Company search in Virre

Search by using the Business ID, registration number, company name or some other search criteria. The search results will show company details that are free of charge, and you can buy register extracts or other items.

Search boxes

Company name: You can search for companies by the whole or part of a company name. The company name is the name registered in the Finnish Trade Register. Both current and previous company names entered in the Trade Register are included in the search.

Use the company search to search for Trade Register information about valid or dissolved companies, or companies that have notifications pending. If you do not indicate the status of the name, the search result will only show registered companies.

If you tick the box “Search by exact name only", the search will return results that exactly match your search words.
