Login and instructions

After creating an account, you may begin filing a new application. The person that creates the application is automatically made the administrator of the application and the project. The administrator will have rights to manage user access. Add contact persons, responsibilities, and other persons you want to have access to review and edit the application to the project.

If you need access to an existing project and you are not the main user or administrator, ask them to grant you access. A Business Finland advisor may also grant you access at the request of the responsible supervisor. Use this form to file such a request. Project access must be added to the same email address that you used to register your account.

Create an account

Make sure that your information in the service is up to date. You can change your phone number and the email address that is used as your username to the Business Finland online service. If you need access to a new project, contact the administrator to grant access to the email address that is your username.

Project administrator

The project administrator may grant and revoke access to project information. The online service grants administrator access automatically to the first person to open and save an application.

Add users to a project after submitting your application

• Log in to access management. You will be given a list of items where you are an administrator.
• Select the organization and project.
• Navigate to the 'Roles' tab and select the role, i.e., 'User'.
• Select 'Add users to role' from the drop-down menu.
• Enter the user's information and click on 'Information ok'. Project access must be added to the same email address that the user registered their account with.
• Registered users are then given access to the project automatically. If an invited user has not created an account in the online service, the role invitation sends an email to the user, asking them to create an account through the provided link, after which they are automatically given access. The invitation link is valid for two days.

Removing a user from a project

First select your project and then 'Users'.

All information related to the project is processed confidentially. However, after the funding application has been submitted, the name of the applicant, amount of the funding you applied for and document number of the application are public information. If an application is refused, the name of the applicant and the amount of funding they applied for is public information. Read more about the service’s Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.

If you want to cancel your application, please do so on the Application summary and submission page. Cancellation of an application terminates its processing. A cancellation of an application may only be submitted by the administrator of application, accountable project leader, contact person or a person authorised to sign for the company.

The decision takes effect after you have approved the decision and the related funding terms and conditions. Approve the funding decision within the time period mentioned in the decision.

You will see a note that there’s a decision waiting for approval on the service’s homepage under “Issues awaiting action”. If there are specific prerequisites that need to be fulfilled before the decision takes effect, the decision can be approved only once these prerequisites have been fulfilled.

If you are not going to accept the funding, please inform Business Finland’s registry.
