Branch

  • Svenska

A foreign company wishing to operate in Sweden without registering a subsidiary may open a branch. A branch is a foreign company's local office in Sweden with its own administration and corporate identity number.

A branch is not the same as a limited company

A branch is part of a foreign-based company. Make sure you know about the requirements for starting a branch and for the foreign-based company before you register a branch.

Forms

Use our forms for registering your business or changing your information.

Fees

We charge for registrations and changes to our registers. For more information on the amounts charged see:
