Findes Group & Partners is a comprehensive business ecosystem headquartered in Ljubljana, Slovenia.

Findes Group & Partners is headquartered at Litostrojska cesta 44a, 1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia. The company operates across multiple international markets with local presence and partnerships in each region.

Findes Group operates in 7 international markets: Slovenia, Serbia, United Arab Emirates (Dubai), Northern Cyprus (TRNC), Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, and Turkey. Each market has dedicated local partners and tailored service offerings.

Findes Group offers a full spectrum of business services organized into six core pillars: Finance & Law (tax optimization, accounting, audits), Insurance (business and personal), IT & AI (software development, automation, blockchain), Marketing (digital, SEO, social media), Media (TV, radio, PR, outdoor), and Investments (venture capital, real estate funds, portfolio management).

Findes Group has served over 4,700 individual clients and more than 700 businesses since its inception. The group manages over €50 million in assets and maintains a network of 75+ active partners across all operational markets.

The Findes ecosystem is an interconnected platform combining consulting services, an educational academy (99+ courses), membership tiers, partnership programs, and investment opportunities. It is designed so that clients can access multiple services through a single trusted relationship rather than managing dozens of separate providers.

Findes Group was founded by Siniša Dagary, a business consultant, sales and leadership trainer, speaker, and coach with extensive experience in launching and scaling international business projects. His vision was to create an all-in-one business ecosystem that eliminates the fragmentation companies face when sourcing professional services.

Unlike traditional consulting firms that specialize in a single area, Findes Group provides an integrated ecosystem covering finance, law, IT, marketing, media, and investments under one roof. This eliminates the need for clients to coordinate between multiple providers and ensures all services are aligned toward the same business objectives.

Yes, Findes Group serves both segments. For businesses (Za Podjetja), it offers corporate services including tax optimization, IT development, marketing, and venture capital. For individuals (Za Posameznike), it provides personal services such as real estate investment, personal insurance, wealth management, and booking/property management.

Findes Group operates primarily in Slovenian, English, and Serbian. The website and services are available in multiple languages to accommodate clients across all 7 markets. Client communication and documentation can be provided in the client's preferred language.

Findes Group operates a hybrid model. While the core services are delivered by the central team and certified partners, the group also offers franchise and partnership opportunities for professionals who want to join the ecosystem as local experts, referral partners, or franchise operators in new markets.

The Findes partnership network consists of 75+ verified professionals and companies across all operational markets. Partners include accountants, lawyers, IT developers, marketing agencies, insurance brokers, and real estate agents who have been vetted and integrated into the Findes ecosystem to deliver consistent quality.

Yes, Findes Group offers a free initial consultation call ('Rezerviraj klic') where potential clients can discuss their needs, receive preliminary recommendations, and understand which services within the ecosystem are most relevant to their situation. There is no obligation to proceed after the consultation.

Findes Group has over 25 years of combined team experience in financial services, consulting, and business development. The group has evolved from a traditional consulting practice into a full-service business ecosystem serving international markets with integrated digital and physical service delivery.

Findes Group maintains quality through a rigorous internal governance framework. Each service division (Finance, Insurance, IT, Marketing, Media, Investments) operates under dedicated leadership with industry-specific KPIs and quarterly performance reviews. Cross-divisional quality is ensured through unified client management protocols, shared CRM systems, and regular inter-departmental coordination meetings. Additionally, all partners undergo a thorough vetting process and must meet Findes quality standards before joining the ecosystem. Client satisfaction is tracked through NPS surveys and regular feedback loops.

Findes Group offers comprehensive blockchain services including: smart contract development and auditing, real estate and asset tokenization, decentralized application (dApp) development, token economics design, NFT marketplace development, DeFi protocol integration, blockchain-based identity verification, supply chain transparency solutions, and Web3 consulting for traditional businesses.

Blockchain provides tangible business benefits including: transparent and immutable record-keeping, automated contract execution (smart contracts), fractional ownership of assets through tokenization, reduced intermediary costs in transactions, enhanced supply chain traceability, improved data security and privacy, new revenue models through tokenized services, and access to global liquidity pools.

Asset tokenization converts ownership rights of real-world assets (real estate, equity, art) into digital tokens on a blockchain. Findes implements this through: legal structuring of the asset vehicle, smart contract development for token issuance, compliance framework design (KYC/AML), marketplace development for secondary trading, and investor onboarding systems. This enables fractional ownership and increased liquidity.

Findes works with multiple blockchain networks based on project requirements: Ethereum (for maximum decentralization and DeFi integration), Polygon (for lower transaction costs), Solana (for high-speed applications), Hyperledger (for enterprise private blockchains), and Binance Smart Chain (for specific DeFi use cases). Network selection is based on transaction volume, cost requirements, and regulatory considerations.

Costs vary significantly by project scope. Simple smart contracts start from €10,000-25,000. Tokenization platforms range from €50,000-150,000. Full DeFi protocols or NFT marketplaces can range from €100,000-500,000+. Findes provides detailed cost breakdowns after the discovery phase and can structure projects in phases to manage investment risk.

