Business Development Services (KehPa) is an instrument supported by the ELY Centre used to promote the growth, renewal and internationalisation of SMEs.

The cost of the business consultation services produced with the Kehpa instrument is only EUR 325 /day for your company. Consultation days are typically granted for 2-5 days at a time.

Companies can use the service in diverse ways for purposes such as developing their business, products or quality management, commercialising their innovations, or more extending funding plans and preparations.

Broad expertise at your service

Determining the requirements related to health regulations, preliminary assessment and surveys and their impacts on the company’s business
Reviewing and developing a quality system and technical documentation
Determining and planning software development projects
Developing a company’s strategy (e.g. product development, territorial and regulatory strategy
Market surveys, medical reimbursement analyses and competitor analyses
Clarifying a company’s earnings model and distribution channels
Planning funding and preparing investor materials
Preparing project and business plans for obtaining further funding

Companies apply for the KehPa consultation days using the Regional Administration e-services. After an assessment by the ELY Centre, we prepare a plan for implementing the development project. After this, the ELY Centre makes a decision and the project can start. After the project has been completed, its results are reported in an electronic system.

The service can be provided remotely if this is in keeping with the nature of the service. This means that working remotely also does not prevent the completion of a project from the company’s perspective. Read more from the website of ELY Centre (only finnish or swedish).
