Finland offers a stable, transparent and innovation-driven business environment that makes establishing a company straightforward for both domestic and international entrepreneurs.

In Jyväskylä, new businesses benefit from an agile local ecosystem, strong expertise in technology and education, and close collaboration between companies, research institutions and the public sector.

The city provides extensive advisory services to support entrepreneurs with company registration, permits, funding opportunities and practical steps for settling in the region.

For international founders, Finland’s national services offer comprehensive guidance on how to start and grow a business, including information on residence permits for entrepreneurs, funding instruments and market entry support.

You can explore national-level resources and support services on Business Finland’s website What i need to knot when set up a business in Finland? (businessfinland.com).

When establishing a business in Finland — including setting up a subsidiary — companies are required to prepare a written business plan.

Banks and financing institutions expect a clear and transparent description of the company’s ownership structure, information about the owners, and a credible business plan supported by financial projections for the coming years.

Finland provides clear guidance for drafting a business plan, and the national Suomi.fi service explains step-by-step what should be included, from market analysis and products to financial calculations and risk assessment.

You can explore the detailed instructions using the Business Planner Wizard on Suomi.fi.

Access to Finnish electronic services becomes significantly easier when you have Finnish online banking credentials. These secure identification tools allow you to log in to national services, submit official notifications, manage permits and handle various business-related registrations digitally.

While it is possible to manage many steps without them, having Finnish online banking access speeds up processes and gives you broader access to essential e‑services.
