Steps for Registering a Company in Sweden

The process of starting an enterprise in Sweden is relatively easy compared to other European nations. 

Choose the type of business that you intend to venture into. The applicable entities include a sole trader, trading partnership, limited company, non-profit association, and an economic association. Each classification has certain legal requirements.

Register the enterprise with the Swedish Companies Registration Office. However, in the case of a sole trader, one does not have to execute this step though it is helpful in protecting the firm’s name.

Register the business with the Swedish Tax Agency. This step also entails applying for business VAT, entity as an employer, and F-tax approval.     

Register with the sectoral organizations. For example, it is recommended to register with the Swedish Hotel and Restaurant Association if you are starting a hotel or restaurant.
