The search will return a list of businesses matching your search criteria. From the list, you can proceed to the basic details free of charge; further information is subject to a fee
Search Instructions:
Run a company search for businesses that are registered in the Trade Register. The company search will only return businesses with the status “in the register”. If you want to search for terminated or pending businesses, you must change the status setting. You can search for a company by its name or a part of it or Business ID. You can also limit your search by using different criteria such as place of registered office or company type.
One option is to tick the “Exact search” box, which will return search results that exactly match your search words. So, if you wish to search for the company “Optikko X Oy”, you must enter the whole name, including the company type identification Oy; otherwise, you will not find the company.
A company search will return a list of businesses meeting the search criteria. From the list, you can access companies’ basic details free of charge by clicking on the company name. For an in-depth study of an item on the list, you can buy it at once, or you can put it into your shopping cart and pay for it later. We charge a fee for each accessed company.
The search may return matches that do not include your search word(s). This may be because the business displayed on the list has previously had a name pending that resembles your search word(s). For more information on businesses names, go to: company search ? company names.
You have free access to basic details, but there are charges for viewing other information. In addition to up-to-date information, you can view previous register entries by clicking on the “History” link. The history details go back as far as the day when the company was first registered on the Trade Register system.
Information content:
The “Basic details” page includes the most important information about the business such as the address, company name including its history, registration date and company type.
The “Company names” page includes information about the business’s current and former company names. The information consists of the company names, parallel company names and auxiliary company names, as entered in our register.
The “Lines of business” page contains information about the lines of business of companies and possible auxiliary company names. The information is in the language in which it was registered (Finnish or Swedish).
The “Capital details” page discloses the amount of the company’s capital and any changes in it. For example, for limited liability companies, you can view their share capital, and for co-operatives, their share price.
The “Assignments and company positions” page contains information about the persons representing the company. Most frequently, the information consists of the composition of the Board of Directors, Managing Director, those authorised to represent the business, and holders of a procuration. Here you will also learn who is authorised to sign for the company. However, no information about shareholders is available from the Trade Register.
On the “Financial periods” page you can check companies’ financial periods and the dates when financial statements have been submitted (but not actual financial statements).
In “All register entries” page you can create an electronic Trade Register extract for a given date.
The “Notifications from the company” page gives you a list of the company’s Trade Register notifications. If you need more detailed information, use the “Notification search”.
The “Microfilm addresses” page gives you a list of the Trade Register entries that are also recorded on microfilm.
