REAL ESTATE Company Register: Finland
Approximately 175,040 real businesses classified under Real Estate Activities in Finland, with officer, shareholder and beneficial ownership records sourced directly from official government registries.
Approximately 175,040 real businesses operate in the Real Estate Activities sector across Finland. Property is the asset class most commonly used to obscure ownership — and the one with the strongest global push toward transparency because of it. Real estate covers buying, selling, renting, developing, and managing property, whether for a firm's own account or on behalf of clients, and single-asset special-purpose vehicles sitting inside layered offshore holding chains are a structural pattern here, not an anomaly. That history is exactly why beneficial-ownership registers worldwide treat property ownership as a priority category, not a footnote.
1 company in this sector is indexed on Zavia so far, part of a continually growing dataset.
Beneficial-ownership and registration rules for Real Estate Activities companies in Finland follow the same national framework as every other sector there.

Analysis
What this data actually tells you
Real estate intermediation in Finland is a genuinely licensed profession, like the other Nordic countries and in contrast to EU peers such as Poland that have fully deregulated it: real estate agents need an LKV (laillistettu kiinteistönvälittäjä) licence from the regional AVI (Regional State Administrative Agency), and real estate agencies themselves must separately register with the AVI too — a genuinely decisive verification step, not a supplementary one.
For the underlying property record, Finland’s land and mortgage register (lainhuuto- ja kiinnitysrekisteri), maintained by Maanmittauslaitos (the National Land Survey of Finland), is the authoritative source on ownership, mortgages and other encumbrances attached to a specific property — a verification source independent of, and more reliable than, anything the intermediary itself provides.

Who uses Finland real estate activities ownership data
The three checks this sector's data is most often run for.
AVI LKV mandatory licensing
Like the other Nordic countries, Finland requires real estate agents to hold an LKV (laillistettu kiinteistönvälittäjä) licence from the regional AVI — a genuinely decisive check, not a supplementary one.
Real estate agency registration
Real estate agencies themselves, not just individual agents, must also register with the AVI — a distinct check from any individual agent’s own LKV licence.
Land registry cross-check
Finland’s land and mortgage register (lainhuuto- ja kiinnitysrekisteri), maintained by Maanmittauslaitos (the National Land Survey), is the authoritative source on property ownership and encumbrances — the real verification source for a transaction, independent of the intermediary.
