Business incubator

Entrepreneurship is an appealing option for many professionals in the social and health care sectors. However, starting your own business can be daunting if you don't have enough information about entrepreneurship or the practicalities of the private social and health care sector.

Ombrelo’s business incubator provides information and guidance for starting a rehabilitation business and launching your operations. For entrepreneurs in Ombrelo, it offers ongoing support from the initial steps of entrepreneurship and continues to provide guidance even as your business grows.

The business incubator consists of brief training sessions and personalized consultations. There's also a wealth of practical advice available for when you encounter new situations or challenges. The goal of the trainings is to give you a comprehensive understanding of running a business. Topics include business planning, financial management, productization, and marketing. There are also industry-specific themes such as required permits, patient data management, insurance coverage, and public sector procurement procedures.

Speech therapists have the opportunity to go even deeper. At HABS kuntoutus rehabilitering oy, which operates within Ombrelo, speech therapists can become entrepreneurs while still employed. The employment contract is structured in a way that resembles entrepreneurship, but without the responsibilities of being an entrepreneur. Alongside their client work, speech therapists can participate in the business incubator at their own pace. When they feel ready, they can start their own business and smoothly transition to entrepreneurship. If they wish, they can continue as entrepreneurs within Ombrelo's familiar work community with familiar clients, or they can become entrepreneurs elsewhere in another location. Participation in the business incubator is free for those working at HABS and does not require you to start a company.

Ombrelo’s entrepreneurs form a peer support network, making it a safe space even for beginners to take their first steps in entrepreneurship.
