Company Formation Finland
Introduction to Finland Incorporation
Finland's economic stability and high-tech industrial base has made it a key target for international investors considering company formation Finland. Anyone can set up business in Finland, irrespective of nationality, so long as one of the company's founding members is resident in the European Economic Area. If the founder is a legal person, its domicile should be in an EEA country (the EEA compromises all the EU countries plus Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland).
