Pasos de constitución

  1. 1

    Choose a company name

    Same day

    Search availability at Bolagsverket. Name must include the legal form (e.g. 'AB') and be unique.

  2. 2

    Deposit share capital (AB only)

    1–5 business days

    Open a share-capital bank account and deposit at least SEK 25,000. Bank issues a certificate.

  3. 3

    Draft articles of association (bolagsordning)

    Same day

    Template available from Bolagsverket — specify business activity, share structure, board composition.

  4. 4

    Register with Bolagsverket

    1–3 weeks

    Submit application via verksamt.se (digital) or by post. Digital is faster and SEK 300 cheaper.

  5. 5

    Register with Skatteverket (Tax Agency)

    2–4 weeks

    Apply for F-tax approval, VAT registration, and employer registration in one combined application.

  6. 6

    Open a business bank account

    1–4 weeks

    Transfer share capital and activate normal business banking. Swedish banks run strict KYC.

Errores habituales

Underestimating bank KYC — opening a Swedish business bank account can take weeks and banks can refuse without explanation.

Missing the annual report (årsredovisning) deadline — late filing triggers penalties and public strike-off risk.

Confusing F-tax (F-skatt) with ordinary tax registration — you need F-tax to invoice clients without VAT withholding.

Not setting aside money for preliminary tax (preliminärskatt) — Skatteverket estimates and collects monthly.
