Understanding Branch Offices In Finland
​
A branch office in Finland, known as “sivuliike” in Finnish, is a secondary establishment of a foreign company, operating under the parent company’s name and legal personality. It’s not a separate legal entity but an extension of the parent company in Finnish territory.
Key Characteristics
Management Independence: Operates with some autonomy while following parent company directives.
Financial Responsibility: Profits and debts directly attributed to the parent company.
No Separate Legal Personality: Acts under the name and on behalf of the parent company.
Taxation: Subject to Finnish corporate tax on profits generated in Finland.
Advantages of Branch Registration In Finland

-
Market Testing: Ideal for testing the Finnish market before full-scale entry.
