bolagsverket

Bolagsverket, or the Swedish Companies Registration Office, is a Swedish government agency responsible for the registration and administration of companies and associations in Sweden. It operates under the Ministry of Enterprise and Innovation and serves as the public registry for corporate information in Sweden. The agency's core tasks include registering new companies and other legal entities (such as limited liability companies, partnerships, and associations), maintaining current information on registered entities (such as corporate name, registered address, board members, and share capital), and processing required filings such as annual reports and changes to the company’s legal structure. Bolagsverket also handles registrations of trader names and other business forms, and it issues official extracts and copies of records upon request.

In addition to registration, Bolagsverket ensures compliance by accepting and storing documents that businesses are required to file, including annual reports and changes in governance. The public can access company information through Bolagsverket's online services, which enables searching for registered entities, downloading extracts, and ordering certified copies. The agency provides guidance to businesses on registration requirements, reporting obligations and deadlines, and it collaborates with other authorities to support transparent and efficient business operations in Sweden.

The information maintained by Bolagsverket is used by public authorities, researchers, banks, and the general public to verify a company’s legal status, ownership, and corporate structure. Bolagsverket operates with a focus on efficiency, digital services, and strict data protection in accordance with Swedish law.
