Business is often about ideas and opportunities. Less about the moments when entrepreneurship becomes the only viable choice. It was from this moment that the story of EROSI emerged, a construction company that is today building its way through continuous work, investment and gradual growth.
Between Multiple Jobs and One Decision
Behind EROSI stands Josipa Končar, an entrepreneur who, before starting her own business, worked simultaneously for several serious systems and performed various jobs.
She organised over-the-counter transports, participated in the purchase and export of logs to the international market, worked in the field of insurance and coordinated shipping. All this in parallel, at a time when her children were small, and family life required stability and presence.
In such circumstances, starting your own company was not a matter of ambition, but a decision to create a sustainable framework for work and family.
The only way out was to open my own company and build my own foundation for the family business.
The opportunity emerged through a concrete job that was not recognized as a priority by the employers at the time. For Joseph, that was the moment when he had to take the risk.
Start without certainty, but with a clear decision
The beginning for Joseph wasn't easy. She missed almost everything. Capital, equipment, security. What she did not lack, and was crucial, is knowledge, experience and willingness to take the job and do it responsibly.
I lacked everything except knowledge and courage.
This was not a decision made in ideal circumstances, but at a time when one had to choose between safety and one's own path. She chose a path that carries risk, but also control. She took her first job without support, without resources and without a safety net. And she did it successfully. That moment was a break. Not because everything was ready, but because she was ready.
Incubator as the first stable framework
An important step in our development was to enter our Coworking Space, And when the opportunity opens up for it, Torpedo Business Incubator.
In addition to financially affordable space, the incubator has provided what is crucial in the initial phase, stability and a professional business framework. A place where she could organize her work, but also meetings with investors and partners.
At the same time, the incubator opened space for connecting with other entrepreneurs and sharing experiences, which further contributed to the development of business.
Gradual growth and investment in capacities
Today, EROSI is active in the field of construction and earthworks, covering projects in construction and civil engineering, from preparatory works and excavations to the execution and organization of works on the construction site.
In their work, they combine precise manual interventions and the use of modern machinery, which allows them efficiency, but also quality control at every step of the project. They put special emphasis on planning, site safety and compliance with all administrative and technical requirements. In addition to classic construction works, they also develop specific projects, from infrastructure interventions to more technically demanding installations and solutions tailored to the needs of investors.
From the beginning until today, Josipa has continuously invested in equipment and development of operational capacities, and the team has grown to six employees.
I only work for my company that is progressing slowly, but surely.
Such an approach enables stable growth, with a focus on reliability, quality of performance and long-term customer relationships.
A message to those who are thinking about their own business
Josipa's experience shows that entrepreneurship does not always start from ideal conditions.
Believe in yourself and don't be afraid. Anything is possible if you have a plan.
In the end, Josipa's story is not about ideal beginnings, but about the decision to move despite everything that is missing. Not from safety, but from the need to take matters into their own hands.
And that is why today it is not about coincidences, but about work, responsibility and everyday decisions that build it further, step by step.
