Abstract

Ovaj diplomski rad analizira različite izvore financiranja start-up poduzeća, fokusirajući se na Europske strukturne i investicijske fondove (ESIF), državne potpore i privatna ulaganja. Rad pruža pregled teoretskih okvira za razumijevanje start-up poduzeća, njihove faze razvoja i značaj u hrvatskom gospodarstvu. Istražuje prednosti i nedostatke različitih oblika financiranja, ističući kako ESIF i državne potpore nude značajnu podršku, ali uz složene administrativne procese, dok privatna ulaganja omogućuju brži pristup kapitalu uz veći rizik. Analizom konkretnih slučajeva start-up poduzeća Ding Applications d.o.o., Spiritus Memoria d.o.o., i BiteMe Nutrition d.o.o., rad pokazuje kako kombinacija različitih izvora financiranja može optimizirati resurse i podržati rast poduzeća. Preporuke za buduće poduzetnike uključuju pažljivo istraživanje financijskih opcija, upravljanje administrativnim izazovima i aktivno traženje prilika za poboljšanje pristupa kapitalu. Rad doprinosi razumijevanju složenosti financiranja start-up poduzeća i nudi smjernice za optimizaciju financijskih strategija.

Abstract (english)

This thesis examines various sources of financing for start-up companies, with a focus on European Structural and Investment Funds (ESIF), government grants, and private investments. It provides a theoretical overview of start-up enterprises, their developmental stages, and their significance in the Croatian economy. The study explores the advantages and disadvantages of different financing options, highlighting how ESIF and government grants offer substantial support but come with complex administrative processes, while private investments provide quicker access to capital with higher risk. By analyzing specific case studies of start-up companies Ding Applications d.o.o., Spiritus Memoria d.o.o., and BiteMe Nutrition d.o.o., the thesis demonstrates how a combination of different financing sources can optimize resources and support business growth. Recommendations for future entrepreneurs include thoroughly exploring financing options, managing administrative challenges, and actively seeking opportunities to improve capital access. This work contributes to understanding the complexities of start-up financing and offers guidelines for optimizing financial strategies.
