Croatia is a relatively new country and foreign investors face certain challenges they would not expect in many well-developed countries. But despite the turbulent past, these days Croatia is a relatively stable country, which has started negotiations with the European Union in October 2005.

Membership of the European Union is the main strategic goal of the Croatian government, which means that Croatia has already started to adjust many laws and procedures to European standards. Although full membership is not expected before 2013 (depending on the speed of reforms and fulfillment of the membership criteria) the start of the negotiations clearly indicates the direction of future amendments to laws and procedures. Therefore, Croatia is becoming more and more popular among foreign investors, who recognize that many opportunities have not been explored yet.

Partner Konzalting can help you to identify and realize new business opportunities in Croatia by offering a wide range of services supporting the start up of new businesses or investments.

Our main goal is to be a reliable and efficient partner, aiming at a long-term relationship with our clients. Since we are familiar with the Croatian business culture and language we can substantially shorten your time-to-market by mitigating the effect of bureaucracy and other challenges.





We provide the following services to our clients in the area of investment support:

Business plan

If you want to start up a new business the first thing you should do is writing a business plan. This is a document which describes your vision, market situation, operations, financial figures and many other important items. In case you need external finance (for example a loan from a Croatian bank) the provider of finance will often require a sound business plan, but remember that this document is even more important for yourself, because it shows how your business is going to operate.

We can support you by offering a complete structure for a business plan and we can help you completing the document in a proper way.

In case that you need a bank loan in Croatia, we can also participate in the negotiations with banks. Because of our long-term experience in the banking sector we have good contacts with many banks and we know what kind of information they are looking for.

Investment and feasibility studies

These studies are often used in case of new projects, which are often new businesses as well. In these studies variables like the Net Present Value and Internal Rate of Return are usually calculated and a risk analysis is also included.

We can perform such a study for you and we can also participate in finding external finance for new projects in Croatia.
