Spanish term or phrase: ayuda directa a las funciones de los intereses de las empresas
Hi everyone,
I have a huge favor to ask (already posted it for the ES-PL pair but any help in understanding this is much appreciated): could you please explain to me what this bit means?

Here's the whole context (it's a list of services provided by a company):

Servicios de una asociación prestados a sus miembros de consultas y asistencia en la dirección, organización y fundación de empresas y negocios. Servicios de información sobre negocios. Servicios de valoración y estimaciones en los negocios. Servicios de edición y publicación de textos publicitarios. Servicios de relaciones públicas comerciales. Servicios profesionales que prestan una ayuda directa a las funciones de los intereses de las empresas en la Unión Europea y en países terceros. Servicios de promoción y representación de las empresas para preservar y desarrollar su actividad. Servicios de representación y promoción comercial de terceros por medio de avisos publicitarios y anuncios en linea y exposición en un sitio electrónico al que se accede a través de redes informáticas. Servicios de consultas y asesoramiento profesional en la conducción de negocios, servicios de organización de exposiciones y encuentros de empresarios con fines comerciales o de publicidad, también a través de redes globales.

Thank you so much in advance!

Thank you! I've actually received some feedback from natives as well and they pointed out that this could actually mean "lobbying"

Notes to answerer
Asker: But this help would be what exactly? I'm assuming it's help for other companies both in and out of the EU, but I still don't get what they're really helping with?

neutral  philgoddard: This would do if you couldn't find the official translation, but you'd have to leave out "company" because it occurs later in the sentence.
