| Finnish Business Services Overview |
 |
OCRA Worldwide is able to assist and guide clients wishing to establish
a presence in Finland.
Finland’s central location in Northern Europe, its full membership
in the European Union, its long-established connections to Russia,
the Nordic and Baltic countries and experience in doing business
with them are just some of the reasons why Finland is an ideal base
for your business in this fast-growing market area with over 80
million consumers.
Finland offers many opportunities for success boasting both a highly
educated and reliable work force and an infrastructure which functions
exceptionally well. Finland was ranked first, followed by USA and
Sweden in the 2005-2006 survey of competitiveness conducted by the
Geneva-based World Economic Forum (WEF). Finland is number two globally
in R&D spending per capita.
Finland has traditionally been a small, open economy with a large
export sector in relation to GNP. Finland, together with the other
Nordic countries, is generally associated with high taxes, especially
on the personal level. However the general corporate tax rate is
a moderate 26%.
The OCRA Worldwide team, based in the World Trade Centre in the
heart of Helsinki, close to all major banks and law firms has for
several years been involved with investments in and out of Finland.
