Special Service Recipient Becomes Important When Swedish Owners Move Abroad

More and more Swedish entrepreneurs choose to move abroad, but keep their Swedish limited company. This can work well, but there are certain practical and legal issues that need to be resolved.

One of the most important is the question of a special service recipient. Many first think of tax, change of address, and banking matters. But it is also important to ensure that the company can receive service in Sweden correctly.

When does the need arise?

If a person representing the company is no longer resident in Sweden, the company may in some cases need to register a special service recipient. This means that there is a person in Sweden who is registered to receive important mail and service on behalf of the company. This is not an unusual situation. On the contrary, the need often arises when a Swedish owner moves abroad but wants to continue running their Swedish company. Having a special service recipient in place can reduce the risk that important information from authorities does not reach them in time. This may involve decisions, demands, notifications, or other mail that must be received and handled correctly. For many companies, this is a small but important part of keeping the company in order. It is also something that is much easier to resolve in advance than to have to correct afterwards. We help companies that need to register a special service recipient in Sweden.
