Data Sources

Finland uses three official data sources: the PRH Trade Register (with the YTJ business information system), the PRH Beneficial Owner Register, and the EU VIES system for VAT verification. Company profile data and legal representatives are AI-parsed from the official Trade Register Extract (kaupparekisteriote) PDF document, while activity codes are fetched from the YTJ open data API.

PRH VIRRE (Trade Register). The Finnish Trade Register, maintained by PRH since 1896, is the primary source for Finnish entity data. PRH operates the VIRRE information service for fetching Trade Register Extracts and Articles of Association, and for searching companies by name. The Trade Register Extract PDF is AI-parsed to produce structured company data including company name, legal form, status, registered address, share capital, activity description, and legal representatives.
PRH ESR (Beneficial Owner Register). PRH’s separate Beneficial Owner Register provides Ultimate Beneficial Owner (UBO) data. Companies are required to register their beneficial owners with PRH. The ESR API returns structured ownership and voting rights data for natural persons who hold significant control over a company.
YTJ (Yritys- ja yhteisötietojärjestelmä / Finnish Business Information System). The YTJ open data API provides structured company data including official TOL (Toimialaluokitus) activity classification codes assigned by Statistics Finland. It is used to search by id and for fetching TOL codes, from which NACE and ISIC codes are derived deterministically.

Finland’s data extraction is document-based: the system fetches the official Trade Register Extract PDF from PRH’s VIRRE service and uses AI to parse structured company data from it. This means company profile and legal representatives are extracted from the same authoritative document. Legal form, status, activity descriptions, and role classifications are all AI-parsed from the extract. Activity codes (TOL) are sourced separately from the YTJ API and mapped deterministically to NACE and ISIC. UBO data comes from the separate PRH ESR register.

Company Identifiers

Query Identifiers

Company Type	Source	Format	Example	Notes
All companies	PRH Trade Register	7 digits + hyphen + check digit, leading zeros significant	`0112038-9`	Business ID (Y-tunnus), validated with check digit algorithm. `/v2/company` also accepts the 8 digits without the hyphen.

Business ID (Y-tunnus) Format: 0112038-9 = 7 digits + hyphen + 1 check digit. The check digit is calculated using a modulo-11 algorithm. All Finnish entities registered with PRH receive a Y-tunnus, including limited companies, partnerships, sole traders, cooperatives, foundations, and associations.

Identifiers in API Response

Once you retrieve company data, the identifiers object contains all available identifiers for that entity:

Identifier Type	Format	Example	Found In
`businessId`	7 digits + hyphen + check digit	`0112038-9`	All companies
`VAT`	8 digits (FI prefix stripped)	`01120389`	VAT-registered companies
`euid`	Register-issued European identifier	`FIFPRO.0112038-9`	When available

Legal Entity Identifier (LEI)

GLEIF is the supplementary data source for this identifier. company.identifiers.lei is optional. It is returned when the Business ID (businessId) matches exactly one LEI through a GLEIF registration or validation reference. The Legal Entity Identifier has 20 uppercase alphanumeric characters, ending in two check digits. Coverage varies by entity. An absent lei does not prove that the company has no LEI. Lapsed, retired or merged LEIs may be returned; annulled LEIs are excluded.

Search Capabilities

Search Type	Pattern	Example	Match Type	Expected Results
By Business ID (Y-tunnus)	7 digits + hyphen + check digit	`1505551-4`	Exact	Exact match returned first (matchType: id); other results may follow
By VAT number	`FI` + 8 digits	`FI15055514`	Exact	Resolves to the company with that Business ID
By Name	Text string (2-200 chars)	`"Alko"`	Fuzzy	Multiple results

Search Performance: Use Business ID search for best performance and exact matching. Name searches may return multiple results and support Finnish, Swedish, and English company names.

Name and Business ID searches cover the full register, including private traders.

Active companies only

Search can return companies that are no longer active. activeOnly=true removes those whose status is known at search time; the others are kept. Business ID searches are filtered. Name searches are filtered for companies whose status is known; a company found only by the live name lookup is returned whatever its status.

