Food manufacturer – Funding Monitor

Financing is the main challenge in case of such wide export activities (10 markets, 15 promotional trips abroad, production of information materials and obtaining international quality certificates). Project for the Labinscy company was financed from the European Union’s funds within Innovative Economy Operational Programme 2007-2013, Action 6.1 ‘Passport to Export’.

Obtaining financing was of key importance. Export Development Plan written by AGERON had to reliably indicate export potential of the Labinscy company and underline the best justified activities, worth financing. Application for financing (written together with the company handling settling applications for the European Union’s fund) had to be correct both in the formal and content aspect. Applying for financing was successful and resulted in client signing agreement with the Wielkopolska Agency for Enterprise Development which carries out Action 6.1 for the Ministry of Regional Development.

While implementing project (expected to be completed in the middle of 2015) AGERON continuously makes sure to fulfill formal criteria typical of the Union’s programmes. In dynamic business reality it might be a challenge to adjust project to our needs. Applications, annexes, changes in schedules are everyday reality of the project, thanks to which AGERON gains more experience in administrative support for entrepreneurs acting within Union’s financing of export activities.
