Depending on the nature of your activity in Sweden, the type of structure that best suits your project on the Swedish market (liaison or representative office, subsidiary, branch), and the legal form of business in Sweden that you will choose (sole proprietorship, limited liability company, etc...), the administrative procedures and formalities for the formation of the company in Sweden may vary. Generally, the steps to create and register a company in Sweden are:

  • Choice of the legal form under Swedish law and the social capital

  • Obtaining a Swedish tax identification number

After these steps of creation, you will receive all the necessary legal documents attesting the legal existence of your company or subsidiary in Sweden. Your Sweden business will also have to meet the specific accounting requirements of Swedish business law.
