LiTaS – project consulting offers professional services related to the preparation and implementation of project proposals for the (co-)financing of investments. Services are provided through three main funding sources: European Union funds, National tax incentive schemes, and Subsidised entrepreneurial loans. 1. Project proposal preparation services Project proposal preparation for investment (co-)financing is a complex, multi-phase process. In the first phase, project ideas are developed in close cooperation with the client. Once a project concept is defined, a feasibility assessment is conducted to evaluate the potential for obtaining (co-)financing. This assessment is based on currently available calls for grants, tax incentives, and preferential loan programmes. During this phase, the eligibility of the client as an applicant is verified. If the client is deemed eligible, the process proceeds to the second phase, which involves a detailed analysis of how the proposed project can be aligned with the requirements of the selected call or financial instrument. This phase includes preliminary scoring of the project proposal to assess whether it can meet the minimum evaluation thresholds. Based on the results, a joint decision is made with the client regarding the justification and feasibility of proceeding with the project application. In the event of a positive decision, the third phase focuses on full project structuring. This includes defining project objectives and expected results, planned activities, project duration, and all project-related costs. The project proposal is fully developed and documented in accordance with the requirements of the relevant call or financial instrument. Upon completion, the application is submitted to the competent authority for evaluation, with the objective of obtaining a funding decision (EU funds), confirmation of beneficiary status (national tax incentives), or approval of a subsidised loan. The service also includes continuous support and guidance throughout the evaluation process until the final decision is issued. 2. Project management and administrative implementation services Project management and administrative implementation services are provided after a positive outcome, such as a funding decision (EU funds), confirmation of beneficiary status (national tax incentives), or loan approval (subsidised loans). These services include informing the client of contractual obligations arising from the signed agreement, guidance on the management and archiving of supporting documentation (e.g. offers, purchase orders, invoices, bank statements), financial monitoring of the project, advisory support related to accounting treatment of project costs, and preparation and analysis of all documentation related to project implementation. The service further includes the preparation of an initial schedule for the submission of reimbursement claims and annual reports, development of the procurement plan, preparation and submission of quarterly and final reimbursement claims and annual reports, as well as preparation of requests for project modifications (minor and major amendments), with a particular focus on amendments related to changes in the approved project budget. 3. Scope of funding programmes Within its EU funds portfolio, LiTaS – project consulting provides services for obtaining non-repayable grants under the EU Cohesion Policy for the 2021–2027 financial period in the Republic of Croatia, as well as under the EUREKA and EUROSTARS programmes. In the area of national tax incentives, services are provided for obtaining tax benefits in the form of reduced corporate income tax rates and reductions of the tax base, in accordance with applicable investment and research and development incentive legislation. Within the scope of subsidised entrepreneurial loans, services include preparation of project proposals aimed at obtaining interest rate subsidies through programmes implemented by the Croatian Bank for Reconstruction and Development (HBOR). 4. Advanced business consulting services Following the establishment of sustainable business operations, LiTaS – project consulting also offers advanced business consulting services in the role of an external Product Development Manager. This service is intended for clients developing new products or services and provides advisory support and documentation across all stages of development, from early concept phases (TRL 0) to full market readiness (TRL 9). Although such services are well established internationally, they remain limited in availability on the Croatian market, particularly outside the IT sector. Through this service, LiTaS aims to bridge this gap and provide comprehensive, structured support throughout the entire product or service development lifecycle. |
| Key Technologies |
LiTaS – project consulting uses a range of digital tools and technologies to support the efficient preparation, management, and implementation of investment projects. Key technologies include project management software for project planning, scheduling, task coordination, and progress monitoring, as well as collaboration and communication platforms that enable effective interaction with clients, partners, and other stakeholders. Data analysis and spreadsheet tools are used for financial modelling, budgeting, cost tracking, and performance monitoring. Document management systems support the structured preparation, storage, and version control of project documentation, applications, and reports, ensuring compliance with funding rules and regulatory requirements. Cloud-based solutions are used to ensure secure data storage, controlled access, data backup, and continuity throughout the entire project lifecycle. |
| Main Machinery |
LiTaS – project consulting primarily operates as a knowledge-based consulting service and does not rely on heavy machinery or production equipment. The main equipment used consists of standard office and IT equipment, including personal computers and laptops, peripheral devices, secure internet and communication infrastructure, and office productivity tools. This equipment enables the preparation of project documentation, financial analyses, reporting, and communication with clients and relevant institutions. No specialised industrial machinery or manufacturing equipment is used in the provision of services. |
| Unique Capabilities |
LiTaS – project consulting specializes in providing end-to-end support for investment projects seeking (co-)financing through European Union funds, national tax incentive schemes, and subsidised entrepreneurial loan programmes. A key unique capability lies in the integrated approach that combines project ideation, feasibility assessment, preliminary scoring, application preparation, and full project implementation support. This allows clients to receive continuous guidance throughout the entire project lifecycle, from initial concept development to final project completion. LiTaS has strong expertise in aligning project concepts with specific funding requirements, optimising project structures and budgets to maximise funding eligibility and success rates. The consultancy places particular emphasis on regulatory compliance, financial accuracy, and risk mitigation during both the application and implementation phases. An additional distinguishing capability is the provision of advanced business consulting services in the role of an external Product Development Manager, supporting clients in the development of new products and services across all Technology Readiness Levels (TRL 0–9). This service offering extends beyond traditional consulting models and addresses a gap in the domestic market by providing structured, cross-sector product development support, including non-IT industries. |
