If you need help with pricing and achieving a better result, who do you turn to? If you have a new business idea or an innovation you would like to start working on, who will find potential sources of funding for you? 

– We have made this easy for entrepreneurs and enterprises. All you need is one e-mail or phone call to Keuke to get things rolling. We have 12 in-house experts who spar with and help you, and we are also surrounded by a wide network of growth partners, says Keuke CEO Elina Pekkarinen. 

Owned by seven municipalities, Keski-Uudenmaan Kehittämiskeskus Oy (Keuke) is a business development company that works to enable the growth and vitality of local businesses.  Keuke serves businesses located in Järvenpää, Karkkila, Kerava, Nurmijärvi, Pornainen, Sipoo and Tuusula. 

– Our customers can often give us a detailed list of issues they need advice with. For example, they may need effective practices and tools for sales and marketing. Sometimes customers are simply looking to achieve a better business result, but they do not know what to do or where to start.

Making development more concrete

When a customer approaches Keuke, cooperation usually starts with a business evaluation. This reveals the concrete development needs of the business. 

– Achieving a better result is a sum of many parts. It is affected by marketing, sales, customer insight, pricing, specialization, inventory management, customer service, accessibility, the competitive conditions and all the business processes. The business evaluation allows us to pinpoint the things that are clearly in need of improvement, says Elina Pekkarinen. 

– Development as a concept is quite vague, and entrepreneurs often struggle to see all the things that Keuke can help them with. According to the customer feedback we have received, simply hearing the perspective of an external expert helps entrepreneurs realize what needs to be developed in their business. 

Keuke's basic consulting services are free for entrepreneurs. 

– Here's a tip that is worth keeping in mind. Whatever the issue or question you have about your business, you can always call us or send us an e-mail. If we cannot help you or we know that someone else knows more about the issue, we will refer you to a specialist in our network. But we will take care of things!
