Firmateckningen

Firmateckningen, meaning "company drawing" or "company signature" in Swedish, refers to the authorized individuals or entities who have the legal right to sign documents on behalf of a registered company. This authority is typically established and documented within the company's official registration or articles of association. The specific individuals holding firmateckningen are often directors, CEOs, or other designated representatives. This authorization is crucial for the legal and financial operations of a business, as it validates contracts, agreements, and other legally binding documents. Without proper firmateckningen, a signature on behalf of a company may not be legally recognized. The extent of this authority can vary; some individuals may have sole signing power, while others may need to sign in conjunction with another authorized person. Changes to who holds firmateckningen must be formally registered with the relevant authorities to ensure transparency and legal compliance. This system helps to prevent unauthorized actions and provides a clear chain of accountability for corporate decisions.
