    How do I check whether a company is still active in Sweden?

    Identify the exact company in Bolagsverket, then record its status, source and retrieval date. Active registration does not prove current trading or financial health. Liquidation is not the same as dissolution; interpret each status using the official register's terminology.

    Step-by-step

    1. 1

      Find the company

      Search by name or registration number to open the correct record.

    2. 2

      Read the status field

      Preserve the exact status wording and its effective date where supplied. Consult the official explanation; a non-active label is not by itself a fraud verdict or a complete legal opinion.

    3. 3

      Check the available filing dates

      Distinguish the document date, status effective date and retrieval date. Filing schedules vary by entity and jurisdiction, so a gap is a question to investigate rather than proof of non-compliance.

    4. 4

      Confirm at the source

      Status changes propagate from Bolagsverket at https://www.bolagsverket.se. For a decision with money attached, confirm there.

    Sweden: choosing and checking the right record

    Choose the correct source
    Use Bolagsverket's Sök företagsinformation service. It replaced Näringslivsregistret, which closed in September 2025. Follow the current official service page rather than an old bookmarked search screen; check access for the document you need.
    Confirm the entity
    Start with the organisationsnummer and legal name. Keep the number separate from an SE-prefixed VAT identifier. Confirm whether the record concerns a company, association or another organisation before interpreting officer roles.

    Frequently asked questions

    How do I know if a Sweden company is still trading?

    The register's status field is the authoritative answer. An active/registered status on Bolagsverket means the entity is currently on the register. It does not by itself prove the business is operating, so also check the most recent filing date.

    What does "dissolved" or "struck off" mean?

    These labels generally indicate a registration has ended or been removed. Check the source's explanation and any subsequent reinstatement or successor filings. Contract validity and legal consequences require separate advice; they cannot be decided from this field alone.

    Is checking company status in Sweden free?

    LemReveal's basic lookup is free. Check Bolagsverket's current access terms for status information or official documents; fees and account requirements vary.

    What is an AB in Sweden?

    AB (Aktiebolag) is the Swedish limited company, equivalent to a Ltd or GmbH. A private AB requires SEK 25,000 minimum share capital. A public AB (Publikt AB) requires SEK 500,000. AB is the most common entity type for Swedish businesses.
