Which Finnish Business Structure Is Right for You?

Finland offers several legal entity types. We advise on the most suitable structure based on your ownership, liability, tax, and operational requirements.

Osakeyhtiö (Oy)
Limited Company
Most Recommended

Most common for small to large businesses. Separate legal entity, limited liability. Suitable for investors, multi-partner setups, and companies seeking external funding.

Avoin yhtiö (Ay)
General Partnership
Small Partnerships

For 2+ partners without limited liability. Suitable for professional practices and small service businesses where partners are known and trusted.

Sivuliike
Branch Office
Market Testing

For foreign companies testing the Finnish market without full incorporation. Not a separate legal entity — the parent company remains liable.

Toiminimi
Sole Trader
Solo Operators

Simplest structure for individual service providers and consultants. No separation between business and personal assets.
