Executive summary
One of the first questions in any FTN project is not how much support it can get, but whether it can apply at all.
Checking the municipality properly from the start avoids wasting time on an application that would fail the basic territorial eligibility filter.
What to review first
- Municipality where the project is executed or where the relevant workplace is located.
- Relationship of the municipality with PENTA I or PENTA II zones.
- Whether the project actually takes place there and not only administratively.
- Whether future documentation can prove that territorial link.
Common mistakes when validating municipality
Confusing registered office with execution
Having the company registered somewhere is not enough if the project is not executed there.
Assuming the whole area is eligible
Not every nearby municipality automatically qualifies.
Not preparing proof
Later on, the link between project and location will need to be demonstrated.
What to do after validating the municipality
- Choose the FTN line that best fits the project.
- Define planned investment, employment or innovation.
- Prepare a clear territorial impact narrative.
- Review the execution calendar before filing.
