What is a ready-made Finnish company?
A ready-made Finnish company is a limited company (osakeyhtiö, Oy) that has already been incorporated and registered. You buy its shares instead of creating a new legal entity from the beginning.
The company retains its Business ID and incorporation date. Its name, management and other registered details can be updated through the agreed decisions and filings. The company may be newly incorporated and unused, or it may be an aged company with an earlier incorporation date.
- Finnish limited company (Oy)
- Existing Business ID (Y-tunnus)
- Ownership through a share purchase

Tell us what you plan to do, when you want to start and which company features matter to you. We recommend suitable options and provide company-specific information directly to you.
New Finnish limited company
A newly incorporated, unused company can provide a straightforward starting point when you do not need an earlier incorporation year or previous business history.
- Already incorporated and registered
- No previous trading activity
- Company name and management can be updated
Aged Finnish limited company
An aged company has an earlier incorporation date. Its previous activities, registrations, banking arrangements and any credit rating are reviewed and described individually.
- Earlier incorporation date
- Background and current status reviewed
- Features confirmed for the selected company
Company age alone does not guarantee a bank account, credit rating, financing or eligibility for a particular contract.

Ownership transfers once the purchase documents are signed, payment is completed and the purchase agreement’s other conditions are met.
Registrations
The company already has a Business ID. Changes to its details and any tax registrations may require separate processing.
Banking
Some companies may have an existing banking relationship. The bank makes its own decisions on customer checks, continued services and account access.
