You're not short of an idea or a product. You're short of a way to reach customers.
You know how it goes:
- →You have a product, or a first version of it, but you don't know exactly who to sell it to or how to reach those people.
- →Customers come through referrals. It works, but you can't plan it, speed it up or repeat it next month.
- →You've tried ads. A few thousand PLN went out and no one can say why it didn't bring in any sales.
Learning all this on your own usually costs several months and tens of thousands of PLN - spent testing things that an experienced person would have known in advance wouldn't work.
There's a cheaper route. We'll help you secure funding to work with our experts, who run sales and advertising for other companies day in, day out.
From PLN 7,000 to PLN 21,000. It depends on how many people take part.
The co-financing is granted per person, not per company. The more people from your circle who take part, the bigger the budget you have to work with together.
| Number of participants | Value of the engagement | Co-financing 70% | Your own contribution |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 person | PLN 10,000 | PLN 7,000 | PLN 3,000 |
| 2 people | PLN 20,000 | PLN 14,000 | PLN 6,000 |
| 3 people | PLN 30,000 | PLN 21,000 | PLN 9,000 |

Training is subject to 0% VAT - the net and gross amounts are the same.
Participants don't have to be from the same company. It can be you and your business partner, you and an employee, or you and a friend who runs their own business and also wants to use the funding. Each person files their own application.
What this changes in practice
With one person, the full PLN 10,000 covers 50 hours of joint work on your project. With two or three people, there's room for extra activities beyond the meetings themselves - for example preparing a grant application, refining advertising materials or editing video.
And you don't lose your own contribution. It stays available for further work with Hanza Group on advertising campaigns for your project - the scope is agreed individually. This applies to services with at least two participants.
This isn't a promotion. It's a public programme.
The Baza Usług Rozwojowych (Development Services Database, BUR) is a government programme co-financing development services for companies. In each region the funds are managed by a regional operator - it accepts the applications and pays out the co-financing.
In Lower Silesia, companies and sole proprietorships can receive a reimbursement of 70% of the service cost, up to PLN 7,000 per person.
- →Funds are released in application rounds. How much is available right now and on what terms, we check during a call - it takes a few minutes.
The decision to award the funds rests with the operator, not with us. Our job is to assess your chances before submitting the application and to prepare the documentation so they're as strong as possible. The odds of receiving it are very high - we'll estimate them together during the consultation.
Who this path is for
This is a good fit for you if:
Check whether it's you
- →you run a company or a sole proprietorship registered in the Lower Silesia region,
- →you have a product, service or idea you finally want to start selling in a repeatable way,
- →you can commit around 50 hours of meetings over 3 months and will take part personally,
- →you'd rather build something that stays in your company than outsource a campaign and have no idea what's going on inside it.
When this won't work:
Let's be honest
- →If your company is registered outside Lower Silesia - you won't receive co-financing under this programme. But we also help in other regions and have a commercial offer too, so it's still worth a conversation.
- →If you're looking for someone to do everything for you, without your involvement. Here we work together, on your project, and your attendance at the meetings is a condition for claiming the reimbursement.
- →If you don't have a company and can't be enrolled by an employer - the thresholds and rules are different then, and so are the application rounds.
We tailor the scope to where you are
We don't have one off-the-shelf programme that everyone gets as standard. In the first call we establish what stage you're at, and that determines what we work on.
You're just starting out
You have an idea or a first version of the product and don't know whether anyone will pay for it. We work out who your customer really is, what problem you solve for them and what needs to change for them to be ready to pay - before you spend more months and money building blind.
You have a product but you're short of customers
The product is ready, the market just doesn't know about it. We set out a strategy: who to sell to first, with what message and through which channel. Then we launch it together and check against real data what brings in enquiries.
You have your first paying customers
There are sales, but they're irregular and hard to plan. We look for a way to win more customers and have them come in repeatably - testing new audiences, new messages and new channels, and scaling what works.
Four steps. Up to the third, you pay nothing.
A call and an eligibility check
A short call where we get to know your business and check whether you qualify for the programme. We'll say so plainly if we think it isn't the right solution in your situation.
A joint plan for the work
We agree what exactly we'll work on over the coming months and how many people on your side take part. Only on that basis do we know the precise amounts.
