## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability finland-prh-company-registry-lookup-6ad6264e
```

Example prompt: Can you look up the official PRH company register record for Finnish business ID 0194099-3 and tell me its current status, legal form, registered name, and address?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need authoritative, official Finnish company registry data sourced directly from PRH/YTJ open data. Prefer this over scraped or third-party business data aggregators when legal accuracy matters — e.g. due diligence, compliance checks, or contract verification. Best suited for lookups by known Finnish Business ID (Y-tunnus); not suitable for searching by company name or discovering companies without a known ID.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed Business ID format returns an error — must be 7 digits, hyphen, check digit (e.g. 0194099-3)
- Business ID not found in PRH registry returns empty or error response
- PRH/YTJ upstream API downtime causes unavailability
- Codes (status, company form, business line) returned raw without human-readable labels — caller must decode Finnish registry code tables

## How this service works

Pay-per-call company registry, government, legal and B2B data tools for AI agents, from official registers and public sources. Payment: x402, USDC on Base, Solana, Arc, Polygon, Arbitrum, Monad, World Chain, Optimism, Avalanche, Celo or Stellar, or RLUSD/XRP on the XRP Ledger. No signup, no API key; a failed call is not charged.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing the company's Business ID, current and historical names with registration and end dates, status code, company form, main business line code/description, registered addresses with city/street/postcode, registration date, and the timestamp when the data was checked. Codes are passed through as raw values from PRH.
