME?+
It means replacing paper, parallel spreadsheets and lost messages with a clear workflow: a CRM for customers and quotes, electronic invoicing integrated with the national e-invoicing and SAF-T systems, electronic signatures, stock management and automated reports. We start with a 2-3 day process audit, deliver a roadmap with priorities and costs, then implement in stages so your team does not stall during the transition.
