The Central Uusimaa employment area has resumed granting start-up grants
The Employment and Economic Development Office suspended the granting of discretionary financial assistance in April when the funds allocated for 2025 ran out. Now, all customers of the Central Uusimaa Employment and Economic Development Office can once again apply for start-up funding.
Any positive decisions on discretionary grants will only apply to start-up funding. Due to the budgetary situation in the employment area, the area will not grant any other subsidies, such as wage subsidies, discretionary expense allowances or working condition adjustment subsidies, for the time being.
All customers of the Central Uusimaa TE Services can apply for start-up funding from 12 August 2025 onwards. The employment area will notify those customers who received negative decisions on start-up funding between March and July due to budgetary reasons of the change in the situation. Decisions will not be made retroactively, but previous applicants may submit a new application to the employment area.
There was a break of a few months in the granting of subsidies.
The funds allocated for discretionary subsidies in the Central Uusimaa employment area for 2025 ran out in spring 2025. The reasons for the funds running out included the costs and service debt transferred from the state to the employment areas in 2024 and the additional contribution allocated to the employment area.
The Employment Area suspended the granting of discretionary financial assistance on 15 April 2025 by decision of the Executive Board.
