Procedures Relative to Foreign Investment

Freedom of Establishment
In general, Sweden imposes no restrictions on foreign investments or foreign shareholders. However, in certain sectors, conditions aimed at limiting foreign ownership can be imposed as a requirement for obtaining the necessary permits. Confirmation usually takes two to three weeks once the Swedish Company Registration Bureau has received the written application.
Acquisition of Holdings
Taking a majority holding in the capital of a Swedish company is allowed. For more information on mergers and acquisitions please visit Bolagsverket.
Obligation to Declare
The Swedish Act (1992:160) on Foreign Branches applies to foreign companies operating through a branch and also to people residing abroad who run a business in Sweden.

The investment promotion agency in the country gives information about the authorisations necessary for establishing a business.

Competent Organisation For the Declaration
The Swedish Companies Registration Office (Bolagsverket)
