Description
A ready-made Swedish AB is a pre-registered company that has never been used for business activities. Purchase a ready-made company to bypass typical registration delays. Ownership is transferred upon signing the contract, and the new owner receives a power of attorney to open a business bank account and deposit the 25,000 SEK share capital.
If the owner or any of the board members is not a Swedish resident, we offer a solution that makes opening a bank account easier. Contact us for more details.
Simplified Company Transfer in Sweden
To complete the transfer of your Swedish AB, the new management board must open a business bank account within 120 days and send us a bank certificate confirming the deposit.
Meanwhile, we will provide all the necessary documents for transferring ownership at Bolagsverket. Once the signed documents and the bank certificate are submitted, Bolagsverket will process the ownership change, typically within 15 working days (processing times may vary).
Please contact us if you need more information about the service.

Frequently Asked Questions about ready-made AB in Sweden
How fast will I actually be able to trade?
Ownership transfers the day you sign. Bolagsverket then takes about 10 to 15 business days to update the public register with the new ownership and board, the same government timeline for every provider. Before you can legally invoice or hire, F-skatt, VAT, and (if hiring) employer registration with Skatteverket also need to be in place. We handle all of it as one process rather than handing you off after the purchase. See the full timeline.
How much does a ready-made Swedish AB cost in total?
The service fee is 4,500 SEK, plus a 4,800 SEK state fee, for a total minimum of 9,300 SEK. You also need 25,000 SEK in share capital to open the company’s bank account. That capital stays in the company’s own account; it isn’t an extra fee to us, but it is money you need to have available at purchase.
Does the ready-made AB include a business address or contact person?
No. This service covers the company purchase, ownership transfer, and Bolagsverket registration only. A virtual business address and an appointed contact person (required if fewer than half your board members are EEA residents, see below) are separate services.
Do I need to deposit share capital, and by when?
Yes, 25,000 SEK. After purchase you have up to 120 days to open a business bank account and deposit it, though most buyers do this well before the deadline. We need a bank certificate confirming the deposit before submitting the ownership change to Bolagsverket.
Can I own a Swedish AB if I do not live in Sweden or the EEA?
Yes. Sweden places no restrictions on foreign ownership; 100% foreign ownership is allowed. At least 50% of the board, including deputies, must reside within the EEA. If you’re a non-EEA sole director, our contact person service satisfies this requirement so the company stays fully compliant.
What's the difference between buying a ready-made AB and forming a new company?
A ready-made AB skips Bolagsverket’s new-company formation queue, since the company already exists, which is real-time saved versus registering from scratch. Both paths still go through the same register update and the same F-skatt, VAT, and employer registration steps afterward, so what’s saved is specifically the formation queue, not what follows it.
