Frequently asked questions

What is Grupul Antreprenorilor?

Grupul Antreprenorilor is a community of over 285,000 Romanian entrepreneurs, organised as a public platform with a business directory and an AI assistant. You list yourself, receive requests for quotes, build relationships and appear in the answers AI engines give when someone searches for services like yours.

Is it free?

Yes. You list yourself free and you stay free: a public profile, presence in AI search, a unique member number and a dofollow link to Facebook. You pay only if you want the right to post in the Facebook group and to be promoted — through the annual plans VIP (€200/year), Business Page (€200/year) or Founders (€300/year, a discounted bundle that includes VIP + Business Page).

What is the difference between the two directories?

The Entrepreneurs Directory shows the people behind the businesses — every member appears there. The Business Directory shows the companies: any member with a completed business (a real company name plus a sector or services) appears free of charge, but companies on the Business Page plan (€200/year) sit at the front, with a Verified badge, a link to their website and a gallery. You pay for placement and trust, not for mere presence.

How do I create an account?

You enter your email address and receive a sign-in link — no password to remember. You click the link, you are signed in and you can complete your profile straight away. The whole process takes under a minute.

How do recommendations work?

Any signed-in member can leave a recommendation (a testimonial) and endorse a profile. Recommendations go through manual moderation before publication; those tied to a confirmed transaction receive the “Verified” badge.

How do I choose the right plan?

If you only want to be listed and found, stay on the free plan. If you want the right to post and comment in the Facebook group, choose VIP (€200/year) — as a recognised member you post directly, whenever you like, without waiting for approval. VIP also gives you a promoted profile, the Elite badge, maximum visibility (people find you first) and help unblocking a banned Facebook account (case by case, not guaranteed). If you have a company and want a page in the Business Directory, choose Business Page (€200/year) — a separate purchase that anyone can make, and from which you can post directly as the business. If you want all of it, choose Founders (€300/year): a bundle with a €100 discount that includes VIP + Business Page together (€400 bought separately), with the Founding Member badge, position #1 in both directories (ahead of VIP members and business pages) and an invitation to the community's events — online and offline, meetup sessions with fast-networking software and occasional in-person meetings.

What does it cost and how do I pay?

All plans are annual, in euros: VIP €200/year, Business Page €200/year and Founders €300/year (€400 bought separately, a €100 discount), plus any applicable VAT. Payment is taken once a year through Stripe and renews automatically until cancelled. There are no monthly subscriptions.

How do I cancel a plan?

From the billing portal (Stripe), reachable from your account, you stop the renewal. You stay active until the end of the year you have already paid for, after which the account returns to the free version — you keep your profile and your listing, but you lose the right to post in the group and the promotion.

How long before I appear and before I can post in the group?

It is all instant. Your directory listing appears as soon as you sign up or as soon as the payment clears, and in the group you post directly, whenever you like — with no join request and no waiting for approval on each post. As a recognised member of the community you follow Facebook's content rules, and we monitor the community from a distance.

How do I receive the invoice, and in what currency do I pay?

Payments are processed from Cyprus, in euros (EUR). The invoice is generated automatically and is available at any time in your account, under the invoice history, where you can download it as a PDF.

What automations help me on the platform?

We pre-fill your profile automatically from your website or Facebook page link, Oracol (the AI assistant) guides you conversationally through listing and recommends suitable connections, and you periodically receive an email report with your profile's statistics (views, clicks, enquiries).

What is Oracol?

Oracol is the platform's AI assistant. It answers natural-language questions in Romanian — for example “Who does accounting in Cluj?” — and recommends suitable entrepreneurs with a direct contact link. You can also use it to discover your own positioning in the market.

Is there a Facebook group?

Yes. The brand started in 2017 as a Facebook group and has grown to over 285,000 members — that community is still active. Anyone can read it, but the right to post and comment in the group comes with the VIP plan (€200/year).
