Enterprise Estonia is offering different support possibilities and solutions to help a starting entrepreneur kick-start their business. In supporting startingbusinesses, we consider the following objectives: more starting entrepreneurs, a better survival rate for businesses and a larger number of fast-growing companies.

The emphasis in activities geared towards starting entrepreneurs is placed on increasing awareness and encouraging the potential entrepreneurs.
Information and awareness are also at the forefront with already functioning entrepreneurs, which often possess extensive skills and knowledge in their field of activity, but lack knowledge regarding entrepreneurship.
We offer comprehensive information to starting businesses, starting with information on the web and ending with personal counselling under the mentoring programme. In addition, starting companies can apply for direct aid.
Additional information on the solutions and funding possibilities of Enterprise Estonia can be found on our Estonian webpage.