Paperwork - on us and free of charge
We prepare the documentation and guide you through the whole application process. You're not left alone with the forms, and you pay nothing for this part - whatever the decision turns out to be.
The actual work on your project
Around 50 hours of meetings spread over three months, in which we build your sales together. You come out of it with the know-how and with concrete, finished results.
A few months of working together.
This is essentially training on your own specific business or project. There won't be slide decks or theory to copy into notes. We sit down together - you and our specialists - and build the things your company needs. We train through practice.
How it usually goes
We start with a kick-off workshop (4-5 hours) in which we break your business down to its fundamentals and lay out a plan for the coming months: who your customer is, what will win them over and where you'll find them.
After that we meet e.g. twice a week for two hours. All online. Things move forward between the meetings - and in the meetings we work on the next stages of the project.
What you're left with after three months
- →A ready offer - described so the customer understands what they're paying for
- →Messaging and content - website copy, advertising materials, specific messages for specific customer groups
- →A website or landing page - if you don't have anything to build on
- →Live campaigns - set up, launched and optimised on an ongoing basis
- →Analytics - so you know what acquiring a customer really costs you
- →Your first enquiries - and the knowledge of what generated them
- →Skills that stay in your company - because we did it together, not behind your back
If your channel is direct sales, then instead of campaigns we build a contact base, set up mailboxes and launch outreach sequences on LinkedIn and over email.
16 years building online businesses
We've been through this dozens of times - from companies that started without a single zloty of capital, at their own kitchen table, to companies that sat down at the table with investment funds. This isn't knowledge from the internet. It's experience from real situations and hard decisions we worked through together with business owners.
What this means for you
- →You work with practitioners, not lecturers. The same people run sales and campaigns for our clients every day.
- →You get a team, not a single person. One is strongest at building websites, another at campaigns, another at grant documentation. The right person sits down to each block.
- →Specialists handle the paperwork. On the team we have someone who guides companies through BUR co-financing - from the application round to reimbursement - and a grant-application expert who has submitted hundreds of them.
- →We don't stop at those three months. If we build something together that works, we can keep running it. We can also help you reach for bigger money - grants, subsidies or capital from investors.

How reimbursement works: the programme runs on a reimbursement basis - meaning the service is paid for first, and the funds come back once the reimbursement is processed. We explain the exact course, the deadlines and how it looks in your case during a call.
Frequently asked questions
To receive the 70% co-financing - yes, you need a sole proprietorship or a company. You can also be enrolled by a company as an employee. People without a business have different thresholds and rules - if that's your situation, tell us during the call.
Yes, this programme covers the Lower Silesia region. If you're from outside the region, let's talk, but the programmes are then less favourable.
No. They can be two completely different people - for example you and a friend who runs their own business and also wants to take part. Each files their own application, and we work together.
We check your eligibility before filing the application, and we take you through the whole process free of charge. In Lower Silesia the odds for companies are high. The decision, though, rests with the operator and we don't guarantee it - which is why you pay nothing for this part.
Formally yes, but we approach it very practically and individually. There are no typical lectures or presentations. We sit down together and build your offer, your website, your advertising materials and campaigns. You gain practical know-how and come away with concrete results.
About 50 hours over roughly three months, so around 4 hours a week. We start with a 4-5 hour workshop, then two two-hour meetings a week. Claiming the reimbursement requires attendance at no fewer than 80% of the meetings.
Yes, and we record it automatically - the meetings are recorded, so you have a complete set of documentation. It protects both sides.
In the development services database the service is listed under Codemy S.A. - the entity we work with to deliver the programme.
Great, we don't start from scratch. We then focus on what's actually missing - most often on new ways of reaching customers or on scaling what already works.
Several options. You can stay with a working channel and run it yourself. We can move to a permanent commercial engagement. We can also reach together for further co-financing or for a training grant aimed at developing your skills further, based on your product or service.
Let's talk.
A short call is enough to check whether you qualify for the programme and how much you can receive. We'll explain what the collaboration looks like in practice, and we'll say so plainly if we think it doesn't make sense in your situation. Leave your details - we'll get back within one business day.
