Questions and answers

Q: How much does the service cost?

A: Our pricing is transparent, and it is based on a success reward and a fixed basic price from our offer. However, third-party reports are sometimes needed, such as market surveys or legal services, and money should be reserved for these.

Q: Can you guarantee the success of financing?

A: Financing decisions are always made independently by financiers. Fundraising service increases the probability of obtaining financing, and we guarantee an increase in the probability of success to all our customers.

Q: Why would we use your services? We know what to do ourselves, and financier is already interested in us.

A: A single interested financer is a good start, but still a long way from arranging financing under favorable terms and conditions. As we expand the number of financiers (i.e., increase the demand), with us you will get more funding, under better terms and conditions, faster and with less time used by the entrepreneur.

Q: Is the fundraising a "turn-key" service?

A: Being entrepreneur-led is extremely important in fundraising. Therefore, the customer is actively involved in all fundraising phases that are strategically significant. Fundraising is not easy, and therefore sufficient time should be reserved for it.

Q: Is it possible to obtain subsidies for fundraising service?

A: In some cases–with certain Tekes instruments, for example–subvention might be suitable for covering the costs of the fundraising service. Technopolis will also be happy to help in matters related to applying for subvention.

Q: At this stage, I only need public backing from Tekes? Can you help me?

A: We are also able to compose an application to public financers on behalf of the customer, such as to Tekes or the Center for Economic Development, Transport and the Environment instrument or, for example, a loan from Finnvera. Naturally, the customer will need to provide the basic data such as business or project plan, but we will take care of the rest. You save time and maximize your funding options.
