Swedish company registration

The company's registered capital must be used for the company's day-to-day operating costs, e.g. to pay for the cost of goods, to pay for an accountant, to pay for the services of TKEG Expat.

Swedish law requires that at least half of the members of the board of directors of a Swedish private limited liability company reside in the European Economic Area (EEA). If you do not have Swedish or EU residency, TKEG Expat can submit an application to the Swedish Industry and Commerce Agency for an exemption from the residency requirement for directors. Once approved, your company does not need a Swedish resident to act as a nominee director; however, if the board members do not permanently reside in Sweden or do not have a Swedish personal tax ID number, the company will need to designate a Swedish resident to act as your company's contact person in Sweden (Delgivningsbar), who will be responsible for representing the company in communications with the government.

No. Nominee or proxy shareholders of any kind are not provided for Swedish companies. Shareholders must be the actual beneficial owners.

Any individual holding more than 25% of the company must be declared as a beneficial owner (UBO). This is assessed by tracing the ownership chain through to the ultimate individual — including through a listed parent company. If a new financial report later shows that an individual crosses the 25% threshold, the UBO declaration must be corrected and supplementary supporting materials may be required.
