toimipaikkaa

Toimipaikka is a Finnish noun meaning the place where an organization or business conducts its operations. It refers to the physical location or locations of activity, such as an office, factory, store, or service point. In Finnish, the form toimipaikkaa is the partitive singular and is used when the word functions as the object or in constructions that require the partitive, for example: toimipaikkaa koskevat tiedot (information relating to the operating location).

The concept is often contrasted with kotipaikka, which denotes the legal domicile or registered office of a person or company. Kotipaikka concerns official status and legal residence, while toimipaikka focuses on where activities are actually carried out. A company may have a single toimipaikka or multiple toimipaikkoja across regions, each with its own address and local significance for operations, taxation, or local regulation.

In practical use, toimipaikka appears in business documents, registrations, invoicing, and administration to indicate where operations occur or where services are provided. It is a common term in Finnish corporate and public administration contexts and is closely related to related terms such as osoite (address) and toimipaikka (branch office) in organizational descriptions.
