This page contains information about different ways for a company to grant mandates.
Two ways to grant mandates: independent authorisation and a mandate application
The easiest and quickest way to grant mandates is in the Suomi.fi e-Authorizations service, at https://www.suomi.fi/e-authorizationsOpens in a new window.. In companies, mandates are granted either alone or jointly. When mandates are granted jointly, one person starts the authorisation and the others validate it. The granted mandates enter into force immediately or at the desired point in time.
However, it is not always possible to grant mandates independently in Suomi.fi. If your company cannot grant mandates independently, you can submit a mandate application. The mandates will enter into force at the earliest when the Digital and Population Data Services Agency has processed the application.
Note that in some cases, acting on behalf of a company is also possible without a separate mandate.
Acting on behalf of a company without a separate mandate is possible only for persons with a role entered in the Trade Register or the Business Information System that entitles them to represent and the role has been specified in the service as a role entitled to act on behalf.
In companies, the following persons can grant mandates alone:
The board members who have been entered in the Trade Register, all of them together
Depending on the method of representation entered in the Trade Register, jointly by the board chair and one board member, or jointly by two board members.
The authorisation process can be started by the chair or any of the board members.