Quirks & Gotchas

Quirk	Details
AI-parsed data	All company data (profile, status, legal form, legal representatives, activity description) is AI-extracted from the Trade Register Extract PDF. Field availability depends on what is present in the document.
No shareholders	PRH does not provide shareholder information through the Trade Register. Share ownership is privately held by each company. Only total share capital and share classes are registered with PRH.
UBO availability varies by entity type	UBO data comes from PRH’s ESR register, which is separate from the Trade Register. Only entities required to register beneficial owners will have data. Public limited companies (Oyj), state-owned companies, associations (ry), and foundations (sr) typically declare no beneficial owners or are not in the ESR registry. Sole entrepreneurs (Tmi) are not required to register UBOs. Private limited companies (Oy) are the most likely to have UBO data.
No employee count	PRH does not provide employee count data.
Processing time	Company profile and legal representatives are extracted from the Trade Register Extract. See the Speed section of the pricing page for current latency.
Trade Register Extract is dual-purpose	The Trade Register Extract is both the source of structured data (AI-parsed) and a downloadable document. Company profile and legal representatives come from the same document.
Bilingual data	Finland is bilingual (Finnish and Swedish). Company names, activity descriptions, and legal forms may appear in either language in the Trade Register Extract. Commercial names may include Finnish, Swedish, and English variants.
Articles of Association availability	Articles of Association are listed for every company registered in the Trade Register, including closed ones, but actual content depends on the company having filed them with PRH.
Pending registrations	A company whose Trade Register registration is still pending has a Business ID and is searchable, but lists no documents and returns no legal representatives. Its `company` profile comes back with `active: false` and status `INACTIVE_NOT_CLOSED`.
Legal form AI-enriched	The local Finnish legal form name and its English translation are the labels PRH publishes. Only the standardized category and the ISO 20275 code are AI-enriched.
Activity codes deterministic	TOL codes are fetched from the YTJ API. NACE and ISIC codes are derived deterministically (TOL first 4 digits = NACE, then formal ISIC mapping). All activity codes have `isAIInferred: false`. Falls back to AI inference if the YTJ API does not return a TOL code.
VAT number format	The VAT number in the identifiers uses the format without country prefix (e.g., `15055514`), while the `taxId` object includes verification against VIES.
Incorporation date	Some companies return both `registrationDate` (Trade Register entry) and `incorporationDate` (company formation date), which may differ.

Mappings

Company Status

Company status is AI-parsed from the Trade Register Extract document. The AI extracts the current registration status and maps it to standardized status values.

Local Status	English Translation	Standardized Status	Notes
Rekisterissa	Registered	Active	Company is currently registered and operating
Active	Active	Active	Alternative status text in English-language extracts
Lakkautettu	Dissolved	Closed	Company has been dissolved
Selvitystilassa	In Liquidation	Under Insolvency Proceeding	Liquidation proceedings in progress
Konkurssissa	In Bankruptcy	Under Insolvency Proceeding	Bankruptcy proceedings in progress
Rekisterista poistettu	Removed from Register	Closed	Company has been removed from the Trade Register
Rekisteröimätön	Unregistered	Inactive Not Closed	Business ID issued, registration still pending

Because status extraction is AI-parsed from the Trade Register Extract document, the exact local status text may vary. The AI maps Finnish or Swedish status descriptions to standardized values. The active boolean is derived from the statusDetails.status field.

Legal Forms

Finland uses a variety of legal forms defined in the Trade Register. The local name and English translation are the labels PRH publishes. The standardized category and ISO 20275 code are AI-enriched.

