HOW OUR ADVISORS CAN HELP YOU
Our advisors guide you in writing your business case. A well-considered substantiation of the positive impact on your company (strengthening, internationalization and sustainability) as well as at project level (innovation and quality of management) and the Flemish economy are crucial for the application.
Step by step we discuss all challenges and associated investments, costs and necessary training for the staff. Together we draw up a detailed and realistic transformation budget. Each case is extensively checked against the support framework. We write the file from A-Z and assist in drawing up the budget. Ad-hoc assistance or reviews are also possible. You can also contact us for the reporting aspect, which is often overlooked.
