Financial statements for Migri and other authorities
If the Finnish Immigration Service (Migri) or another authority asks you to provide proof of your income, remember that a bank statement alone is not sufficient proof of an entrepreneur's income. You must present several documents related to your entrepreneurship.
Download these 5 documents from the app:
Truster, open Menu, select Company Information, and click Downloadable Reports. From there, download the following documents for the requested time period:
- Income statement (Most important!): This shows your income and expenses for a specific period.
- Sales report: A detailed list of your sales.
- Expense report: A detailed list of your expenses.
- Withdrawal report: Information about the funds you have withdrawn.
- Certificate of Truster usage.
You will also need other documents:
- YEL certificate:
- You can obtain this certificate from your pension company (e.g., Elo) via their online service.
- Cover letter (Balance sheet missing):
- Authorities often ask companies for their "balance sheet."
- However, as a sole trader, you do not have a balance sheet because you use single-entry bookkeeping.
- Solution: Download a ready-made cover letter explaining the missing balance sheet and attach it to the other documents.

Please note that each request is always individual, so pay close attention to the documents requested and the time period for which the documents are requested.
