WHEN YOU NEED GOOD ADVICE

Entrepreneur-specific financing advice

Financing of companies comes from a number of sources. The investments provided by owners and the income received from business activity is sometimes insufficient when, for example, the business is expanding or otherwise requires investments. In this case, additional funding is required on the basis of borrowed capital and/or shareholders’ equity. In some situations, it is also possible to receive a grant for commercial activity that does not have to be paid back.

Plenty of assistance is available for finance planning and applying for finance.

Business Rovaniemi advises you in different business situations for investigating financing possibilities and finding financing alternatives. Through us, we will provide information and assistance in finding and applying for a variety of public support instruments. Together with you we will map out the possibilities for using public support for business development and investment projects. We help businesses in making project plans and applications.
