Services for a budding entrepreneur

Are you planning to start a business? The city of Ikaalinen offers free advice for aspiring entrepreneurs in cooperation with Ensimetri. We will help you evaluate your business idea, answer questions related to starting a business, and take the first steps of entrepreneurship.

1. Contact us

The service process begins by contacting business advice.

During the first contact, we will briefly discuss your business idea and business plans. At the same time, we will arrange a time for actual business advice.

2. Fill out the Starting Entrepreneur form

Before the meeting, we ask you to fill out the Starting Entrepreneur form. The form helps us get to know your business idea in advance so that we can spend more time during the meeting on the things that are important to you.

If you have already started writing a business plan or made other business-related plans, feel free to bring them to the meeting.
