Funding and investment

Does your company – whether you are a new entrepreneur, startup, or SME – need funding for development, investments, or growth? We help you plan the necessary steps, identify public and private financing options, and apply for the most suitable funding for your business.

The right business financing accelerates development

Behind every successful company is a well-considered and effective financing solution. Whether it’s starting your business, developing operations, expanding internationally, financing investments, or funding a business acquisition in an ownership change, timely and appropriate financing plays a key role. We also provide coaching to finalize your business plan before applying for start-up grants or other funding.

Expertise in planning and applying for funding solutions

We will guide you on what type of funding is available for your business in different situations: public or private financing, loans, equity funding, ELY Centre funding for businesses, Finnvera business financing, or other business subsidies. We help you design a financing package that supports your company’s development goals, investments, and long-term growth.

Funding options with experience and insight to support your growth

We offer coaching and insights into different business financing options, financiers, financing terms, and application processes, taking into account your company’s overall situation. Contact us well in advance before starting your project, as public funding cannot be granted for a project that has already begun.

Our financing services for companies are free of charge (excluding possible external expert coaching). We serve businesses operating in the regions of Heinävesi, Ilomantsi, Joensuu, Outokumpu, Polvijärvi, Kitee, Rääkkylä, and Tohmajärvi.
