Short-Term Projects in Finland: What Foreign Companies Need to Know

By Timo Vahtera on 2 September 2025

Short-term does not mean simple.

Finland is a popular destination for short-term business activities such as installations, construction projects, technical services or consulting assignments. For many European companies, these projects are part of a broader international operation rather than a full market entry.

However, short-term projects in Finland are still subject to local legal and administrative requirements. Underestimating these obligations is one of the most common mistakes foreign companies make.

Working with Finnish Authorities: Common Mistakes Foreign Companies Make

By Timo Vahtera on 9 August 2025

Świetny temat — bardzo edukacyjny, a jednocześnie „odczarowujący” Finlandię bez straszenia. Poniżej masz kompletny artykuł w Markdown (Hugo-ready), spójny z poprzednimi wpisami.

Business ID (Y-tunnus), suomi.fi and Banking: Where Most Companies Get Stuck

By ABC Consulting on 8 August 2025

For many foreign companies, entering the Finnish market looks straightforward on paper. In practice, most delays and frustrations happen around three tightly connected elements:

  • Business ID (Y-tunnus)

  • Access Suomi.fi services
  • Open a Finnish bank account
  • Sign many local contracts

Foreign companies are often surprised that obtaining a Y-tunnus may take longer than expected, especially if documentation is incomplete or unclear.

From Project to Permanent Presence: How Companies Expand in Finland

By Timo Vahtera on 7 August 2025

Many foreign companies enter Finland through a single project: an installation, a service contract, a pilot program or a limited-time assignment.

What often starts as a short-term engagement can quickly turn into something more permanent. Finland’s stable business environment, skilled workforce and predictable regulations encourage companies to stay — and grow.

This article explains how companies typically move from a project-based presence to a permanent operation in Finland, and what to consider at each stage.
