Sweden Company & Beneficial Ownership Directory
Sweden company register data sits with Bolagsverket (the Swedish Companies Registration Office), which holds the general corporate register publicly, while each company's own share register, the aktiebok, stays with the company itself rather than being centrally filed. Beneficial ownership is tracked separately on the Register över verkliga huvudmän (Register of Beneficial Owners), also run by Bolagsverket, in force since 1 August 2017 under a law transposing the EU's anti-money-laundering directive, at a threshold above 25% ownership or control, or the right to appoint or remove more than half the board. Through Bolagsverket.
