Talk to usSee how Selvia can help

You don’t need to have everything figured out.

Whatever stage you’re at, that’s a fine place to start.

  • I don’t know which company form I need.

    We can help you understand the practical differences based on what you’re starting.

  • I haven’t registered anything yet.

    That’s fine. We can start from the beginning.

  • I’ve already started the process.

    We can help from where you are now.

Not sure whether Toiminimi or Oy fits?

The right structure depends on what you’re starting, who’s involved and how you expect to operate. We can help you understand the practical differences before you set it up — this is general information, not legal or tax advice for your situation.

Talk to us about your setup

Toiminimi · Private trader

Simple to set up — usually works well starting alone.

Oy · Limited company

A separate legal entity — suits shared ownership or bigger plans.
