Osakeyhtiö, directly translated as "share corporation", is the Finnish equivalent of Limited company (Ltd or LLC) or Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung (GmbH). It is abbreviated to Oy or OY which comes either before or after the company's name, often with the Swedish version Ab or AB (aktiebolag).

The order of the Finnish and Swedish abbreviations defines the main language of the company: OY Suomi AB or Suomi Oy Ab would have Finnish as its main language whereas AB Finland OY or Finland Ab Oy would be Swedish.
