In Johkula, businesses are often built around a hobby, a season or home: sled dog tours, bike rental, fishing trips, cottages or a lakeside café. We help turn the idea into a plan and the plan into a first sale.
Start-up path
- Start-up advice (free, 90 min): we go through your idea and you get a checklist of next steps.
- Business plan and calculations: fill in our template and your advisor comments on it.
- Evening for new entrepreneurs: once a month, with an experienced local entrepreneur and time for questions.
- Registration and permits: we help with forms and tell you which permits your industry needs.
- Web shop and bookings: Johkula businesses sell with Johku and we help you get started. Once your products are online, Visit Johkula can list them on its marketplace.
- Follow-up: we call after six months and a year to ask how it is going.
