    How do I search for a company by name in Sweden?

    Search the legal name on Bolagsverket, or use LemReveal's free basic lookup where supported. Treat name matches as candidates until the exact identifier and available identity details agree. Fields such as Organisation number, Company name, Legal form, Registered address depend on the source; official access and fees vary.

    Step-by-step

    1. 1

      Enter the legal name

      Start with the legal name on the contract. Try a distinctive part only if the source supports partial-name searches; trading names may require a separate source.

    2. 2

      Narrow ambiguous matches

      Common names return several entities. Use the registered address, incorporation date, or entity type (AB (Aktiebolag), HB (Handelsbolag), KB (Kommanditbolag)) to identify the right one.

    3. 3

      Open the candidate record

      Compare the exact identifier and available fields. If identity is uncertain, keep the match unresolved rather than selecting the first result.

    4. 4

      Cross-check against Bolagsverket

      For KYC or contract files, confirm the record against the primary source at https://www.bolagsverket.se.

    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.