Key Business Forms

Finnish Name	Abbreviation	English Translation	Standardized	Notes
Osakeyhtiö	Oy	Limited company	Limited Liability Company	Most common Finnish company type
Julkinen osakeyhtiö	Oyj	Public Limited Company	Corporation	Listed or public company

Partnerships

Finnish Name	Abbreviation	English Translation	Standardized	Notes
Avoin yhtiö	Ay	General Partnership	Partnership	All partners jointly liable
Kommandiittiyhtiö	Ky	Limited Partnership	Partnership	At least one general and one limited partner

Sole Proprietorships

Finnish Name	Abbreviation	English Translation	Standardized	Notes
Yksityinen elinkeinonharjoittaja	Tmi	Sole Trader	Sole Proprietorship	Individual business operator

Cooperatives

Finnish Name	Abbreviation	English Translation	Standardized	Notes
Osuuskunta	Osk	Cooperative	Cooperative	Member-owned cooperative

Non-Profits & Foundations

Finnish Name	English Translation	Standardized	Notes
Yhdistys	Association	Nonprofit Organization	Registered association
Säätiö	Foundation	Nonprofit Organization	Registered foundation

Branch Offices & European Forms

Finnish Name	English Translation	Standardized	Notes
Sivuliike	Branch	Branch or Representative Office	Branch of a foreign company
Eurooppayhtiö (SE)	European Company (SE)	Corporation	Societas Europaea
Eurooppaosuuskunta (SCE)	European Cooperative (SCE)	Cooperative	Societas Cooperativa Europaea

Because legal form standardization and ISO 20275 assignment are AI-enriched, exact mappings may evolve. The local Finnish legal form name and its English translation are always PRH’s own published labels.

Legal Representatives

Legal representatives are AI-parsed from the Trade Register Extract document. The AI extracts persons from sections such as “Hallitus” (Board), “Toimitusjohtaja” (CEO), and “Edustaminen” (Representation rules), and uses the recorded representation rules to identify legal representatives. Known Finnish and Swedish office titles have fixed English translations and standardized meanings; unfamiliar titles may require enrichment. Finland currently returns no other-key-person list.

Board & Executive Roles

Finnish Role	English Translation	Standardized Role	Classification
Hallituksen puheenjohtaja / Puheenjohtaja	Chairman of the Board	Chairman of the Board	Legal Representative
Jäsen (under Hallitus)	Board Member	Board Member	Legal Representative
Toimitusjohtaja	Chief Executive Officer	Chief Executive Officer	Legal Representative
Varatoimitusjohtaja / Toimitusjohtajan sijainen	Deputy / Substitute CEO	Chief Executive Officer	Legal Representative when acting with recorded authority

Signatory & Procuration Roles

Finnish Role	English Translation	Standardized Role	Classification
Nimenkirjoittaja / Nimenkirjoitusoikeus	Authorized Signatory	Authorized Signatory	Legal Representative
Prokuristi / Prokura	Procuration Holder	Authorized Signatory	Legal Representative

Roles Excluded from Legal Representatives

Finnish Role	English Translation	Notes
Tilintarkastaja	Auditor	Excluded from legal representative extraction
Varajäsen	Deputy Board Member	Excluded unless representation text explicitly grants rights

A board’s statutory power to represent the company is a power of the board as a body. An individual board member or chair is included only when the extract grants that person or role category individual or joint representation rights. The CEO’s statutory authority is limited to the CEO’s duties. Procuration also has a statutory scope. A title alone does not establish unrestricted sole signing authority. Named signatories with joint rights are included, with the recorded restrictions preserved.

Representation Mode

Legal representatives include a representationMode field extracted from the “Edustaminen” (Representation) section of the Trade Register Extract:

{ mode: "sole" }: Can sign alone (“yksin”)
{ mode: "joint", minimumSignatories: 2 }: Must sign jointly with one other (“kaksi yhdessä” / “two jointly”)
{ mode: "joint", minimumSignatories: 3 }: Must sign jointly with two others (“kolme yhdessä” / “three jointly”)
null: No signing authority explicitly stated

The field is extracted via AI parsing from Finnish-language text in the Trade Register Extract PDF.

