Business Setup and support in Sweden
Sweden is one of the most dynamic and innovative economies in Europe, offering ideal conditions for conducting international business. A high level of digitalization, stable legislation, access to the EU single market and a transparent taxation system make this country attractive for investors and entrepreneurs. However, entering the Swedish market requires a clear understanding of local legal procedures. Prykhodko & Partners provides a full range of services for registering and supporting businesses in Sweden, ensuring our clients security and efficiency at every stage.
Choosing a legal form
The first step is to determine the optimal form of doing business. In Sweden, the most common options are:
- Aktiebolag (AB) – joint-stock company. The most popular form for medium and large businesses. Requires a minimum capital of 25,000 SEK (about €2,200). Owners are liable up to the amount of their capital.
- Handelsbolag (HB) – general partnership. All partners are jointly and severally liable.
- Enskild firma – sole proprietorship. Suitable for small businesses, but provides for full liability of the entrepreneur with all assets.
Our experts will help you analyze the goals, scope of activities and tax aspects to choose the most profitable form for your project.
Key steps in registering a company
- Preparation of documents: development of the statute (stiftelseurkund), determination of the direction of activity, preparation of information about managers and owners.
- Registration with the Swedish Companies Registration Agency (Bolagsverket): submission of an application, deposit of authorized capital into a special account. According to the standard procedure, registration takes from 1 to 3 weeks.
- Tax registration: obtaining an identification number from the Swedish Tax Agency (Skatteverket) for payment of VAT, income taxes and payroll taxes.
- Opening a bank account: Swedish banks have high compliance standards, so the process may require additional documents regarding the source of funds and beneficiaries.
- Licensing and permits: depending on the type of activity (financial services, trade, production), special permits may be required.
Our team takes care of all administrative procedures, saving you time and avoiding common mistakes.
Ongoing business support
Registration is just the beginning. To successfully operate in Sweden, ongoing legal and accounting support is necessary. Prikhodko & Partners offers:
- Tax planning: advice on income tax (22% for AB), VAT (25%, 12%, 6%), payroll taxes.
- Labor law: assistance in drafting contracts, understanding employee rights and employer obligations.
- Contract law: development and analysis of agreements with suppliers, customers, partners.
- Compliance: ensuring compliance with anti-corruption legislation, data protection laws (GDPR), financial reporting.
