Suomi.fi's new guide is a financial information package for entrepreneurs
Suomi.fi has published a new guide on a company’s financial difficulties and how to prevent them. The guide provides entrepreneurs with concrete instructions on assessing the financial situation of a company, coping with payment difficulties or the controlled termination of business operations.
Even a successful company may face setbacks which result in the deterioration of its financial situation. When the entrepreneur responds quickly, the company has more solutions available. "You should ask for help as soon as you sense the first suspicions or signs of danger," says Jari Leskinen, Development Manager of the Financial counselling for entrepreneurs service. “However, it is never too late.”
