The Establishment Process
Photo: Peter Svensson
Establishing in the Göteborg Region
Establishing a new company in the Göteborg 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
