Editing Research/FI/How to find out who owns what

Yes.

'''By Finnish Law this is possible.'''

If it's a [[Sole Trader]] you can currently find it @ http://www.ytj.fi (not required by the law)

If it's a [[General partnership]] or [[Limited Partnership]] you can find it in the [[PRH]] (National Board of Patents and Registries), which is in [[w:Helsinki|Helsinki]].

If it's a [[PLC]] you can get it from [[HEX]] or their close associates, but it will cost some money. The amount of money depends on how many owners it has, but this is too expensive to be useful to us. Ten largest owners are known publicly. They're usually [[Institutional Investors]] so that's a bit not interesting

If it's a [[LTD]], just go to their headquarters and ask for current ownership data. If you make the trip you're entiteled to get photo-copies for what photo-copies, like cost, man. The official location of the HQ is publicly known and currently available @ http://www.ytj.fi (not required by the law) or PRH.

If someone want's the details please let me know and I'll iterate this document

Just today came the news that the law might be changed so that it's impossible to find out who own [[LTD]]s and only those owners of [[PLC]]s that have over 0,1% of shares are known, which would of course be bad for the openness of the economy [[User:Juxo|Juxo]] 10:09 May 7, 2003 (EEST)

This just in today too:

The [[newspaper]] that raported it had clear and exact reporting errors. (especially in the editorial, which was on the subject and concluded that this direction towards [[closed economy]] is not a good thing) Sorry for the inconvecience.
