Who files the notification?
The notification is signed by a person responsible for the company who is recorded in the Finnish Trade Register. Procuration rights are not enough to sign a notification to the Finnish Trade Register. Read more at ytj.fi about how to sign notifications using the online filing service at ytj.fi.

What does it cost?
Filing financial statements is free of charge if you use the online service at ytj.fi. The online service is available in Finnish and Swedish. If you file the financial statements on paper, the handling fee is 100 euros. The PRH will send you an invoice. Do not pay the handling fee in advance.
How to file
File your notification online using our service at ytj.fi. The online service is available in Finnish and in Swedish. To use the service, you need a Finnish personal identity code and either personal internet banking codes, a mobile certificate, or an electronic identity card (HST card).
The service will help you fill in the notification. Fill in the required details and enclose the documents needed.
Please note that the details and documents you submit, as well as the notification document created by the service, will be publicly available for anyone. Do not include any details that contain personal identity codes, home addresses, or other confidential details (such as health details or business secrets).
