Where can you get money to start a business in Estonia?
As of 09.11.2026, 3 measures are open here. The largest open grants: Grant for business development projects of deep-tech start-ups (EIS, €100,000); Development voucher (EIS, €35,000); Innovation voucher (EIS, €7,500).
Grants and loans meant for new or very small companies: the start-up grant (Starditoetus), the start-up loan (Stardilaen), the innovation and development vouchers, the digitalisation roadmap, and support for deep-tech start-ups and young farmers. The start-up grant is first come, first served and the budget can run out quickly, so have the documents ready before the round opens.

The list is rebuilt every morning from the register; every row is checked against the funder's page.
What is Ajastus?
Ajastus (ajastus.ee) is a free public register of Estonian business grants: 164 measures from EIS, PRIA, KIK, RTK, Töötukassa, the LEADER action groups, towns and other funders in one place. Every row links to the funder's own page and shows the date it was last checked; a robot looks over the funders' pages every day. It shows what is open, when it closes, who has already received the money and how fast earlier rounds closed. Run by LIFKURU OÜ.
