Good to know

  • You stay in control. You log in and send the forms yourself with your own bank IDs. We never ask for your passwords.
  • We explain, you decide. We are not lawyers or accountants. For tax planning or bookkeeping we recommend an accountant (tilitoimisto).
  • Your residence permit: if you're unsure whether your permit allows business activity, check it on migri.fi before registering.
  • Starttiraha: if you want the start-up grant, it must be applied for before you start your business, so book your call early.
  • Payment: after the free call you get a payment link. Not happy with the paid call? Tell us within 7 days and we'll refund you.
