Finland New Companies: PRH Trade Register Lead Feed

What does Finland New Companies do?

Finland New Companies returns companies that were just entered in the Finnish trade register, straight from the official open data of the Finnish Patent and Registration Office (PRH). Each result has the business ID, form, industry, address, website and tax register status, so you can reach new Finnish businesses in their first weeks. It returns what the register publishes; it does not add contact details.

It collects data from Finnish Patent and Registration Office (PRH), Business Information System (YTJ) open data and returns clean, structured results you can download or pull through the Apify API.

Why use Finland New Companies?

• B2B sales and lead generation: reach new Finnish companies while they are choosing accountants, banks, software, insurance and office space.

• Market research: count new companies by industry, form or town and follow the trend with scheduled runs.
• KYB and onboarding checks: confirm a business ID, registration date and VAT status from the official register.
• AI agents: clean, consistent JSON with a link to the official YTJ record on every result.
• Runs on the Apify platform: schedule runs, call it through the API, connect it to integrations, and get notified when a run fails.

How to use Finland New Companies

1. Open the actor and select Try for free.
2. Fill in Days back, Registered from. The prefilled example works as a first test.
3. Set Maximum results to control how much data, and cost, a run produces.
4. Select Start and wait for the run to finish.
5. Download the results as JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML, or fetch them through the API.

How much does it cost to use Finland New Companies?

You pay per result: $5.00 per 1,000 results ($0.005 each), plus Apify's small start fee of $0.0001 per run. For example, 1,000 results cost about $5.00. You can set a maximum cost per run in the run options, and the actor stops cleanly when it is reached.

Subscribers to Apify's paid plans pay less per result: 10% off on Bronze, 20% off on Silver and 30% off on Gold and higher plans.

Get only new results

Turn on Only new results and schedule the actor (for example daily) to use it as a monitor: each run skips what earlier runs already returned, so you get a feed of new records and pay only for those. The first run returns everything that matches. The memory lives in your own Apify account; give runs the same Monitor name to share it when you change other inputs.

Use it from AI agents

AI agents can find and run Finland New Companies as a tool through Apify's MCP server (mcp.apify.com) or the Apify API, and get the same structured results, billed per result. Without code, Apify's Zapier, Make and n8n integrations can start it and send each new result to a sheet, CRM or chat.

Input

See the Input tab for every option. The main fields:

Field	Type	Default	Description
daysBack	integer	7	Companies registered in this many days up to today. Ignored when a start date is set.
dateFrom	string	""	Only companies registered on or after this date (YYYY-MM-DD). Leave empty to use Days back.
dateTo	string	""	Only companies registered on or before this date (YYYY-MM-DD). Leave empty for today.
companyForms	array	["OY", "OYJ"]	Which legal forms to include. Housing companies and other property companies are left out by default because they are rarely buyers.
industryCodes	array	[]	TOIMI industry codes or their first digits, for example 62 for IT services or 4120 for construction of buildings. Leave empty for all industries.
town	string	""	Only companies with an address in this town, for example Helsinki or Tampere.
nameContains	string	""	Only companies whose name, or one of their other names, contains this text.
onlyActive	boolean	true	Leave out companies in liquidation, bankruptcy or restructuring.
maxResults	integer	1000	Stop after this many results. Each result costs $0.005, so this also caps the cost of a run. Use 0 for no limit. Keep it low for a first test.
onlyNew	boolean	false	Monitoring mode: skip results this monitor returned in earlier runs, so a scheduled run returns, and bills, only what is new. The first run returns everything that matches.
monitorName	string	""	Runs with the same name share one memory of returned results, even if you change other inputs. Leave empty to keep a separate memory for each distinct input.

Example input:

Tips

• Set Days back to 7, turn on Only new results and schedule a weekly run to get only the companies you have not seen yet.
• Use Industry codes such as 62 (software and IT services) or 41 (construction of buildings) to focus on your market.
• Employer registered and VAT registered show which new companies already pay salaries or sell VAT-liable services.
• Schedule the actor to keep a dataset fresh, and use the API or integrations to send new results where you need them.

FAQ, disclaimers, and support

Where does the data come from?

From Finnish Patent and Registration Office (PRH), Business Information System (YTJ) open data (avoindata.prh.fi). Data is used under: PRH open data is published under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 licence (CC BY 4.0): reuse, including commercial reuse, is allowed with attribution to the Finnish Patent and Registration Office. See the source's terms: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

Is it legal to use this data?

This actor only collects publicly available data from Finnish Patent and Registration Office (PRH), Business Information System (YTJ) open data and does not collect personal data about private individuals. Check that your use complies with the source's terms and the laws that apply to you. This actor is not affiliated with or endorsed by Finnish Patent and Registration Office (PRH), Business Information System (YTJ) open data.

How fresh is the data?

PRH updates its open data every day, and the actor queries the live API on every run. A company appears once its registration is entered in the trade register.

Why do some companies have no website or industry?

Companies add those details themselves, and many new companies have not done so yet. The register does not publish email addresses or phone numbers, and the actor does not add them.

Does it return private traders or people's addresses?

No. PRH's open data holds registered legal entities only, and the actor leaves out care-of names and apartment numbers from addresses.

What is the difference between the registration date and the business ID date?

The business ID is often granted weeks before the company is entered in the trade register. The actor filters on the trade register date, so you get companies that just became registered.
