Company Formation in Sweden
Europe
Overview
Sweden is a stable and reliable European nation with a highly developed, export-oriented economy. While known for its high tax rates and comprehensive social welfare system, its robust legal framework makes it attractive for specific business structures, particularly the Limited Partnership (Kommanditbolag - KV) for international trade. This entity offers flexibility, including potential tax benefits when profits are distributed to offshore partners, and is suitable for investors looking to access new markets.
Our Process
Step 1: Choose Legal Entity
Select the appropriate business structure for your activities, such as a Limited Partnership (Kommanditbolag - KV) which is often chosen for trading, or a Limited Company (Aktiebolag - AB).
Step 2: Appoint Partners/Directors
For a Limited Partnership (KV), appoint a minimum of two partners: one limited partner (offshore entities are possible) and one general partner.
Step 3: Company Registration
Complete the necessary registration with the Swedish Companies Registration Office (Bolagsverket) by submitting all required documentation.
Step 4: Bank Account Opening
Facilitate the opening of a corporate bank account. Local bank accounts are primarily available for companies trading within Sweden; international options (e.g., Cyprus, Latvia, Denmark) are also offered.
