Business services moved to the town hall
Business Äänekoski services from the same building

For a couple of years, the business services office of the city of Äänekoski was on the second floor of Koskikeskus. Since the beginning of February, the business services unit has moved back to the town hall and now serves on the ground floor. You can make an appointment for business advice online or by calling. We always pick up customers from the lobby of the town hall and direct them to the right place.

Business counseling helps effectively - a look at last year's figures
The city of Äänekoski wants to invest in entrepreneurs, and that is why entrepreneurs are served by two business advisers. Business advisors Esa Lehmonen ja Vesa Alakärppä are at the service of entrepreneurs in all stages of the company's life cycle.
Vesa Alakärppä says that last year was busier than the previous one in the light of the statistics. In 2023, 82 new companies were established in Äänekoski, about half of which were established through Business Äänekoski's business advice. 56 companies closed their operations, so the net increase of new companies was 26, which is slightly more than last year.
As in the previous year, most companies were founded in the construction sector. The next largest industries among new companies were wholesale and retail trade, professional, scientific and technical activities, and companies offering health and social services.
