Afford’s basic idea was awarded a prize at the Budapest Economics University 2003 student enterprise development program. The prize financed the translation company’s development.
The university program’s leadership regularly refers to Afford’s good business practices:
“Proving its good decision in choosing market segment, Afford had orders and revenues directly after its establishment, and it was trusted, and rightly so, that after marketing, they would take on more potential customers and, in turn, paying customers. It is worth mentioning that the university and its departments have also appeared as customers... Soon, a competitor with a larger, well-capitalized translation company approached with a partnership offer, which would not just bring fresh capital into the company, but also significantly increase its market share going forward. Relinquishing some autonomy was the price. After much deliberation, they accepted the offer, and today Afford Translations and Interpreting Ltd. is as we find them, on the market.”

The project and, in relation to this, Afford have been mentioned, among a number of others, in the November 2007 issue of Munkaadó Lapja (Employer’s Journal), and in the 10 December 2007 issue of Figyelő (Monitor).

The translation agency, which grew out of a university project and was already profitable in its first year, has started to grow and look for financing from professional investors. In 2006, owners being already active members of the translation market joined Afford. A fresh approach coupled with professional experience, knowledge of the translation industry market, and translation technology.
With its continuous growth, Afford has been able to keep its place between industry players in the increasingly competitive Hungarian translation market.
Wir blicken mittlerweile auf über zehn Jahre Zusammenarbeit mit Afford zurück, die von gegenseitigem Vertrauen geprägt ist.
Vielen Dank für die gute Zusammenarbeit in all den Jahren. Wir freuen uns auf das nächste Jahrzehnt mit Afford.
We are always very satisfied with Afford’s work and their kindly attitudes. They’re a pleasure to work with!
The UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in Central Europe, has had a contractual relationship with Afford since 2009. Generally, we request the translation of complicated legal texts, often with very short deadlines. We always get quality work that holds our long-standing working relationship together. We especially appreciate the high degree of flexibility, customer orientation and personalized, custom administration, as well as the confidential treatment of materials sent. It is important that we can always count on Afford. Moreover, Afford is open to criticism and suggestions for improvement, and requests these, because they are progress-oriented.
