Firmengründung in Finnland

Wichtig: Das Recht eines Nichtansässigen, Eigentümer des Unternehmens zu sein, berechtigt nicht automatisch dazu, in diesem Land zu leben, zu arbeiten oder das Unternehmen von dort aus zu führen. Einwanderungsstatus, Arbeitserlaubnis, wirtschaftliche Substanz, Ort der tatsächlichen Geschäftsleitung und Steueransässigkeit werden gesondert geprüft.

• —At least one ordinary board member and, separately, one deputy member must reside in the EEA, unless PRH grants a permit.
• —A managing director residing outside the EEA requires PRH permission; residence, not citizenship, is decisive.

• —A passport or other acceptable ID for every founder, director, signatory and ultimate beneficial owner (UBO).
• —Current proof of residential address and tax residence for every person subject to verification.

3. 03File through the appropriate online PRH/YTJ route and submit any permit/foreign-person attachments.

• —Foreign effective management, permanent establishment and related-party dealings require separate analysis.

Allgemeiner Überblick, keine individuelle Steuer- oder Rechtsberatung. Die Vorschriften werden vor der Einreichung erneut geprüft.

• —Zero statutory capital does not remove operating-funding, solvency or bank KYB requirements.
• —A bank/EMI independently reviews Finnish nexus, board/representative roles, UBOs, contracts and source of funds.

• —Annual financial statements are filed with PRH in the applicable format, with an audit where thresholds require it.
• —Corporate tax, VAT/payroll filings and compliant accounting records.
• —Current beneficial-owner and Trade Register details; official address/representative and governance are maintained.

• —A zero-capital Oy must not be presented as requiring no genuine funding or solvency planning.
• —Board, deputy and managing-director residence tests are separate; satisfying one role does not cure another.
• —Incorporation does not disapply UBO disclosure, AML/KYC or sanctions screening by the registrar, notary, provider, tax authority or financial institution.
• —The place of incorporation does not automatically determine tax residence: effective management, permanent establishment, CFC rules and the owners' personal residence require separate analysis.
• —Registration does not grant a licence, residence or work rights and does not guarantee a bank or EMI account.
