Experiences of light entrepreneurship

"When I heard about FREE.fi, I realized that this is my thing. The more I have done business with Free, the better the customer service has gotten. You can ask anything from the customer service and you will get an answer quickly."

Antti LJ Pääkkönen

"In the beginning it was not easy, because there was so much new information, and a lot to clarify regarding taxes and insurances. I wasn't sure what information was relevant and applied to me specifically. Now that I'm FREE.fi's customer, it doesn't matter what is my background. There are a lot less things to clarify now."

Valery Ashu
