Registry Overview
Finland's Patent and Registration Office (PRH) and Tax Administration jointly maintain the YTJ (Business Information System). Every Finnish business receives a Y-tunnus (Business ID). Finland has a strong tech sector (Nokia, Supercell, Rovio) and consistently ranks among the world's least corrupt countries.

How to search the PRH / YTJ
- 1
Basic Search on YTJ.fi
Enter the company name or the 8-digit Business ID (Y-tunnus) into the search field at ytj.fi. This provides the company's current legal status, registered office, and tax registrations (VAT, Prepayment register, Employer register) free of charge.
- 2
Advanced Search via Virre Digital Service
For official Trade Register extracts, articles of association, or financial statements, use the PRH Virre database. Search by Business ID to view the full document history.
- 3
Verify Beneficial Ownership
Beneficial owner (edunsaaja) details are not public in the basic search. Qualifying entities must log in to Virre and demonstrate a legitimate interest or specific authorization to access this data.
Who uses this data
Nordic KYC and AML compliance officers, Finnish procurement teams, and cross-border B2B sales professionals auditing corporate creditworthiness and tax registration status.
Access, fees & notes
Finland's transparency is high; basic registration and tax status are open to the public, but comprehensive digital extracts and financial statements generally require a small per-document fee.
Cost & access
Basic company search and tax status are free. Official extracts and financial statements usually cost €2.00–€15.00 via Virre.

Common mistakes to avoid
✗ Relying solely on the YTJ basic view for legal representation checks.
✓ Order a fresh Kaupparekisteriote (Trade Register Extract) to verify current individuals authorized to sign on behalf of the company.
✗ Confusing the VAT number with the Y-tunnus.
✓ The Finnish VAT number is simply the Y-tunnus prefixed with 'FI' and without the hyphen.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Y-tunnus?▾
Y-tunnus (Business ID) is a 7+1 digit identifier (XXXXXXX-X) assigned to every Finnish business by the PRH. It's used for all official interactions including tax, VAT, and trade register matters.
What is an Oy?▾
Oy (Osakeyhtiö) is Finland's private limited company, equivalent to a GmbH or Ltd. It requires minimum €2,500 share capital. Oyj (Julkinen osakeyhtiö) is the public company form requiring €80,000 minimum capital.
How do I search Finnish company data?▾
YTJ.fi provides free search for all Finnish businesses including company details, registration status, and basic financial information. The service is available in Finnish, Swedish, and English.
Is Finnish company financial data available?▾
Annual reports for larger Finnish companies are available through PRH. Smaller companies may not be required to file public financial statements. Tax data at the aggregate level is also publicly available in Finland.
How do I search for a company in Finland by name?▾
Type the company name into the search box above. Results come from the YTJ and show the registered name, Y-tunnus number, status and registered address. Partial names work — searching "acme" returns every registered entity whose name starts with it.
Is the Finland company register free to search?▾
Yes. Searching by company name or Y-tunnus number is free here and on the official Finland register — no account or payment is required for a basic lookup. Certified extracts and filed documents may carry a fee on the official register.
Can I search Finland companies by registration number?▾
Yes. Enter the Y-tunnus number instead of the name and the lookup resolves it directly to the matching record, which is the fastest way to confirm an identifier printed on an invoice or contract.
How do I check whether a company is registered in Finland?▾
Search the name or Y-tunnus number above. If the business is on the YTJ, the record appears with its registered name and identifier. If nothing is returned, the name as spelled is not on the register — try a partial name or the number printed on the invoice or contract before concluding the business is unregistered.
How can I tell if a Finland company is still active?▾
Each record carries the status the YTJ publishes for that entity. Registration status is a factual register field, not a judgement about the business — for ongoing certainty you can watch a record and be emailed when its registered details change.
How do I find a company's Y-tunnus number?▾
Search the company name above. Each result shows its Y-tunnus number alongside the registered name, status and address, sourced from the YTJ.