Enrichment from Trade Register Extract

The AI parser also extracts:

Start dates: From person-level “Rekisteröity DD.MM.YYYY” dates or section-level registration dates
Nationality: From “Voimassa olevat henkilötiedot” section (e.g., “Suomen kansalainen” = FI)
Residence: City and country from personal details section

Other Key Persons

Finland currently has no other-key-person output. Auditors (“Tilintarkastajat”) are excluded from legal representatives. Board members and deputies without recorded representation powers are also excluded; a deputy with explicit representation rights may appear as a legal representative.

Shareholders

The Finnish Trade Register (PRH) does not provide structured shareholder data. Individual shareholder information is not available through the PRH VIRRE API or the Trade Register Extract. Shareholder details may appear within the Articles of Association document if the company’s bylaws reference specific shareholders or share classes, but this is not extracted as structured data.

Finland’s Trade Register does not maintain a shareholder register. Share ownership information is held privately by each company. Only the total share capital and share classes are registered with PRH.

Activity Code Mapping

The official TOL (Toimialaluokitus) code is fetched from the YTJ open data API. NACE and ISIC codes are then derived deterministically — no AI inference is involved when TOL is available.

TOL (from YTJ API) → NACE Rev. 2.1 (deterministic) → ISIC Rev. 5 (formal mapping)

The derivation is straightforward: TOL codes at 4 digits are identical to NACE Rev. 2 class codes (5-digit TOL codes are truncated to 4 digits, as the 5th digit is a Finnish sub-class). ISIC is then derived from NACE using the official UN correspondence table.

Classification	Source	Example	AI Inferred?
TOL	YTJ API (official, assigned by Statistics Finland)	`47250`	No
NACE	Derived from TOL (first 4 digits → XX.YY)	`47.25`	No
ISIC	Derived from NACE (formal UN mapping)	`4722`	No

One code in, one code out. You get one NACE and one ISIC code per declared TOL code. Where a TOL code has no single equivalent in the target revision, the shared parent class is returned rather than every candidate — see One code in, one code out. Main activity. YTJ publishes only the company’s main line of business (päätoimiala), so the TOL code carries isMainActivity: true, and the NACE and ISIC codes derived from it inherit the flag.

Deterministic mapping: When the YTJ API returns a TOL code, all activity codes (TOL, NACE, ISIC) have isAIInferred: false. If the YTJ API does not return a TOL code for a given company, the system falls back to AI inference from the Finnish activity description text (in which case isAIInferred will be true).

Why UBOs are not always available: Finnish law requires a natural person to hold >25% of shares or voting rights (or exercise other significant control) to be registered as a UBO. Public companies (Oyj) have dispersed ownership below this threshold. State-owned companies have no natural person owner. Associations, foundations, and cooperatives have no “owners” in the legal sense. Sole entrepreneurs (Tmi) are not separate legal entities from their owner, so UBO registration does not apply.

Documents by Company Type

All Finnish company types registered in the Trade Register have the same documents available:

Document Type	API Category	Format	Notes
Trade Register Extract	`tradeRegisterExtract`	PDF	Official kaupparekisteriote from PRH. Comes with the company data block. Also used as source for AI-parsed company data.
Articles of Association	`articlesOfAssociation`	PDF	Company bylaws (yhtiöjärjestys), share classes, governance rules. Ordered separately; see the pricing page.

Trade Register Extract Language: The Trade Register Extract is provided in Finnish (or Swedish for Swedish-registered companies). There is no English translation available from PRH. The AI parser handles Finnish/Swedish text extraction.

Both documents are listed for every company registered in the Trade Register, including closed ones. Actual content depends on PRH having the document on file. A company whose registration is still pending lists no documents.

Note: UBO data comes from PRH’s ESR register (separate from Trade Register). Control types include ownership-of-shares, voting-rights, and significant-influence-or-control. The residenceAddress.city is resolved from the Finnish municipality code (kuntanumero). Companies that declare no beneficial owners return an empty array. Public companies (Oyj), state-owned entities, associations, and foundations typically have no UBO data.
