Residents still have to queue at the counter for everything

Start PME was a key partner in developing our project. From the first contact, their high level of professionalism, organisation and focus on results was clear. Their support was always close, with clear guidance at every stage, allowing us to move forward confidently and efficiently. I would particularly highlight Miguel Gomes for his excellent work, availability and ability to simplify processes that are normally complex. His experience made all the difference to the success of the application. I recommend Start PME to any company that values a competent, structured partner genuinely committed to results.

I am already very pleased with your work. Mónica has been impeccable and always available for all my questions and concerns. Dr Liliana, with all her dedication, commitment, professionalism and kindness, helped us overcome the initial challenges. Julie, I was very warmly welcomed at the Avenida office and can only thank you, because this beginning is essential to finding people we can work with who share the same charisma, enthusiasm, dedication and care in a process that, at an early stage, is always more bureaucratic and requires patience.

Start PME helped us plan and develop our rural tourism project in Mértola. From the initial stage with the architecture team through to securing funding. Today, I can say that our dream exists largely thanks to the effort and professionalism of the Project Director and her team, who ensured everything went as smoothly as possible.

Working with Start PME has been a rewarding experience, enabling us, as a non-profit association, to develop applications aligned with the goals of Portugal 2030. Their flexible approach and deep understanding of our needs have been essential in turning ideas into concrete, sustainable projects.

I found solid support for European funding at Start PME, particularly in project director Miguel Gomes, someone I trust and respect, whose support has been essential in facing extensive government bureaucracy and keeping me informed about available grants and opportunities. (...) That is why I will gladly remain a Start PME client. Thank you.

Our work with Start PME has been essential to the support programmes Modera Engenharia has applied for and has been a differentiating factor in the success rate we have achieved.

We consider the performance very good, from preparing the application through submission and follow-up. We would also highlight Start PME's complete availability in answering the questions that arise.

I want to thank you for all your commitment and dedication throughout these months of work. I feel satisfied and reassured with Start PME because I know I can trust the team's work and that they pay attention to companies' needs.

Our experience with Start PME is still recent but extremely positive. Luís helped us guide and organise our ideas and find the best way to bring them to life. He has been excellent, and I recommend Start PME to anyone venturing into entrepreneurship in Portugal.

I am very satisfied with all the work being carried out and would recommend your company to other colleagues.

I am pleased with the commitment you have shown throughout our application and look forward to working with you to bring it to fruition.
