Simple and efficient formation
Sweden has a transparent market and simple procedures. The business climate is uncomplicated. Incorporating a limited liability company, the legal format chosen by the vast majority of foreign investors, is very straightforward. The application is filed at the Swedish Companies Registration
Office (Bolagsverket) and is usually drawn up with the help of a lawyer. It takes an average of one to two weeks following the Office’s receipt of the application for the company to be established. Another option is to buy an off-the-shelf company, already fully organized and registered, from a law firm or specialist consultancy.
