Real principal

Community associations must notify the real principal to the Swedish Companies Registration Office. This means that you need to find out if you have a real principal in your association and report it on the Swedish Companies Registration Office's website.

A real principal is the person or persons who ultimately own or control, for example, a community association. Read more about the rules at bolagsverket.se

If the community association does not have a real principal or if it can not be determined, it must still be reported to the Swedish Companies Registration Office.

Report real principal

How to report a real principal:

  1. Watch film and read on bolagsverket.se
    Check which rules apply to community associations.
  2. Investigate who is the real principal
    Find out on whether the association has a real principal, and who or who it is in that case. Even the associations that do not have a real principal must report this to the Swedish Companies Registration Office.
  3. Register at bolagsverket.se
    Log in to the e-service and report the information.

How will the register be used?

By registering the information, you contribute to increasing transparency in society and you make money laundering and terrorist financing more difficult. In the register, for example, the financial police will be able to see who or what is behind a company or an association and thus detect and counter crime.
