Funding opportunities are open to a wide range of applicants - private enterprises, municipalities, non-governmental organizations, scientific and educational institutions, as well as partnerships between them. Each fund, each call or procedure has specific conditions and requirements, so it is important to analyze the eligibility and potential of the applicant in advance.
The eligibility of costs is one of the most strictly controlled aspects of any project. Only costs that are directly linked to the activities carried out within the eligible period and supported by correct documentation can be recognized.
NORTAN experts perform detailed verification and ensure compliance with the requirements of the governing authorities, which reduces the risk of financial corrections.
The project cycle goes through several key phases:
1. Analysis of client needs and identification of suitable financing opportunities;
2. Development of a project idea and preparation of a proposal;
3. Assessment and approval by the Managing Authority;
4. Implementation, monitoring and control of activities;
5. Final reporting and sustainability of results.
NORTAN Ltd offers comprehensive support at every stage - from concept to successful completion of the project.
Among the most common errors are incomplete or incorrect documentation, a mismatch between the project objectives, the scope and priorities of the program, as well as incorrect budget structuring, which includes expenses for remuneration, the purchase of equipment and other external services.
Our team conducts a thorough analysis before submitting the project proposal to ensure full compliance and increase the likelihood of approval.
Reporting includes the presentation of detailed technical and financial reports that demonstrate the implementation of activities and the achievement of results.
NORTAN provides methodological and expert support throughout the entire process, from documentation preparation to communication with governing bodies, ensuring accuracy, transparency, and legality at the completion of each project.
NORTAN Ltd. experts, with proven experience in writing technical and financial reports, provide full support in their preparation and reporting to the competent institutions.
Cascading Funding is a mechanism where the European Commission provides funds to a lead beneficiary (usually a consortium), which then distributes part of these funds to third parties (SMEs, start-ups, NGOs, researchers) through open calls for applications.
This type of funding is widely used in programs such as Horizon Europe and Digital Europe and is also known as Financial Support to Third Parties (FSTP) .
