Starting out with quite low investments, but focusing on corporate clients, the founders of some companies in the field of linguistic services managed to generate turnovers worth several hundreds thousand euros after the first year. Diana Dodu set up Media English Center, a company providing language training and consultancy for devising training plans in 2008 with initial investments of 1,000 euros. In late 2009, the company had reached turnover worth 650,000 RON (156,000 euros) and this year the founder expects turnover to rise to 1-1.1m RON (250,000 euros). The business started with just two employees and it now works with 33 collaborators. Dodu plans to expand the major projects the company carries out at present, create an e-learning platform for foreign languages. Another provider of linguistic services and educational training is Euro Educational of Brasov, founded by Razvan Vasilescu in April 2003. Initial investments were aimed at the acquisition of a printer and a scanner, worth 230 RON. The company's turnover revolved around 250,000 euros last year, but estimates for 2010 point to growth to a little above 300,000 euros. On short term, the company wants to become ISO certified in conference organisation, hire another two persons and acquire simultaneous translation equipment.
