It's incredible that Finland gives you a monthly grant to become an entrepreneur. Definitely wish something like that existed in the US, even if only possible at the state level.
- sam_hosseini 7y agoIt is indeed. Makes taking the risk of going from employee with lots of protections in Finland to freelance with no protection whatsoever much less dangerous financial wise.
- hopia 7y agoIt's not automatically granted, it depends on whether your local office has any budget left, and on your business plan and such. It's a somewhat bureaucratic process.
- hedgew 7y agoIt's probably one of the better government programs, though as a programmer you'll pay the entire grant's €2500-5000 value in one month of taxes.
- vekker 7y agoIf I read it well, this grant is personal income though. If the company has to pay 2-5k in monthly taxes, that will be on its revenue. If you have no revenue yet, then I don't imagine you will have to pay that much in taxes
