Limitations

  • Official registry data access

    Data comes from the official registry's public API under its open-data terms (https://avoindata.prh.fi/en); results carry the registry as their source.

  • Registry status interpretation

    Status uses Business ID status and dissolution endDate, not Trade Register membership. Current KONK, SELTILA and SANE situations distinguish bankruptcy, liquidation and restructuring; ended situations are ignored.

  • Sole traders without a business ID are not covered

    Does not cover sole traders (toiminimi) without a separate business ID, a coverage gap of about 10%.

    What to do instead: Search the YTJ register (ytj.fi) by the trader's personal name to find toiminimi entries without a Y-tunnus

  • Financial figures can be up to 12 months old

    Financial data from annual reports — can be up to 12 months old

    What to do instead: Check the report_date field and query PRH's financial statement database for the most recent filing

  • Name search requires the registered Finnish spelling

    PRH's name search does not fold diacritics — "Mehilainen" finds nothing while "Mehiläinen" matches. ASCII-typed names for companies with ä/ö/å in their registered name will be refused rather than resolved.

    What to do instead: Type the company name with its native spelling, or provide the Business ID directly (e.g. 0112038-9)

  • Bare brands may not match the full registered name

    Name matching is deliberately conservative — a single-word query only resolves when the registered name normalises to exactly that word ("Nokia" → Nokia Oyj works; "Nordea" is refused because the registered name is "Nordea Bank Abp"). Companies whose legal name carries descriptive words beyond the brand are refused from a bare brand query rather than guessed.

    What to do instead: Provide more of the legal name ("Nordea Bank") or the Business ID directly
