Build a growth-oriented start-up in Finland
Finland offers a residence permit for start-up entrepreneurs. Applicants generally need a positive Eligibility Statement from Business Finland before applying for the residence permit.
How we approach Finland Start-Up Entrepreneur
Most applications are lost long before submission — in the strategy, the timing and the evidence. We start by understanding your situation in full, then decide whether Finland Start-Up Entrepreneur is genuinely the strongest route for you, or whether another European pathway fits better.
From there the work is practical: confirming eligibility, building the file, preparing you for what officers will question, and keeping the strategy consistent from first assessment to final decision. You always know where your file stands and what happens next.
Because our team also works in business consulting, entrepreneurs and professionals get advice that considers the commercial and career side of the move, not only the immigration forms.