Smart contract security is ensured through: formal verification methods, comprehensive unit and integration testing, third-party security audits (partnering with established audit firms), bug bounty programs for critical contracts, multi-signature governance mechanisms, upgradeable contract patterns where appropriate, and continuous monitoring after deployment.

Yes, regulatory compliance is integrated into every blockchain project. Findes works with legal partners specializing in digital asset regulation across its operational markets. Services include: regulatory landscape analysis, compliance framework design, KYC/AML integration, securities law assessment for token offerings, data protection compliance, and ongoing regulatory monitoring as laws evolve.

Web3 refers to the next evolution of the internet built on decentralized technologies. Findes helps companies transition through: Web3 strategy workshops, identifying relevant use cases (loyalty programs, digital ownership, community governance), technical implementation, user experience design for Web3 interactions, and gradual migration paths that do not disrupt existing operations.

Yes, Findes develops NFT solutions for various use cases beyond digital art: real estate ownership certificates, event ticketing systems, loyalty and membership programs, intellectual property licensing, supply chain authentication, gaming assets, and brand engagement campaigns. The team handles smart contract development, marketplace integration, and user-facing applications.

Timelines depend on complexity: smart contract development (4-8 weeks), tokenization platform MVP (3-4 months), full marketplace with trading (5-8 months), and enterprise blockchain integration (6-12 months). All projects follow agile methodology with regular deliverables so clients can validate progress and adjust direction throughout development.

Yes, blockchain integration with existing systems is a common requirement. Findes builds bridge solutions connecting blockchain networks with traditional databases, ERPs, CRMs, and payment systems through APIs and middleware. This hybrid approach allows companies to benefit from blockchain features without replacing their entire technology stack.

Industries seeing the highest ROI from blockchain include: real estate (tokenization, transparent transactions), supply chain (traceability, authentication), financial services (DeFi, cross-border payments), healthcare (medical records, drug traceability), luxury goods (provenance verification), and gaming (digital asset ownership). Findes has experience across all these verticals.

Yes, Findes offers pure advisory services for companies exploring blockchain. This includes: blockchain readiness assessment, use case identification workshops, technology landscape evaluation, build-vs-buy analysis, vendor selection support, and strategic roadmap development. Advisory engagements help companies make informed decisions before committing to development investment.

DeFi (Decentralized Finance) refers to financial services built on blockchain without traditional intermediaries. Findes can help implement: lending and borrowing protocols, decentralized exchanges, yield farming strategies, liquidity pool management, staking mechanisms, and cross-chain bridges. Implementation includes both technical development and economic model design.

Findes offers a structured evaluation process: a 2-hour discovery workshop to understand your business processes, identification of pain points that blockchain could address, cost-benefit analysis comparing blockchain vs. traditional solutions, regulatory feasibility assessment, and a recommendation report with clear go/no-go guidance. This evaluation is available as a standalone service starting from €3,000.

Findes Group provides comprehensive business consulting covering: strategic planning and market positioning, operational efficiency optimization, international market entry strategy, financial restructuring and growth planning, digital transformation roadmaps, sales process optimization, leadership development, and M&A advisory. Services are tailored to each client's industry, size, and growth stage.

Typical clients range from established SMEs seeking growth acceleration to startups preparing for market entry. The consulting division serves companies across manufacturing, services, technology, retail, and professional services sectors. Client revenue typically ranges from €500K to €50M, though the group also works with larger enterprises on specific projects.

Findes leverages its presence in 7 markets to provide hands-on market entry support. The approach includes: market research and opportunity assessment, regulatory and compliance mapping, local partner identification, entity formation and tax structuring, go-to-market strategy development, and ongoing operational support through local Findes partners in the target market.

Engagement duration varies by scope. Strategic assessments typically take 2-4 weeks, implementation projects run 3-6 months, and ongoing advisory retainers are structured as 12-month agreements with quarterly reviews. Complex transformation projects may extend to 12-18 months depending on organizational size and change complexity.

Yes, Findes has a dedicated startup advisory track covering: business model validation, financial planning and fundraising preparation, legal entity structuring, go-to-market strategy, pitch deck development, and investor introductions through the Findes network. Startup packages are priced differently from enterprise consulting to accommodate early-stage budgets.

Each engagement begins with clearly defined KPIs agreed upon with the client. Common metrics include: revenue growth percentage, cost reduction targets, market share gains, operational efficiency improvements, customer acquisition cost reduction, and employee satisfaction scores. Progress is tracked through monthly reporting and quarterly business reviews.

Yes, Findes provides restructuring advisory for companies facing financial difficulties, operational inefficiencies, or strategic pivots. Services include: financial analysis and cash flow optimization, organizational redesign, cost reduction programs, stakeholder communication management, and turnaround strategy development. The team has experience with both voluntary restructuring and distressed situations.

While Findes consultants have broad business expertise, the group maintains specialized knowledge in: real estate and construction, financial services, technology and SaaS, hospitality and tourism, manufacturing, and professional services. Industry-specific insights are combined with cross-sector best practices to deliver innovative solutions.

