Foreign companies
Foreign companies working in Finland are required to adhere to Finnish legislative requirements.
Our Digital Notary is a service that speeds your entity's onboarding to legal operations, creates you a trusted digital company identity and tools to interact in real-time with our own trusted partners and eGovernment services.
Digital Notary streamlines and adds digital trust to interactions between you, your customers, tax authorities and company registries both in your home country and in Finland.
Digital Company Wallet
Establishing legal entity presence for a foreign company entering Finnish market just got way faster and easier, while bringing in strong digital trust element. If you choose to enter our Notary service, you will get an immediate, public digital company identity and proof of your foreign company status. These are things that we do already, but slower with the existing Reliable Partner service. Authorised employer representatives can use a digital company wallet to exchange and obtain more digital proofs. These can be used to prove your legal compliance when transacting with eGovernment or partner companies linked to this digital ecosystem of trusted parties - in real time and without paperwork and stamps.

- Estonia
- Sweden

All existing Vastuu Group partners and ecosystem members in Finland are offered access to the same digital trust platform.

We publish this information on a report and make it available online for all your contracting partners.
