Foreign Business Owners Association, Split-Dalmatia

Behind every business there are usually a lot of questions nobody prepared us for.

This week, together with KANCELARIJA d.o.o. at Tehnološki Park Split, we hosted a conversation around digital accounting, Fiscalization 2.0, automation, and the practical realities of running a business in Croatia.

What made the session valuable wasn’t only the information shared, but the openness of the discussion itself. Real questions, real experiences, and a room full of people trying to build things better.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for another FBOA community event.

Running a business often means spending years learning things nobody taught us: taxes, accounting systems, administration... and figuring out how to make it all less painful.

Together with Tehnološki Park Split and KANCELARIJA d.o.o., we’re creating a space to talk about smarter ways of working, cloud-based solutions, and practical tools for entrepreneurs.

Come join the conversation.

This May, members of our community are not only speaking, but organizing a Women’s Health Panel designed to bring real, practical insight into women’s health.

Led by:

A clear, science-backed guidance in a space built for women.

Sometimes the most useful information doesn’t come from official guides, but from sitting at the table with people dealing with the same things.

At the latest FBOA Hospitality Meet-Up, members talked about fiscalization changes, salary updates, employee benefits, and how the upcoming season is looking from the inside.

We put together a short summary of the discussion.

Business Brunch moments ☕

At our latest FBOA gathering, each member took a few minutes to introduce themselves and share what they’re working on. From early-stage founders to established business owners, the mix of industries and backgrounds keeps getting richer. This time, we were especially happy to welcome several new faces into the community.

Exchanging contacts for accountants and lawyers. Comparing notes on permits and regulations. Talking about growth, hiring, and what it actually takes to run a business as a foreign founder here.

No panels. No formal agenda. Just real people, real businesses, and real conversations.
