Starting a business

If you want to start a business in Sweden, there are several steps and requirements to consider. The requirements depend on the type of business and the activities you plan to carry out.

Citizens of EU and EEA countries have the right to start and run a business in Sweden under the same conditions as Swedish citizens. Depending on your situation, you may need to register your residence, obtain a Swedish personal identity number or coordination number, and meet any requirements relevant to your business activity.

This page provides an overview of registration, permits and licences, business support services, and useful resources to help you get started.
