6) Around 3 weeks...

I had a lot of research to do, but I managed to finish it in November...

I want to thank Tuomas, Tapani, Sören, Ulla, Staffan, Dolinna, Freda, Grace, Andy, Rita, Carlos and my parents who gave me some advice, ideas and support for the whole research process.

I sent my project on week 49 to Finnvera, the local capital risk bank. According to their web page an "answer" would arrive in about 3 weeks time. I could have sent it at least one week earlier, but Finnvera's web page has its own financial format sheet, to be filled out, so I had to recalculate many of my estimates in order to make it fit in the accounts the national company's analysis committee provides to everybody applying for a business loan.

Plus I made appointments in 3 different Banks:

1) Nordea with Jyrki Laaksonen: Friday 18th December 10.00 am

2) Liedon Säästöpankki with Carita Heikkilä: Friday 18th of December 13.30

3) Ålandsbanken with Terhi Iso-Ilomäki: Monday 21st 13.30

I wanted to make an appointment with Osuuspankki, but the woman at the information desk told me that I must have an account in Osuuspankki for at least 1 year before any attempt in obtaining a "business loan".

Enough... time for a sauna :)
