Services for start-up entrepreneurs

If you are thinking about starting a business, contact a business adviser. You can leave your contact details by clicking on the image on the right-hand side of the page. The service is free and confidential.

Before your first meeting, check out suomi.fi/companies and the Yritystulkki (in Finnish) website. On these pages you will find a collection of useful information on entrepreneurship and starting a business, as well as easy-to-use electronic tools to help you work on your idea. You can also use the Business Services’ own business plan template.

The start-up allowance is a discretionary income support granted by the TE Office to someone starting a full-time business. If you decide to apply for start-up allowance, book an appointment with a business adviser in good time.

You can test the feasibility of your business idea through light entrepreneurship or a billing cooperative. A billing service can be a good solution if you are considering part-time self-employment or want to test the attractiveness of your service and your sales skills before starting your own business. Find out more about the possibilities of light entrepreneurship, for example on the websites of Eezy, Uko or Osuuspankki.

If you are planning to start a business or are at the beginning of your entrepreneurial path, you can take part in entrepreneurial training, which is also organised by the TE Office in Loimaa or online. Entrepreneurship training provides you with basic information on entrepreneurship and starting a business. You can apply for the training through the TE Office.
