Your AI-powered guide to choosing the right business form in Sweden
Why This Matters
Choosing the right business structure is crucial when starting a business in Sweden. It affects your:
- Personal liability
- Tax obligations
- Administrative requirements
- Growth possibilities
Answer a few simple questions, and we'll guide you to the most suitable business form for your situation.
Swedish ID Status
Do you have a Swedish personal number, a coordination number (samordningsnummer), or neither?
Why we ask
Having a Swedish personal number or coordination number affects what business forms you can register. Without either, your options are limited.
Ownership Structure
Will you be running the business alone, or with one or more partners?
Why we ask
Having partners affects which business forms are available to you. Some forms like Enskild Firma are only for solo entrepreneurs.
Risk & Responsibility
Are you willing to take full financial risk/responsibility for the company's debts and obligations?
Why we ask
Some business forms like Enskild Firma have unlimited personal liability, while others like Aktiebolag (AB) offer limited liability protection.
Invoicing Preference
Do you want to invoice clients directly as yourself, or via an umbrella platform (e.g. Frilans Finans)?
Why we ask
Umbrella companies (Egenanställning) can handle administration for you, but you'll pay a percentage of your income for this service.
Projected Income
Do you expect to earn more than 85,000 SEK per year from this business?
Why we ask
If you earn above ~85,000 SEK, you'll likely need to register for F-skatt (F-tax) and possibly VAT. Below that threshold, you might be considered a hobbyist rather than a business.
Administrative Burden
Do you want to avoid doing advanced bookkeeping and tax declarations yourself?
Why we ask
Different business forms have varying levels of administrative requirements. Egenanställning requires almost no administration, while Aktiebolag has the highest administrative burden.
Growth Plans
Are you planning to expand the business (e.g. hire employees or seek investors) in the future?
Why we ask
Some business forms are better suited for growth. Aktiebolag (AB) is the standard for businesses aiming to expand, hire employees, or seek investment.
Bank Account
Do you have a Swedish bank account?
Why we ask
A Swedish bank account is required to register Enskild Firma (EF) and Aktiebolag (AB). Without one, Egenanställning may be your only option.
Student Visa Status
Are you currently in Sweden on a student visa?
Why we ask
Student visa holders may have restrictions on running businesses. This affects the forms you can legally operate under.
Regulated Sector
Will you be freelancing in construction or transport sectors?
Why we ask
Construction and transport are heavily regulated sectors in Sweden. You may need special permits, licenses, or certifications.
Risk Sharing Preference
Do you want all partners to share business risk equally?
Why we ask
Handelsbolag (HB) means all partners share risks equally, while Aktiebolag (AB) keeps each owner's liability separate and limited.
Partners Residency
Are all your business partners residents in Sweden with personnummer?
Why we ask
Handelsbolag (HB) typically requires all partners to have a personnummer. If some partners are non-residents, Aktiebolag (AB) is usually more suitable.
