- What kinds of funding instruments are available and how to apply for funding?
- Where to get funding for your company’s growth and internationalization?
- How to approach different financiers?
Helpdesk service is available to companies in the Tampere region area that aim for growth and internationalization. An individual company with a business ID can receive free advice for max. 2 hours.

There are many sources of funding for a company, so it is not easy to get an overall picture. In the application for funding for example these matters are highlighted: the stage, sector, readiness of the company, the priorities of the financiers, and the alignment and availability of public instruments. These allow us to find answers to questions related to planning or applying for financing for your company, as well as to find suitable financiers.
Business Tampere’s funding clinic as an extension of the help desk
In addition to the funding help desk service, a start-up or growth company operating in the Tampere region can make use of Business Tampere’s free-of-charge funding clinic service. You can book the first funding clinic appointment (1 h), during which the company’s situation will be mapped and suitable follow-up measures proposed.

Information is processed in accordance with the Business Tampere helpdesk privacy statement and the Business Tampere privacy statement. By using the Helpdesk service, the customer accepts both privacy statements.
Helpdesk mainly covers short-term advisory work related to financing issues max. 2 hours per company with business ID. At the moment, counselling also exceptionally covers funding advice which is needed due to COVID-19. A separate discussion appointment may be booked to answer a wider question or one needing more background information. If necessary, a follow-up discussion appointment will be agreed to ensure that the matter is resolved.
If the question cannot be answered immediately, the aim is to complete the service request within a few working days. Due to the hour quota allocated for the help desk service, the availability of the service may need to be restricted.
The helpdesk can help with individual funding-related documents, but it is not a consultancy service that produces funding applications, investor presentations or similar expert work performances. Nor does the service include legal advice, for example in relation to the terms and conditions of investment contracts.
Funding-related questions are company-specific in nature. Questions are handled confidentially, but the use of the service (look Business Tampere helpdesk privacy statement) is recorded for general service reporting.
Messages and conversations between the service provider and the company using the service may be recorded in the communication services used. The service provider deletes chat conversations and e-mails sent by the client upon request.
The client is solely responsible for decisions concerning their company and the consequences thereof. Business Tampere and the service providers (Maisala.net Oy, Fimentum Oy ja Spinverse Oy) do not guarantee that the information, advice and service offered by the service providers are faultless and correct.
