Company Registration in Sweden from India

Q: Can an Indian citizen be the sole director of a Swedish company?

An Indian citizen can be a director of a Swedish company. For a private limited company (Aktiebolag or AB), a minimum of one director is required. However, there's a residency requirement: at least half of the board of directors must reside within the European Economic Area (EEA). If this condition isn't met, an exemption can be applied for, and a local contact person in Sweden may need to be appointed.

Q: How long does the entire company registration process take in Sweden?

The timeline can vary. Registering the company with Bolagsverket (the Swedish Companies Registration Office) can take around 7-15 working days if all documents are in order. However, the entire process, including tax registrations (VAT, F-tax, employer registration), can take longer, often around 4 to 10 weeks, and sometimes even longer for tax registration approvals (reportedly up to six months or more in some cases). If you opt for a ready-made company, the change of ownership can be quicker, around 5-10 working days.

Q: What is the minimum investment required to start an Aktiebolag (AB)?

The minimum share capital required to start a private limited liability company (Aktiebolag or AB) in Sweden is SEK 25,000. This amount needs to be transferred to a bank account opened specifically for the company. For a public limited company, the minimum share capital is significantly higher at SEK 500,000.

Q: Is it difficult for a foreign-owned company to open a bank account in Sweden?

Opening a business bank account in Sweden for a foreign-owned company can be challenging due to strict compliance and Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements from Swedish banks. Foreign owners often face delays or rejections if their documentation is not perfectly in order. Banks typically require extensive documentation, and language barriers can add to the complexity. While traditional banks like SEB, Nordea, Swedbank, and Handelsbanken are options, some foreign-owned companies might find digital banking services or assistance from specialized service providers helpful in navigating the process.
