Notification of changes for general partnerships or limited partnerships to the Finnish Trade Register
Whenever your company's details change, you must inform the Trade Register about it by filing a notification of the changes.
We recommend that you check your current Trade Register details in our Virre Information ServiceAvautuu uuteen välilehteen before you file a notification of changes, in order to see what changes and additions you have to make. It is also useful to check the contents of your registered partnership agreement.
