Closing down a business
You have to report the dissolution of a company and termination of business to the Finnish Trade Register. As soon as the company is deleted from the Trade Register, the protection of registered company names is no longer in force.
Suspension of business
If you suspend (interrupt) your business for an unspecified or specified period, the suspension will not be entered in the Trade Register. The Trade Register does not therefore show if the business is still in operation or not. You must however report suspension of business to the Finnish Tax Administration by using the forms for notification of changes, as the suspension will be recorded in the Finnish Business Information System.

If you decide to continue your business later on, you must without delay report it to the Finnish Tax Administration by using the forms for notification of changes.
