The Establishment Process

Establishing in the Gothenburg region

Establishing a new company in the Gothenburg Region is a simple and inexpensive procedure. There are no special constraints on the activities of foreign-owned businesses in Sweden, no stamp duties and no restrictions on currency transfers into or out of the country.

Experience show that the time it takes to establish operations varies a lot from case

to case, but the average time for a foreign-owned company setting up a local office is approximately six months.

Business Region Göteborg

Since most companies decide to handle most or all of the establishment process onsite in the region, they often have a great need for external assistance at the location. Many have engaged external help from sources such as Invest Sweden and Business Region Göteborg.

Our services to foreign owned companies are all free of charge and include:

  • Simplifying contacts with local authorities and other organisations
  • Identifying available land and premises
  • Dealing with the practical aspects of setting up a business
  • Identifying the support that is available for business development
  • Establishing business contacts both in Sweden and further afield
