EUR 500,000 support from EU funds

I started my career in the field of business consulting in 2006 when I met a company at a seminar which had a strong opinion that it is impossible to receive EU support and that it is a difficult and complicated bureaucratic process. After reviewing all the documents that this company had provided to receive support, I concluded that its consultants had worked very unprofessionally, so the support was not received. I decided to prove to it that support for business could be received. I did it! We worked together for several years – we developed a fish farm and also expanded the business further – now the company not only grows fish, but also produces fish and fish roe products. In total, the company received about 500,000 in support from the EU. I am very proud of this company, because it was an interesting challenge with which I started my business consulting career.

EU support for the development of a new company in export markets

I was approached by two young men, engineers, whose goal was to leave paid work to start their own business. As usual for engineers, the business sector was very complex – the production of logistics equipment. Our goal was to get this completely new startup company to foreign markets, because Latvia is too small for this business. We received EU support for company development and marketing activities to present ourselves to potential foreigncustomers. I was so dedicated to the success of this company that I travelled with it and presented the company’s products to potential customers in Kazakhstan. Everything was successful for us – today the company has grown into an internationally competitive business and sells its products not only on the Kazakh market, but also in Europe.

We started working with Liene on receiving support to create a sound recording studio. The service we received in the end was more than we expected – Liene not only attracted funding, but also helped arrange free premises for the creation of the studio, found a supplier who was ready to invest in the development of the company at the same time and also provided additional consulting for starting a business.

We have been working with Liene Meldere for 5 years developing our deer garden. Together we have gone through various stages – ups and downs. It must be said that thanks to Liene’s involvement, our company has grown from a deer garden to a producer of deer meat products, and in the future we will jointly develop ideas and attract funding to expand the garden with other species of wild animals. Thank you Liene for your investment in our business.

Thanks to the funding that the dance studio received together with Liene, we not only survived during the COVID crisis, but also grew significantly – we moved to excellent premises on Brīvības Street, created a new dance therapy service for persons with disabilities, and our trainers had the opportunity to receive training in the professional field. While other studios were fighting for survival, together with Liene we were preparing for the post-crisis time together to be more powerful and interesting for our customers. Liene, thank you for your knowledge and ability to think creatively in the field of business development.

Dance studio “Dance theatre Sonrisa”

The “Slapjā Ragana had just started its business. We needed financing for the purchase of various fixed assets, which we had originally planned to purchase by taking a loan from the bank. How good that business consultant Liene came across our path, she helped us to purchase the planned equipment with EU support, which significantly eased our financial flow. Of course, we continue to cooperate and develop the company and, together with Liene, receive support for the digitization of the company and the attraction of foreign customers.
