Why are there no company names?
Statistics Finland tables 13fb, 13fe, and 13fd publish counts by place, industry, and legal form. They do not identify a company or a person.
| Form | Enterprises | Year earlier |

| Natural persons | 60 | 62 |
| General and limited partnerships | 6 | 14 |
| Others | 3 | 8 |
Method
How this month's count was calculated
The extract was read on 2026-10-25. Table 13fb was updated on 2026-10-20. The published count is instigated bankruptcies, 357 enterprises.
1. National count
Table 13fb supplies enterprises, staff-years, the 12-month sum, and the moving annual change.
2. Check
The national totals in tables 13fe and 13fd match the enterprise count in table 13fb.
3. Breakdown
Municipality and region come from table 13fe. TOL sections and 3-digit classes come from table 13fd.
Limits
- A proceeding instigated does not say whether it concluded or whether the enterprise kept operating.
- Staff-years are the table's own measure, not a list of people.
- Natural persons appear only as a legal-form count.
- The month's own year-over-year change is calculated from two published counts. The moving annual change is table 13fb's published percentage.
