Advocacy and goals
Sustainable and profitable business through advisory services
Finnish Enterprise Agencies acts as an advocate for new entrepreneurs and free business advisory services. We promote the possibility for everyone to set up a company in a safe, prudent and supported manner – anywhere in Finland.
1. Securing the funding of business advisory services
In order to provide high-quality and impartial business advice in the future as well, sufficient and predictable funding is required. We work to ensure that the guidance is seen as part of public employment and vitality services and supported by permanent funding solutions, not just one-off projects.
2. Promoting the establishment of companies
We want to make it easy and smooth to establish a company. We contribute to entrepreneurship being a feasible option in different life situations: at times of change in unemployment, studies or careers. We believe that good guidance can prevent failures and support growth-orientation.
3. Strengthening the appreciation of entrepreneurship
Entrepreneurship needs visibility and appreciation. We highlight the significance of entrepreneurship for society to decision-makers, the media and the general public – and present concrete stories about people who have dared to become entrepreneurs. A positive entrepreneurial atmosphere encourages new entrepreneurs to start.
4. Development of entrepreneurship services and networks
We work to ensure that business advisory services are available to everyone, regardless of language, location or background. We develop digital advisory services and intensify cooperation with financiers, educational institutions and business developers. Our goal is a customer-oriented and smooth package in which the entrepreneur does not need to know where to seek help – it is enough for them to receive it.
5. Dismantling administrative barriers
The bureaucracy of a new entrepreneur must not be an obstacle to starting a business. We promote the clarification of regulation and the coordination of services so that entrepreneurs can focus on the essential: building a functioning business.
This is how we influence
- We produce initiatives and position statements at the national and local level.
- We participate in the preparation of legislation and stakeholder discussions.
- We promote the results, impact and customer experiences of business advisory services.
- We build cooperation with municipalities, the state, the business sector and educational institutions.
