Quick — mostly identity and bank details.
This is de minimis aid. It counts against the €300,000 ceiling that applies to your company across a rolling three years in this member state (Commission Regulation (EU) 2023/2831). If a new award would take you over, Article 3(7) disqualifies that award in full rather than reducing it — so check your headroom before you apply, not after. Check your headroom for Finland.
Who can apply
- Up to 9 employees
- Turnover up to 2,000,000
- micro enterprises
- Stage: seed, Series A and growth
- Locally registered entity required
Enterprises with fewer than ten employees and annual turnover or balance sheet up to EUR 2 million; each enterprise may receive the loan only once; start-ups also eligible from February 2026.
