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?▾
Use the available lookup or the linked official YTJ service. Start with the legal name, then compare the exact Y-tunnus number and available identity fields. Name matches are candidates; source coverage and partial-name support vary.
Is the Finland company register free to search?▾
Basic company lookup is free on LemReveal. The official Finland register has independent access rules and may require an account or charge for searches, extracts or particular documents. Check the source's current terms.
Can I search Finland companies by registration number?▾
Where the source supports it, use the exact Y-tunnus number together with its register or jurisdiction. Preserve prefixes and leading zeros and compare the returned legal name. A number alone does not guarantee coverage or a successful lookup.
How do I check whether a company is registered in Finland?▾
Search the exact Y-tunnus number or legal name above, then confirm the entity's identifier and source. An empty result can reflect coverage limits, a source outage, spelling or a different jurisdiction; it does not prove the business is unregistered. A fuzzy candidate is not a confirmed identity.
How can I tell if a Finland company is still active?▾
Read the status and effective date where the YTJ supplies them. Active registration does not establish trading or financial health. Monitoring is available only for supported sources and confirmed records; verify the actual watch state.
How do I find a company's Y-tunnus number?▾
Identify the legal entity using the available lookup or official YTJ route. Record the Y-tunnus only where supplied, with its source and jurisdiction. Do not infer missing identifiers from a similar name.
