Start-up notifications on paper: forms and instructions for filling

If you cannot file your start-up notification online, file it on paper.

Proceed as follows:

  1. Save the PDF forms on your computer before filling them in.
  2. Fill in the company-specific or organisation-specific notification form and the appendix forms. Print them and make sure that they are signed as required.
  3. Enclose the other necessary documents with your notification.
  4. If you file a notification subject to a fee, pay the fee and enclose the receipt.
  5. Before you send the forms, make sure that all the necessary documents are enclosed and that the notification is dated and signed as required.

Send your notification to: Patentti- ja rekisterihallitus (PRH) - Verohallinto, Yritystietojärjestelmä, PL 2000, 00231 HELSINKI.

You will also find the address at the top of the notification form.

Take special care of personal identity codes and home addresses

The Finnish Trade Register is a register for public use. Anyone is entitled to obtain information about the entries made in the register. This principle of open access also applies to all notifications and enclosures filed with the Finnish Trade Register.

When you send notifications, do not include any documents, such as minutes or partnership agreements, that contain personal identity codes, home addresses, or other sensitive details, such as health details.

If you file your notification using our paper forms, file the person’s identification details on a separate personal data form. Do not fill in personal identity codes or home addresses on any other notification forms.
