For a residence permit based on toiminimi, do I have to apply to get a trade register and a business ID ? Are they obligatory ?
On my profile on "Enter Finland", I see they are asking to submit a trade register but I do not know if it is obligatory if all I want to do is just toiminimi ?

Only the latter since you are in Finland. ” In order to get a residence permit for an entrepreneur, you need to have a Business ID.”jihad01 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 10, 2020 3:51 pmFor a residence permit based on toiminimi, do I have to apply to get a trade register and a business ID ? Are they obligatory ?

Indeed. Thank you.
And to have a business ID, one must have a trade register too

Not always. The Tax Administration can issue business ids when electing not to have a toiminimi. The thing the realise are the differences between the terms yksityinen elinkeinonharjoittaja and toiminimi.
” Yksityinen elinkeinonharjoittaja on lain mukaan ilmoitettava kaupparekisteriin, jos yksikin seuraavista asioista täyttyy:
* elinkeinotoimintaa varten on pysyvä toimipaikka eli omasta asunnosta erillinen liiketila
* palveluksessa on muita henkilöitä kuin aviopuoliso, alaikäinen lapsi tai lapsenlapsi
* harjoittaa luvanvaraista elinkeinotoimintaa.”

Being in the trade register simplifies the residence permit application though.

On Migri pages, toiminimi is also called private entrepreneur and private trader.

You were right. It seems there's a difference, unlike what Migri pages generally say.betelgeuse wrote: ↑Sun Sep 13, 2020 9:58 amNot always.

Re: trade register compulsory for toiminimi ?
Colloquially the latter often mixes with the former but legally speaking toiminimi is only the registered trade name and nothing else. So a privater trader can choose whether to have a registered trade name (toiminimi) or not in the mentioned situations.jihad01 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 14, 2020 10:02 amYou were right.
