Information and services for cultural entrepreneurs
Different forms of entrepreneurship are common in the fields of art and culture. TAKU knows not only entrepreneurship but also the special issues of the industry.
Entrepreneurs and the self-employed receive the same membership benefits as wage earners. In addition, there are dedicated services for entrepreneurs, such as mentoring and job guidance. Only membership of the unemployment fund must be managed separately, for example through Entrepreneur Fund (Yrittäjäkassa).
