Public financing is primarily intended for Finnish enterprises (= those registered in Finland). The principal objects of financing are investments by small and medium-sized businesses, as well as various development, research and product development projects. Funding may take the form of a subsidy, loan or guarantee. The enterprise’s equity may be strengthened by means of capital investment, loans and guarantees.
Subsidies from the Labour Administration are aimed at providing employment for the long-term unemployed and at helping people in their first steps of establishing their own businesses.
