Starting a Limited Company in Sweden as a Foreign National

Establishing a limited company in Sweden for individuals who are not residents of the country can be challenging. The simplest solution is to purchase a ready-made shelf company.

Board Requirements

  • At least half of the board members and deputy members must be residents of the European Union (EU).
  • It is possible to apply for an exemption if the board can demonstrate that propercontrol of the company will be maintained even if the members are not residents of Sweden.
  • If no board member resides in Sweden, a process agent (receivable person)must be appointed.

Shareholder Requirements

  • There are no specific requirements for shareholders, except that the Swedish Tax Agency may request a certificate from the shareholder’s home country confirming that tax obligations are properly fulfilled.
  • Share capital: SEK 25,000. The fee to Startabolag may be paid from this deposit.

Required Information

To proceed, we require:

  • Proposed company name and business activities
  • Details of the board of directors and shareholders
  • Passport copies and home addresses of board members
  • A certificate of registration if the shareholder is a company
  • If a Swedish business address is not available, we can provide assistance.

Payment of Share Capital

  • If a person resides in Sweden, a bank power of attorney is used when purchasing the shelf company. This allows the bank to issue a certificate confirming the deposit of share capital.
  • For foreign owners, this process may take longer, as Swedish banks require additional verification for non-residents.
  • The foreign owner may instead deposit the share capital with Startabolag, and the Swedish company can open a bank account once the amendments are registered with the Swedish Companies Registration Office (Bolagsverket).

Processing Time

  • Purchase of a shelf company typically takes 2–3 days.
  • The buyer signs the necessary documents and transfers SEK 25,000 according to instructions.
  • Once completed, the buyer may represent the company, and we will submit
  • A new certificate of registration is issued approximately 10 days after approval.

Fees and Other Information

  • Company documents (purchase agreement, general meeting and board minutes,etc.) are signed electronically, for example using a PIN code.
  • To provide an exact quotation, we need to know the level of assistance required. Contact: +46 8 54 54 54 54 | info@startabolag.com

Quick Liquidation / Company Dissolution

What is a Liquidation / Quick Dissolution?
Liquidation means that your limited company is closed in an orderly manner. All assets are distributed to the shareholders, and the company is dissolved. The organization number ceases to exist. Normally, this process takes 8–10 months, as the liquidator must notify unknown creditors to ensure no debts are overlooked. In a quick liquidation, we take over the company and manage the process internally. This allows the shareholders to receive payment immediately, and responsibility for thecompany is transferred to the liquidator.
