Forming a limited company

What does the service mean?

A limited company (osakeyhtiö, Oy) is a legal person separate from its owners. Shareholders are usually liable for the company's debts only up to the capital they have invested. A limited company has a board of directors, and shareholders exercise their decision-making power at the general meeting.

A limited company is founded by signing a memorandum of association, which includes the articles of association. The company must be notified to the Trade Register (kaupparekisteri) within three months of signing the memorandum of association, and the company comes into existence on registration.

A limited company's bookkeeping, financial statements (tilinpäätös) and profit distribution are more strictly regulated than a sole trader's. That is why setting one up is worth planning carefully.

Who is the service for? Entrepreneurs and groups of shareholders whose business is growing, who carry risks or who want to keep business and personal finances separate.

Questions

Frequently asked

How much share capital is needed?

A private limited company has no minimum share capital. The right amount depends on what the business needs.

When can the company start trading?

The company comes into existence once it has been entered in the Trade Register. Actions taken before registration raise their own liability questions, which we go through with you.
