Finland Company & Beneficial Ownership Directory
Finland company register data sits with the PRH (Patentti- ja rekisterihallitus, Finnish Patent and Registration Office), whose Trade Register also holds beneficial-owner filings under the Act on Money Laundering. Unlike most PRH trade register data, it's restricted to authorities and AML-obliged entities with a demonstrated valid purpose, at a 25% threshold using a look-through test for indirect ownership above 50% through an intermediary. Companies listed on the Helsinki Stock Exchange's primary market, housing companies, foundations, and sole traders (toiminimi) are exempt from UBO filing. PRH verifies filed UBO data directly, available to foreign compliance teams as a paid English-language extract; where senior management is filed as the mandatory fallback because no natural person clears 25%, the true controlling owner still isn't visible from the register and requires tracing through parent-entity registries instead.
