Setting up a company and filing changes
The trade register and the Tax Administration's registers are a company's most important registers in Finland, and they have to be up to date. We make the filings digitally as part of your bookkeeping, so you do not need a separate lawyer for ordinary changes.
What we handle
- Incorporation filings to the trade register
- Registrations with the Tax Administration: VAT, prepayment and employer registers
- Change filings: address, line of business, board composition, financial year
- Amendments to the articles of association
- Increases in share capital
- Dividend and shareholder loan filings
- Deeds of sale and share transactions
- Dissolution and winding-up filings
Price
In the service packages, company law services and CFO support are €100 per quarter (excl. VAT): the same in all three packages. Without a package the work is hourly at €120 an hour (excl. VAT). The Patent and Registration Office's own processing fees are not included, as those are official charges set by the authority. The full price list is here.
Setting up a limited company
We go through the incorporation together: the articles of association, share capital, board composition, the financial year, and which of the Tax Administration's registers the company belongs in. We make the filings digitally. At the same time we agree when bookkeeping starts, so the first financial year does not begin by catching up. How we work.
When you do need a lawyer
We say this plainly because it saves everyone time: ordinary incorporations and changes we handle, but corporate restructurings, unusual provisions in the articles of association and shareholder agreements are legal work. In those we tell you straight away that you need a lawyer, rather than attempting work that is not ours.
