Our Business Planning & Investment Services in Hungary
From early-stage startups to corporate expansion, we offer end-to-end support across four service areas.
01
- Market research and feasibility: demand, competitor and pricing analysis for Hungary and the wider CEE region, using Hungarian Central Statistical Office (KSH) data and local market insight.
- Business model development: revenue models, pricing and channel strategy suited to Hungarian customers and EU single-market access.
- Financial projections: three- to five-year models in HUF and EUR that reflect Hungarian costs and taxes, including 9% corporate tax or the KIVA regime, local business tax (HIPA), 27% VAT and employer contributions.
- Operational planning: location, hiring, payroll, suppliers and premises in Budapest or regional cities.
- Strategic roadmapping: milestones linked to funding rounds, grant deadlines and expansion into neighbouring markets.
02
- Investment readiness: data room, Kft.-to-Zrt. conversion where investors require it, cap table and governance clean-up.
- VC and private equity advisory: preparing for and negotiating with Hungarian and regional venture capital and private equity funds, including state-backed funds such as Hiventures.
- Funding strategy: combining equity, bank lending, state-subsidised loan schemes and EU-funded grants in the right order.
- Investor relations: reporting packs and board materials in English and Hungarian.
- M&A advisory: buy-side and sell-side support, valuation and due diligence for Hungarian targets, including foreign direct investment screening where it applies.
03
- Business plans for seed and early-stage funding: structured for angels, accelerators and co-investment funds.
- Angel and incubator connections: introductions to Budapest’s angel networks, accelerators and incubators.
- Go-to-market strategy: launching in Hungary and using Budapest as a base for the wider CEE region.

Hungary combines its own national incentives with significant EU funding. We help you find the schemes that fit your plan, build them into your financial model and prepare strong applications.
Hungary actively supports investment in manufacturing and high-value sectors, including automotive and e-mobility, batteries, electronics, life sciences and pharmaceuticals, defence industry, ICT and AI, and green technology. Larger projects can qualify for individually negotiated incentives through the Hungarian Investment Promotion Agency (HIPA), such as cash grants and the development tax allowance.
As an EU member, Hungary gives you full single-market access and EU-standard regulation, together with one of the lowest corporate tax rates in the EU (a flat 9%), the KIVA small business tax option, electronic company registration and online tax administration. We help you plan for areas that change frequently, such as sector taxes, VAT rules and annual tax packages
SMEs can access subsidised finance and grants through state-backed loan schemes (including the Széchenyi Card Programme), the Hungarian Development Bank (MFB), EU-funded operational programmes such as GINOP Plusz, and research and innovation grants from the National Research, Development and Innovation Office (NKFIH). Local chambers of commerce also offer advisory services.
Hungary’s startup scene is supported by state-backed venture funds, notably Hiventures, which often co-invests alongside private angels and VCs, as well as regional private VC funds and the Budapest Stock Exchange’s Xtend market for growing SMEs. We help you prepare for each of these and structure rounds that combine public and private capital.
