    How do I check if a company is registered in Sweden?

    To check if a company is registered in Sweden, search its exact registration number or legal name on Bolagsverket (https://www.bolagsverket.se). Compare the identifier and available identity fields before reading the recorded status. A name-only match is a candidate, not confirmation. Official access requirements and document fees vary.

    Step-by-step

    1. 1

      Open the official Bolagsverket

      Go to https://www.bolagsverket.se. This is the primary government-operated source.

      https://www.bolagsverket.se
    2. 2

      Search by name or number

      Use the legal name or identifier supported by Bolagsverket. Trading-name and partial-name searches are not universal.

    3. 3

      Check status and legal name

      Compare the exact identifier and legal name. Preserve the source's status wording: historical and dissolved entities can still have registry records.

    4. 4

      Cross-check the registered address

      Compare the available registered address with the counterparty's documents. A registered office can differ legitimately from a trading address; clarify the difference rather than treating it as evidence of misconduct.

    5. 5

      Download the official extract (optional)

      Most registers let you download a formal extract or certificate. Use this for KYC, procurement, or contract files.

    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 check if a company is registered in Sweden?

    Search the exact registration number on Bolagsverket at https://www.bolagsverket.se, then compare the legal name and available identity details. Read the status and its date in the source's own terminology. Name similarity alone does not confirm the entity.

    How can I check if a Sweden company is still active?

    Read the status on the exact entity's Bolagsverket record, preserving its wording and retrieval date. Liquidation is not the same as dissolution: an entity can remain registered while undergoing liquidation. A registry status is not a solvency or trustworthiness assessment.

    Is a Sweden company with a website automatically registered?

    No. A website, email domain or invoice letterhead proves nothing. The only authoritative proof is a current entry in Bolagsverket with a matching legal name and registration number.

    What proves a Sweden company is legally registered?

    An entry in Bolagsverket with an "active" or equivalent status is the definitive proof. The registration number returned by Bolagsverket is the authoritative identifier.

    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.

    Is the Sweden company register free to search?

    Yes. Basic company lookups on the Bolagsverket are free — you can search by company name or registration number, view legal status, registered address and (usually) directors at no cost. Some jurisdictions charge a small fee only for downloading full filed documents.

    What is the official Sweden business registry?

    The Bolagsverket is the official public register of companies incorporated in Sweden. It is operated by the government and is the primary source cited on this page — https://www.bolagsverket.se.

    How can I check if a Sweden company is legitimate?

    Look the company up on the Bolagsverket. If the entity returns an "active" (or equivalent local status) result, matches the registered address on its invoices, and its listed directors match who is signing your contract, it is a real registered entity. Anything reported as "dissolved", "struck off" or "in liquidation" should be treated with caution.

    What information can I get about a Sweden company for free?

    Free public data from the Bolagsverket typically includes: legal name, registration number, incorporation date, registered address, current status, business type, and current directors / officers. Historical filings and certified copies may carry a small fee.
