Information about starting a company

Financial support for starting a company

When you have made the decision to start a company in Riihimäki, Janakkala, Lope or Hausjärvi, contact us as soon as possible. As a starting entrepreneur, you can receive start-up money or you may be entitled to unemployment insurance.

Unemployment insurance for entrepreneurs and self-employed people. (Työmarkkinatori.fi.)

With the help of start-up money, you secure your livelihood in the early stages of business operations, when the income from entrepreneurship is still small.

If you are an unemployed job seeker when you start your business, we will not evaluate your main and sideline activities during the first four months. For this reason, you can choose for yourself whether to apply for start-up money or unemployment insurance for this period. We evaluate your company's main and secondary activities after the first four months.

In order to receive unemployment insurance, the conditions for receiving unemployment insurance must be met: you must apply for and be ready to accept a full-time job and keep your job application valid. If necessary, unemployment insurance can be matched with the income you receive from business activities.
