Sweden has a strong stable economy strongly oriented towards foreign trade. The country’s geographical location helps to attract international investors, providing access to new territorial markets. Political neutrality has made Sweden secure and its dedication to the welfare state gives the country a high quality of living. Tax rates are high as a result however, so expert tax planning is advised.

[toggle title=”Regulatory Environment”]

The labour market in Sweden is strictly regulated and there is a myriad of legalities to comply with when making corporate decisions or drawing up employee contracts. Local legal advice is recommended to ensure compliance with these regulations. In contrast company formation is relaxed, with few controls over foreign ownership or business operations and no restrictions on remitting profits abroad.

[toggle title=”Banking Facilities and Financial Incentives”]

Swedish banking is advanced, with various international and local banks providing a comprehensive range of business banking facilities. Opening a local bank account must be completed during incorporation but the procedures can be complicated.

Although there are no specific financial incentives available for foreign investors, there are interest-free loans in certain regional development zones, and tax reductions may also be extended for companies needing to recruit specialist personnel from abroad.

[toggle title=”Staff Recruitment”]

Education is key in the Swedish workforce, being the third best-educated workforce in the world. This is a major aspect of foreign investment into Sweden. The unemployment rate is high despite this however, so there is plenty of skilled staff to recruit. Local recruitment agencies will advise you on how best to find the right staff for your business.
