    start-up nation guide

    Start-Up Nation is a government program through which new companies can receive up to 50,000 euros to start their business. The funding comes 100% from European funds, with a total budget of 450 million euros.

    The project account is the dedicated account into which non-reimbursable funding is deposited and from which all approved payments in the project are made. Basically, any eligible purchase must be paid exclusively from this account.

    If you already have a current account open at BT, we automatically open the project account for you as well. If you do not have a current account open at BT, you can open one online in BT GO or at any BT branch and we will subsequently open the project account for you.

    To avoid delays or errors, we recommend that you make payments directly at the BT branch where you opened or were assigned the account.

    What are the steps you need to follow?

    • If you do not have a current account, you open online in BT Go or in a BT agency, and we automatically open your project account as well

    • You receive an advance of 50% of the non-reimbursable financial aid (AFN) in the project account and, if you need, request bridge loan for the 50% difference from the NFAC

    • Prepare the file for acquisitions: you select the suppliers and sign the sales contracts

    • You provide the difference of money into the project account necessary to fully pay for all purchases in the expense plan

    • You pay the suppliers in full, exclusively from the project account

    • You receive the goods, install them and put them into operation at the declared location. Also now you must hire the employees

    • You upload the reimbursement form in the application and the supporting documents

    • You receive the expense certification visit and you sign the certification report

    • You receive the AFN Payment Agreement, iar diferența de AFN intră în contul de proiect. Din aceasta, banca rambursează creditul punte (dacă l-ai folosit)

    How will the payments from the project account be made?

    You can make project payments only after you have signed all purchase contracts and can demonstrate that you have complied with the program conditions:

    • co-financing percentage

    • percentage of investments in equipment

    • expenses for the sustainable development part

    To make payments, you must have in the project account the entire required amount: both your own contribution for eligible expenses, and the money for ineligible expenses. Each payment is made only with the bank's approval, proportional to the source of financing, that is from:

    • the advance from MEDAT (up to 50% of the Non-reimbursable Financial Aid)

    • bridge loan (maximum 50% of NFA), if you requested one

    • own contribution to eligible expenses

    • amount for ineligible expenses

    Thus, you ensure that everything is fine and your project goes ahead smoothly.

    FAST HELP

    For the bridge loan, after you submit the complete documentation required to obtain the loan to the bank, the bank may issue the approval decision and sign the loan contract within a maximum of 20 working days.

    Once the approval and signing of the contract are completed, financing can be quickly made available to you, so that you can continue the implementation of the Start-Up Nation project.

    The project account is opened at BT, and the procedure is very simple:

    • If you already have a current account at BT, the bank will automatically open the dedicated Start‑Up Nation project account for you.
    • If you don't have a current account at BT, you can:
      • open online, from BT Go, or
      • in a BT unit, and afterwards the bank will also open your project account.

    You must know that all payments in the project will be made exclusively from this account.

    No. The bank can finance up to 50% of the value of the Non-Refundable Financial Aid, in the form of a bridge loan. The remaining 50% of the NRFA you will receive as an advance, directly into the project account.

    Also, it is necessary that you ensure your own contribution for eligible expenses (where applicable) and cover any ineligible expenses from your own sources, also through the project account.

    For the bridge loan, the guarantees can be the goods purchased within the project, or a guarantee provided by FNGCIMM (National Guarantee Fund), according to the applicable conditions.

    Non-reimbursable financial aid is granted in two installments by the Agency for SMEs with which you signed the financing contract:

    • The first installment is transferred after signing the AFN Grant Agreement. At the moment the money is transferred, we notify you by SMS.
    • The second installment is granted after the expense certification visit and final approval of the expense report.
