Finland - Company Incorporation

Finland Company Incorporation.

Limited liability companies are the most common form of business and the minimum share capital required of a limited liability company is prescribed in the Companies Act as €8,000. The share capital must be paid to the company's account in full before the company can be entered in the trade register maintained by the National Board of Patents and Registration. For legal purposes, a limited liability company is established when it is entered in the trade register.

We can offer ready made companies founded and registered at the Trade Register of Finland. All our off-the-shelf firms are joint-stock companies founded with fully paid share capital. The companies have had no business activities earlier and they have neither duties nor obligations. At sale, the share capital €8,000 remains on the bank account of the company passing in a personal property of the buyer. We will prepare all documents within a few days.
