The Swedish Companies Registration Office (Bolagsverket)

Bolagsverket is the Swedish authority that registers companies and company information.

What is Bolagsverket?

The Swedish Companies Registration Office (Bolagsverket) is the government authority responsible for registering companies in Sweden. It is where you register a new limited company, changes to the articles of association and other information.

 

What is registered with Bolagsverket?

Registrations include the board, share capital, beneficial owner and decisions such as a new share issue or a reduction of share capital. Note that the share ledger itself is not filed with Bolagsverket — the board is responsible for keeping and making it available.
