Start a Swedish Limited Company (AB) Easily – Even as a Foreign Owner
Starting a Swedish limited company (aktiebolag) as a foreign owner can be complex. The fastest and easiest solution for non-residents is to purchase a ready-made Swedish shelf company and start operating immediately.
Why Choose a Swedish Shelf Company?
- Save time: Your company can be up and running in just a few days.
- Compliance made easy: All legal documents and registrations handled professionally.
- Smooth banking: Share capital can be securely deposited even if you’re abroad.
Using a shelf company is the fastest way for a foreign entrepreneur to start a company in Sweden without delays.
Board & Shareholder Requirements for Foreign Owners
- At least half of the board members and deputies must be EU residents.
- If no board members reside in Sweden, exemptions can be applied to show proper company control.
- If none of the officers are resident in Sweden, a receivable person must be appointed for service of documents — we provide this service.
- Shareholders have no residency requirement, but the Swedish Tax Agency may request proof of proper tax compliance.
- Minimum share capital: SEK 25,000 (Startabolag fees can be paid from this deposit).
