Is the business plan mandatory to apply or a brief idea of the project is sufficient?
Yes, the business plan is mandatory to participate in the programme as it is an essential part of the application that intermediary organisations evaluate when accepting new entrepreneurs. The business plan does not need to be extensive but needs to contain relevant documents to demonstrate that the new entrepreneur has invested significant efforts to set up his/her company.
