🇫🇮 Fonecta Finland Companies Scraper

Search Fonecta, Finland's biggest business directory, and get a clean list of Finnish companies with their phone, email, website, business ID (Y-tunnus), address, up to five years of financials, credit rating, and payment default record. No login, no account.

Built for B2B lead generation, credit screening, and market research across every industry and municipality in Finland.

🎯 Who uses it?

📞 Sales and lead generation teams

Build a call list by industry and municipality, then narrow it to the companies that fit: headcount, turnover, growth, and only those with an email or phone.

💳 Credit, risk, and collections teams

Screen prospects and customers by credit rating and registered payment defaults, or find companies with a bankruptcy or restructuring petition.

💻 Web and marketing agencies

Find established, profitable local businesses that still have no website.

📊 Market researchers and investors

Compare turnover, margins, and headcount across an industry or region, with up to five years of history per company.

✨ What it does

• Search: any Finnish industry word, keyword, or company name, in any of Finland's 309 municipalities, whole regions, or around a map point within a chosen distance.
• Company filters: company or office, legal form, and founding year.
• Financial filters: employees, turnover, profitability, turnover trend, and exporters or importers.
• Credit and risk filters: minimum credit rating, with or without payment defaults, and risk level, including bankruptcy, restructuring, or closure.
• Contact filters: with or without an email, phone, or website.
• Look up: resolve known companies directly from their business ID (Y-tunnus) or Fonecta profile link.
• Complete results: large searches are split automatically, so you get every match and not just the first 10,000.
• Location check: a misspelled municipality stops the run with suggestions instead of quietly returning all of Finland. Swedish names such as Helsingfors or Jakobstad work too.

Missing source values are returned as null, never invented.

Why this scraper

• Financials on every company that files them. Turnover, operating profit and margin, net income, EBITDA margin, employees, and turnover per employee, for up to five fiscal years, in plain euros.
• Credit rating and payment defaults from each full company profile: rating from AAA to C with its meaning in English, credit score, risk class, and the count and total of registered collection cases.
• Filters that match how B2B lists are really built: size, turnover, profitability, growth, credit rating, and risk, not just a keyword.
• Registry details: business ID, legal form, founding date, trade register, employer register, and VAT registrations, plus trade names and the full office list.
• Business data only. Private persons, named contact people, and hidden or paywalled directory entries are left out on purpose.

⚙️ How the input is organised

Maximum results sits at the very top, since it applies no matter what you're doing. Leave it empty to collect every match. Below it, the form is split into seven numbered sections:

Section	What it's for
1 · What to do	Search for companies or look up known ones.
2 · What and where	Industries or keywords, municipalities, regions, or a map point and distance.
3 · Company profile	Company or office, legal form, founding year, and employees.
4 · Financials	Turnover, profitability, turnover trend, and foreign trade.
5 · Credit and risk	Credit rating, payment defaults, risk level, and whether to load the full credit profile.
6 · Contact details	With or without an email, phone, or website.
7 · Look up	Business IDs or Fonecta profile links to resolve directly.

Finnish industry words give the best results, for example kampaamo (hair salon), tilitoimisto (accounting firm), rakennusliike (construction company), hammaslääkäri (dentist), ravintola (restaurant), autokorjaamo (car repair), or kiinteistönvälitys (real estate agency).

🛡️ Limits & responsible use

This Actor reads only public Fonecta business listings and company profiles. It never signs in and never accesses anything behind a paywall.

It collects business information only. Private persons, named contact people, and directory entries whose details Fonecta hides behind a paywall are left out on purpose. Sole traders are included because they are registered businesses with their own business ID. Business contact details are still covered by the GDPR and by Fonecta's terms, so use them for relevant B2B outreach, respect opt-outs, and do not republish the content.

Financial, employee, and credit fields only exist for companies that file financial statements, so most sole traders have them empty. Filters on those fields leave out companies without the data.

Around 1,000 full company profiles with credit data load in about half a minute. Turning off the credit profile makes contact-only lists even faster.

In Look up mode, a business ID or profile that doesn't resolve is never written to the dataset, so you are never charged for it. It is listed in the run log and in the NOT_FOUND record of the run's key-value store, so you can check your list.
