is from 06/05/2026 to 30/06/2026 at 15:00.

conforms with the invitation and whether the supporting documents can
submit the application.
Practical observation by a consultant
Why the application should not be left for the last few days?
The most common trap before the deadline is not only the technical submission to the OPSKE.
It is that the interested party slowly discovers that a supporting document is missing,
that the KAD has not been checked properly, that the headquarters raises questions or that
the business scheme has not been organized based on the requirements of the action.
That is why the correct order is not “I go to OPSKE and see what it asks for”.
The correct order is: first pre-check, then organize data, then
check supporting documents and finally final submission.
Not sure if you can apply?

What should be checked before applying?
Before applying for Xekino Epicheirimatika,
a practical check of the file should be carried out. The goal is not
simply to fill out a form, but to submit an application
with the correct basis and documentation.
- ✓ Check the degree and basic requirements of the beneficiary.
- ✓ Check the start date or status under recommendation.
- ✓ Check the main and secondary KAD.
- ✓ Check the professional seat.
- ✓ Check the corporate or individual form of the business.
- ✓ Check the supporting documents.
- ✓ Check the business plan and financial data.
- ✓ Check whether the application is ready for final submission.
If this check has not been made, the application may start
on an incorrect basis and problems may arise at the evaluation stage.
What file information is needed for the application?
The file information is not the same for everyone.
The digital application file differs depending on whether the business
is under establishment or newly established, the form of the business,
the activity, the professional seat and the data that must be declared
to OPSKE.
Before the final submission of the application to Starting Business,
the data that will be included in the digital file must be checked,
so that the application is complete, consistent and correctly documented.
- ✓ Tax information, where required to document the application.
- ✓ Duration or other information that documents the graduate’s eligibility.
- ✓ Professional experience information, if used for scoring.
- ✓ Information on legal establishment and operation, especially for newly established businesses.
- ✓ Information on corporate composition and representation, when the application concerns a corporate or multi-shareholder structure.
- ✓ Professional seat information, such as a lease or other appropriate proof.
- ✓ Responsible declarations and other information provided for in the invitation.
- ✓ Any additional documentation linked to the application data and the evaluation criteria.
Type of business
Under establishment or newly established business: what changes in the application?
The digital file is not the same for all cases.
The image of the application differs depending on whether the business is
under establishment or has already been created as
newly established.
Business under formation
Pay attention to the information to be declared, the future activity,
the business structure and the compatibility with the invitation.
Newly established business
Check the start date, the declared KAD,
the professional seat, the legal operation and the information
that has already been registered.
Critical point:
the application is evaluated based on the information submitted in the digital file.
Therefore, a hasty final submission without checking should not be made.
If the application information is incomplete, incorrect or does not properly document the key eligibility and evaluation criteria, the application may be weakened.
Examples
Examples of cases before application
The following examples show why pre-application screening is crucial.
Each case must be examined based on the actual facts of the interested party.
Example 1: Graduate with a new sole proprietorship
A graduate has recently started a sole proprietorship and wants to submit an application.
Before proceeding, the start date, the KAD,
the professional seat and the connection of the activity with the invitation must be checked.
Example 2: Business under formation
The interested party has not yet completed the formation of the business.
Particular attention is required to the information to be declared,
the business structure and the future activity.
Example 3: Corporate or multi-shareholding structure
When the application concerns a corporate structure, the corporate composition,
the representation, the participation percentages and the overall eligibility of the structure must be examined.
What mistakes should you avoid before final submission?
Application errors do not only concern the technical completion of the OPSKE.
They often start from an incorrect assessment of eligibility, unchecked KAD,
inconsistencies in the company’s data or a hasty final submission.
- ✗ Do not start the application without an initial eligibility check.
- ✗ Do not assume that every activity or KAD is eligible.
- ✗ Do not proceed without checking the professional seat.
- ✗ Do not leave discrepancies in the company, KAD or supporting documents.
- ✗ Do not submit definitively without a final check of the entries in the OPSKE.
- ✗ Do not wait until the last days to identify deficiencies or errors.
Critical point:
because the evaluation is comparative, it is not enough to simply meet the deadline. The application must be properly prepared and documented before final submission.
Why is pre-screening necessary before applying?
Pre-screening helps to determine whether the application is well-founded
before the submission process begins. It does not replace the evaluation
of the program, but it reduces the risk of moving forward without a clear picture.
- ✓ Check if the interested party appears to have basic eligibility.
- ✓ Check if the KAD is compatible with the action.
- ✓ Check if the seat creates a potential issue.
- ✓ Check if critical supporting documents are missing.
- ✓ Check if it is worth proceeding with the full preparation of the file.
