Product status as of 2 November 2026
Review the eight-month €200,000 budget, its €180,000 operating and €20,000 setup allocation and cost tracking for expanded product scope.
ReBALKAN currently offers real-estate, vehicle and new/used product listings in its North Macedonia pilot market, in Turkish, English, Macedonian and Albanian. Product listings include a category tree, condition, price, location, filtering, listing and detail pages. Accounts, favourites, listing/image management, administrator review, the blog and business websites share the platform infrastructure.
The €200,000 target and 31 December 2026 fundraising date remain the current discussion framework. The eight-month operating period is scheduled around funding becoming legally available and operations starting; it does not imply eight months of spending before the end of 2026. Start/end dates and phased funding must be specified in investment documents. The €180,000 operating and €20,000 setup/equipment totals are retained. Product and education-beta content, AI use, cloud/CDN, moderation, support and eligible referral bonuses must be allocated within the implementation budget rather than silently added above it. Team roles, founder compensation and employment taxes require reconciliation.
How the €200,000 budget is structured
Of the total budget, €180,000 is allocated to eight months of operating expenses and €20,000 to office setup, technical equipment and professional field equipment.
Monthly operating expenditure is projected at €22,500, producing an eight-month operating total of €180,000.

People and employment obligations
The total allocation of €62,000 covers net salaries, taxes and insurance obligations. The objective is to strengthen the core team required for software development, content, sales, customer relations, field operations and platform administration.
Advertising and promotion
The largest allocation, €80,000, provides an average advertising and promotion budget of €10,000 per month. It is intended to accelerate brand awareness, user and professional-business acquisition, and commercial validation in the pilot market.
Advertising expenditure will be allocated according to monthly opportunities, channel performance and audience-acquisition costs. Potential channels include:
- Television and radio
- Printed media and outdoor advertising
- Billboards
- Promotional products and field campaigns
- Influencer partnerships
- YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and TikTok
- Search engine and digital performance campaigns
The allocation will remain flexible, with priority given to channels producing stronger and measurable results at a lower cost.
Office setup and equipment
The €20,000 office and equipment allocation will be used in two stages.
| Investment stage | Amount |
|---|---|
| Initial office setup and essential equipment | Approximately €10,000 |
| Subsequent needs and professional field equipment | Approximately €10,000 |
| Total office and equipment budget | €20,000 |
This allocation may cover the office deposit, signage, furniture, computers, monitors, networking devices, presentation equipment, audio-visual recording tools and professional field equipment. Purchases will be made according to actual need and price comparisons.
Overall budget allocation
| Use of funds | Total | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Personnel and employment obligations | €62,000 | 31% |
| Advertising and promotion | €80,000 | 40% |
| Office and vehicle expenses | €18,000 | 9% |
| Technical, administrative and field operations | €20,000 | 10% |
| Office setup and equipment | €20,000 | 10% |
| Total | €200,000 | 100% |
Technical, administrative and field operations
The €20,000 operational allocation covers servers and cloud services, software tools, accounting, legal work, administration, travel and field activities. ReBALKAN intends to continue using strong technical services for performance, security and availability.
Referrals and revenue sharing
Referral links and QR codes support acquisition tracking. The current referral description outlines a 10% bonus over ten years on referred users’ property and vehicle token/Premium payments. This scope does not automatically extend to product listings. Automated accrual, payout, tax treatment and reconciliation must be verified separately. Eligible bonuses belong in acquisition and revenue-sharing costs in the financial plan.
Contingencies and flexibility
The plan does not contain a separate emergency reserve. Unexpected expenses would initially be managed by adjusting the relevant month’s advertising, travel or deferrable equipment budget.
All figures are estimates. Where an expense is lower than anticipated, the remaining amount does not have to be spent. It may be transferred into company reserves and retained for unexpected requirements in later months.
How will spending be controlled?
Actual expenditure will be compared with results. Advertising will be assessed by performance, equipment purchases by genuine need and operating costs by the company’s available cash position. The objective is not simply to consume the budget but to ensure that each expense contributes measurably to growth.
Measurement and commercial validation
Working software and technical tests do not establish user growth, revenue or investment returns. Dated active-listing/user counts, paid conversion, collected revenue, acquisition costs and retention should be presented separately during due diligence. Delivered results, beta experiments and high-growth scenarios must not be combined as one actual total.
What does the plan mean for investors?
This plan explains the intended allocation of the €200,000 funding target. Actual expenditure may change according to market conditions, team requirements, advertising opportunities and revenue generated by the company.

This budget is a forward-looking management plan. The amounts are approximate and may be reallocated according to ReBALKAN’s operational requirements. It is not investment advice, a binding spending commitment or a guarantee of returns.
Future objectives
Jobs and services, accommodation/tourism/event bookings, restaurant QR menus and table ordering, food/grocery orders, payment-delivery-courier integration and social interaction remain development objectives. Live product listings do not establish an operational checkout, payment, seller settlement or delivery service. New countries and languages depend on local data, operations, funding and validated demand.
