Fonecta Finder: company search and checking details
Fonecta Finder is a company search service. Start with the company name, narrow the results by location and industry, and use the Business ID to identify the correct company. Official basic details can be checked separately in YTJ, the joint service of PRH and the Finnish Tax Administration.
Narrowing a search
Fonecta's instructions make location and industry filters available to signed-in users. Some financial filters require a paid licence. Guidance checked on 13 November 2026.
| Starting point | Try this | Compare in the result |
|---|---|---|
| You know the company name | Name search | Name and Business ID |
| You need a particular service | Industry filter | The company's own service description |
| Results cover several cities | Location filter | Visiting address |
| You need a particular business size | Financial filter included in your licence | Financial period |
Write down the service and area you need before comparing results. This gives your search a consistent basis instead of leaving several unrelated tabs open.
Free use and licences
Finder's support page distinguishes free use, Finder Pro and the broader Yhteys and Luotto licences. It says private individuals' and decision-makers' telephone numbers are not included in free use or the ordinary Finder Pro licence.
Before ordering a paid product, select whether you are buying for a company or as a private individual. The ordering guide also asks for the product and number of licences. Describe your intended use in one sentence and compare it with the product features before confirming. Product distinctions checked on 13 November 2026.
Correcting company information
Finder's guide updated on 27 October 2026 directs basic company information management to Fonecta Connect. Financial information comes from PRH. Different information types have different correction routes.
| Information to correct | Route in the official guide |
|---|---|
| Basic details and industry | Fonecta Connect |
| Postal address displayed in Finder | Fonecta customer service |
| Adding or removing a business location | Fonecta's message portal |
| Financial information | PRH data; ask support about missing accounts |
Save the address of the relevant profile and write down the correct information beside it. That keeps the company, location and requested correction together. Routes checked on 13 November 2026.
What happened to Oma Fonecta?
Fonecta's business site says Oma Fonecta closed on 7 January 2026. Connect, Caller and Finder now have separate management interfaces. Finder licences are managed in Finder; basic company details are managed in Connect.
If an old bookmark leads to the retired service, start from Fonecta's current guidance page. Identify the task, such as correcting a profile or managing a licence, before choosing a sign-in link.
Checking official information in YTJ
YTJ's free company and organisation search includes Business IDs, legal forms and current register entries. It also provides register history. Information checked on 13 November 2026.
Compare Business IDs first when a company uses several names or locations. Record the check date if you will rely on your notes later. Register information describes a company's registration status; customer experience is assessed using other evidence.
