All you need to set up your own business!

Are you planning to become self-employed or set up your own business? We have created a convenient way of setting up a private trader company (toiminimi in Finnish) in cooperation with Varma and UKKO Pro.

Set up your own business

An easy way to set up as a private trader

Setting up a private trader company and registering it in the Trade Register is free of charge through Nordea until 31 January 2021.

When taking your first steps as an entrepreneur, many things can seem overly complicated. You must handle invoicing, bookkeeping, VAT declarations, tax payments, pension insurance and lots of other things. Sounds hard? No reason to worry. We will help you set up your business quickly and effortlessly without having to fill in dozens of forms. 

Nordea will provide the benefit provided that your company is accepted as a Nordea customer after you have established it and that you sign up for the Nordea Accounting Plus service. Together with our partners Varma and UKKO Pro, we have created a hassle-free “turnkey solution” for setting up your private trader company and receiving the services you need for running your business. 

All you need to set up your own business

  1. Registering your private trader company in the Trade Register free of charge**
  2. Nordea Accounting Plus – invoicing and bookkeeping for private traders (87,60€/month, incl. VAT)
  3. Banking services

Registering your private trader company in the Trade Register

Now free of charge for Nordea’s new corporate customers until 31 January 2021 (benefit of EUR 115).

Your private trader company will be established and registered in the Trade Register by our partner UKKO Pro.

You will gain the following advantages from registering your private trader company:

  • Your company name will be protected. No one else may use your company name for business activities.
  • You will gain more credibility. Customers and partners searching for information on your company may find it odd if it is not registered. 
  • You can do your banking more conveniently. You can digitally sign agreements for your company without having to come to our branch.
2. Private trader’s invoicing and accounting
3. Banking services
4. Self-employed person’s pension insurance (YEL)
