There are 2 standard approaches to company formation in Finland: to incorporate a new company or to purchase a newly established shelf company remotely. We offer both options, without travel. We will map the best option specific to your objectives.
It is more time and cost efficient to opt for the new shelf company, because there is no need for an onsite visit to Finland, or to transfer the share capital payment and be part of a lengthy process, we have already taken care of all the legal documentation.
Our new Finnish shelf companies have no legacy risk as they have been recently incorporated by our legal department and are officially marked as “not active” in the Finnish Commercial Registry, which provides a 100% government guarantee that the new owner will start from a clean sheet!
