EU Company Registry Search – Finland, Estonia & Czechia

Search three official European company registers with one input and get the same clean record format back:

• Finland: Finnish Patent and Registration Office (PRH), YTJ open data API (Business ID / Y-tunnus)
• Estonia: e-Business Register (e-äriregister) open data (registry code / registrikood)
• Czechia: ARES, the Administrative Register of Economic Subjects (IČO)

Each record has the registry ID, VAT ID (when VAT-registered), EUID (Finland), name, legal form (Oy, OÜ, s.r.o., a.s.…), status (active, pending, in liquidation, bankrupt, dissolved), registration date, registered address, postal code, city and region, industry code (TOL 2008 / CZ-NACE where the register gives one), website (Finland) and a link to the official register page.

Three modes:

1. New registrations: companies registered in a date range (default: the last 7 days), newest first. A daily lead feed of new Finnish Oy, Estonian OÜ and Czech s.r.o. companies.
2. Name search: every company whose name contains your text (nordic, software, asseco…).
3. ID lookup: bulk check of Finnish Business IDs, Estonian registry codes or VAT numbers, and Czech IČO numbers. Is the company still active? What is its legal form, address and VAT number?

All data comes from official, keyless open-data sources. No scraping of web pages, no login, no API key. $1.50 per 1,000 companies.

Who uses it

• KYB, KYC and compliance teams: verify Nordic, Baltic and Central European counterparties in bulk. Check the status, legal form, VAT number and registered address.
• B2B sales and lead generation: a weekly list of new companies in Finland, Estonia and Czechia (accountants, banks, insurers, SaaS, office suppliers, web agencies).
• Cross-border prospecting: one schema for several countries, so you skip three different register formats.
• Researchers and journalists: company formation trends by country, legal form or city.

Input examples

Add this Actor to Claude, ChatGPT or any MCP client through the Apify MCP server and ask, for example: "List new Estonian OÜ companies registered in Tartu this week", "Is Czech IČO 27074358 still active and what is its VAT number?" or "Find Finnish companies with 'nordic' in their name in Helsinki".

FAQ

How fresh is the data? Finland and Czechia are queried live. Estonia comes from the e-Business Register open-data file, which is regenerated every day.

Why are new Finnish companies "Pending / Unregistered"? A Business ID is granted the day the start-up notification arrives. The trade-register entry follows a few days later. They are real new companies, which is why they are good leads.

Why do Czech results lag by a few days? New Czech registrations are found through the official ARES change batches of the public (commercial) register, published every 1–3 days. The registrationDate is the legal date of establishment, so use at least 7 days for a complete picture. The batches cover about the last 30 days.

Why is there no industry code for Estonia or for brand-new Czech companies? The Estonian basic open-data file has no EMTAK code. New Czech companies often have no CZ-NACE code yet.

Why are sole traders excluded by default? Estonian FIE and Czech trade-licence holders are natural persons, and the "company" name is the person's name. Set excludeSoleTraders to false if you have a legitimate reason to process them.

ARES says there are too many results. ARES returns at most 1,000 matches per name search. Add a city, turn on onlyLimitedCompanies or use a more specific name.
