Funding & Investment Programmes
From an investment idea to the right funding option.
01The question
You have a business plan. Do you know how to fund it?
Every business plan needs an appropriate funding approach. AFS assesses your business needs, explores available funding options and supports the preparation and implementation of your investment plan.
02What we work towards
Our aim is to identify funding options that match your business needs and assess whether they can support your investment plan. From the initial assessment and application preparation to implementation, we provide organised support for the stages required by each funding programme.
Funding and investment support from AFS: needs assessment, eligibility review, business plans, applications and support through investment implementation and disbursement requests.
03What the work covers
- 01
Funding Research & Assessment
We explore available national and European programmes, ESPA, development and bank funding instruments, assessing which options match your business needs and objectives.
- 02
Eligibility Review & Investment Planning
We examine participation criteria, financial information and programme requirements to assess the suitability and readiness of your investment plan in good time.
- 03
Business Plans & Funding Applications
We prepare business plans, financial projections, investment documentation and funding applications in line with the requirements of the relevant provider.
- 04
Investment Implementation & Disbursements
We support the monitoring of approved investments, required procedures, amendments, supporting documentation and disbursement requests, according to programme requirements and the agreed scope of our engagement.
AFS · Athens04Questions worth asking first
What do you want to fund, and what result do you expect from the investment?
Which funding options are available, and what conditions must your business meet?
Do you have the financial capacity, information and time needed to prepare and implement your plan?
05How it fits together

Implement
We support investment monitoring and the required procedures through completion and disbursements, where included in our agreed engagement.
Funding approval depends on the terms, criteria and decisions of the responsible provider. AFS offers specialist support in assessing, preparing and managing the process, without guaranteeing approval or disbursement.
06Funding updates through myAFS
Funding opportunities start with timely information.
Through myAFS, you can stay informed about active and expected ESPA and funding programmes, and gain an initial indication of whether your business appears to meet the basic eligibility criteria.
An initial indication is not confirmation of eligibility. myAFS does not replace specialist assessment, application preparation or funding advice.