Consulting services are priced based on engagement scope and duration. Models include: fixed-fee projects (for defined deliverables), monthly retainers (for ongoing advisory), day-rate consulting (for specific interventions), and success-fee arrangements (for measurable outcomes like fundraising or M&A). A detailed proposal with transparent pricing is provided after the initial discovery session.

A key differentiator of Findes consulting is seamless integration with the broader ecosystem. A growth strategy might incorporate IT development for digital products, marketing execution for customer acquisition, legal structuring for new entities, and investment connections for funding — all coordinated through a single relationship manager rather than multiple disconnected providers.

Findes offers both remote and in-person consulting. Most strategic advisory and regular check-ins are conducted via video conference for efficiency. On-site workshops, team facilitation sessions, and complex stakeholder meetings are conducted in person. The hybrid model ensures accessibility regardless of client location while maintaining personal connection for critical moments.

Findes consultants bring a minimum of 10 years of relevant industry experience, with many holding advanced degrees (MBA, CFA, CPA) and professional certifications. The team includes former C-level executives, successful entrepreneurs, and specialists in finance, technology, marketing, and operations. All consultants complete ongoing professional development through the Findes Academy.

Yes, digital transformation is a core consulting offering. Findes combines strategic consulting with its IT & AI division to deliver end-to-end transformation: from digital maturity assessment and strategy development through technology selection, implementation oversight, change management, and post-launch optimization. This integrated approach eliminates the gap between strategy and execution.

Yes, Findes specializes in helping non-EU companies enter European markets, particularly through Slovenia as an EU gateway. Services include: EU regulatory compliance assessment, entity formation and tax optimization, local talent acquisition, distribution channel development, and ongoing compliance management. The group's multi-market presence provides practical on-the-ground support.

Project-based work has no time commitment beyond the project scope.

New client onboarding follows a structured process: initial consultation call, proposal review and agreement signing, onboarding questionnaire (business details, goals, access credentials), kickoff meeting with assigned team, project plan or service schedule creation, tool and platform access setup, and first deliverable or milestone within 2-4 weeks. A dedicated relationship manager coordinates the entire process.

Absolutely. Most clients start with a single service addressing their most pressing need and expand as they experience the ecosystem benefits. There is no requirement to use multiple services simultaneously. The relationship manager will identify opportunities for additional value but never pressure clients into unnecessary services. Ecosystem discounts apply whenever additional services are added.

Findes provides support in Slovenian, English, and Serbian as primary languages. For other markets (Turkey, UAE, Bulgaria, Bosnia), local partners provide native-language support. Written materials and contracts can be provided in the client's preferred language. The Academy content is primarily in English and Slovenian with expansion planned.

All services are delivered by in-house teams and certified technology partners.

Findes follows a structured approach: first identifying repetitive, rule-based processes suitable for automation; then designing AI solutions (chatbots, document processing, predictive analytics); followed by pilot implementation with measurable KPIs; and finally scaling successful automations across the organization. The focus is on practical ROI rather than technology for its own sake.

The development team builds: SaaS platforms and web applications, mobile apps (iOS and Android), e-commerce solutions, CRM and ERP customizations, client portals and dashboards, booking and reservation systems, internal workflow tools, and API integrations between existing systems.

Project costs depend on scope and complexity. Small automation projects start from €5,000-15,000. Custom web applications range from €20,000-80,000. Enterprise platforms and AI solutions typically range from €50,000-250,000+. Findes provides detailed estimates after a discovery phase and offers flexible payment structures aligned with project milestones.

Yes, digital transformation consulting is a core offering that bridges the consulting and IT divisions. The process includes: digital maturity assessment, technology landscape analysis, transformation roadmap development, vendor selection support, change management planning, implementation oversight, and post-launch optimization. This ensures strategy translates into executed technology.

Yes, all development projects include a warranty period (typically 3-6 months) and optional ongoing support packages.

Monthly retainers start from €1,500.

Yes, AI integration with existing systems is a common engagement. The team specializes in: adding AI chatbots to existing websites, implementing predictive analytics on existing databases, automating document processing within current workflows, enhancing search with natural language processing, and adding recommendation engines to e-commerce platforms — all without requiring a complete system rebuild.

The most requested AI implementations include: customer service chatbots (reducing support tickets by 40-60%), document classification and data extraction (eliminating manual data entry), sales forecasting and lead scoring, personalized content recommendations, automated report generation, and process mining to identify optimization opportunities.

Clients have full visibility into progress and can adjust priorities between sprints.

Begin with a free discovery call to discuss your needs. The IT team will then conduct a detailed requirements workshop (1-3 sessions), produce a technical specification and project proposal, and present a timeline with cost estimate. Upon agreement, the project kicks off with a sprint planning session. The discovery phase is typically free for projects above €20,000.

Corporate legal services include: contract drafting and review, corporate governance advisory, intellectual property management, employment law compliance, regulatory affairs and licensing, dispute resolution and litigation support, data protection and GDPR compliance, and cross-border legal coordination.

The ratio-based fee structure ensures alignment between franchise success and group objectives.

The maximum number of franchises per country is defined by Findes Group based on market size, population density, and economic potential. This ensures each franchise partner has sufficient market opportunity without oversaturation. The specific cap for each country is disclosed during the franchise application process.
