Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n
\n

How do I know which programme applies to me?<\/h3>

It depends on your sector, location, business size and type of investment. Visit our office in Igoumenitsa or call +30 2665 026679 for a free pre-check.<\/p><\/div>\n

Can I prepare before a programme opens?<\/h3>

Yes, and it usually makes the difference. Permits, quotes, tax and social security clearances and a business plan take time, while deadlines are often short.<\/p><\/div>\n

Where are calls officially published?<\/h3>

On espa.gr, on espa-epirus.gr for Epirus, on the Local Action Group websites (e.g. epirussa.gr for LEADER) and on \u039f\u03a0\u03a3\u039a\u0395, where applications are submitted.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
