Companies are registered and maintained with Bolagsverket. A limited company (aktiebolag) needs a minimum share capital, a board, and an annual report filed with Bolagsverket after the financial year; smaller companies may be exempt from the audit requirement. Bolagsverket also maintains the register of beneficial owners, which is a separate filing obligation from the annual report and applies to most legal entities.
