Starting and running a business
What funding can businesses in Vadsø apply for?
Last updated: 8 October 2026
Short answer
There are schemes in Vadsø (the municipal business fund), in Finnmark (including Innovation Norway’s development grant and the county council’s funds) and nationally (including start-up grants, SkatteFUNN and wage subsidies from NAV). You apply directly to whoever runs the scheme. See Funding.

SpareBank 1 Nord-Norge’s Samfunnsløftet and Sparebankstiftelsen do not give money to businesses or commercial projects, but a joint project run by an association may qualify.
