Data Sources

All company data is sourced from Bolagsverket (Swedish Companies Registration Office), the official government agency responsible for registering companies, partnerships, associations, and other legal entities in Sweden. Bolagsverket was established in 2004 when it took over registration duties from the Patent and Registration Office (PRV). For a given entity, data comes from a single source — there is no cross-registry merging. Two Bolagsverket API versions are used for different purposes:

Bolagsverket Foretagsinformation API v4 — The primary source for company profile data. This is a paid API that provides comprehensive structured data: company name, legal form, status, registration and incorporation dates, registered address, share capital, activity description, board members and officers (funktionarer), signing rules (firmateckning), financial reporting periods, and articles of association details. Used for the companyProfile data point.
Bolagsverket Vardefulla Datamangder API v1 — A free open data API providing basic company information. Used for search by registration number and for annual report document listings (dokumentlista endpoint). Returns: company name, legal form, address, registration date, and status indicators. Also provides the annual reports document listing for each company.
Bolagsverket Foretagsinfo Website API — The Bolagsverket public website (foretagsinfo.bolagsverket.se) exposes a product catalog API that lists available purchasable documents per company. This is used to determine which paid documents (trade register extract, articles of association, statutes, minutes, UBO extract, current assignments) are available for a given company and legal form.

Search by company name is retrieved from the official registry because the Bolagsverket name search functionality does not have a public REST API endpoint. Identifier-based searches use the v1 API directly.

Ultimate Beneficial Owners

UBO data is obtained by purchasing the UBO Extract (Registret over verkliga huvudman) document from Bolagsverket’s website, then parsing the PDF content with AI. Bolagsverket does not yet expose UBO data through a structured API endpoint.

Company Identifiers

Query Identifiers

Identifier Type	Format	Example	Notes
Organisationsnummer	10 digits (`NNNNNN-NNNN` or `NNNNNNNNNN`)	`5560125790` or `556012-5790`	Primary identifier. Hyphen is optional.
VAT number	`SE` + 12 digits	`SE556012579001`	Swedish VAT format: SE prefix + org number + two-digit suffix (usually `01`)

Organisationsnummer format rule: Digits 3-4 (the “month” position) must be >= 20 to distinguish organization numbers from personal numbers (personnummer). For example, 556012-5790 has “60” in positions 3-4, which is >= 20, confirming it is an organization number.

Identifiers in API Response

Identifier	Format	Example	Notes
`id`	10 digits (no hyphen)	`5560125790`	Always returned without hyphen
`registrationNumber`	10 digits	`5560125790`	Same as `id`

Search Capabilities

Search Type	Pattern	Example	Match Type	Expected Results
By Organisationsnummer	10 digits (with or without hyphen)	`5560125790` or `556012-5790`	Exact	Single company (1 result)
By VAT number	`SE` + 12 digits	`SE556012579001`	Exact	Single company (1 result)
By company name	Text string	`"Volvo"`	Contains	Multiple results

Identifier normalization: The search workflow automatically strips the SE prefix and trailing digits from VAT numbers, and removes hyphens from organization numbers before querying the Bolagsverket API.

Search uses both a live registry lookup and an official registry query. Identifier searches (organisationsnummer, VAT) query the Bolagsverket v1 API directly. Name searches query the official registry because no public name search API exists.

Quirks & Gotchas

Quirk	Details
No shareholders from Bolagsverket	Shareholder information is restricted to authorities and the company’s own shareholders. It is not available through any public API or document. The `shareholders` array is always empty.
UBO = control extent, not ownership	Bolagsverket reports control extent (Omfattning) for UBOs, not ownership percentage. Multiple UBOs can each show 100% control. This reflects influence over the company through shares, agreements, or intermediary entities — not economic stake.
All activity codes are AI-inferred	Sweden does not assign standard classification codes. The `verksamhetsbeskrivning` (activity description) is a free-text field in Swedish, and all ISIC/NACE codes are derived by AI. `isAIInferred` is always `true`.
Active = empty status array	An active company has an empty `organisationsstatusar` array from Bolagsverket. Any status entry means the company is inactive. This is the opposite of most registries which explicitly mark companies as active.
Status code system is complex	Bolagsverket uses dozens of numeric status codes across two categories: `AvregistreradOrganisationstyp` (struck off the register — codes 21, 31, 37, 41, 51, 53, 60-64, 70, 73, 74, 91, 98) and `AvvecklingsOmstruktureringsforfarande` (ongoing settlement/restructuring — codes 11, 20, 32, 45, 49, 75, 80, 85, 90, 91, 96).
All documents are in Swedish	All documents from Bolagsverket (annual reports, trade register extracts, articles of association, UBO extract, etc.) are written in Swedish. English certificates require login and are not available programmatically.
Annual reports: API vs purchasable	Annual reports come from two sources: (1) free individual filings via the v1 API dokumentlista endpoint (ZIP format containing original filing), and (2) a paid compilation of all years from the website (single PDF).
Legal form is AI-enriched	Local Swedish legal forms are deterministically mapped to English translations via a static codelist. However, the `standardized` form and `iso20275Code` are AI-enriched.
Share capital in SEK only	Share capital for AB companies is always denominated in Swedish Kronor (SEK).
Purchasable documents vary by legal form	The available purchasable documents depend on the company’s legal form code. For example, “Articles of Association” (Bolagsordning) applies to AB companies, while “Statutes” (Stadgar) applies to associations.
Document purchase requires payment flow	Purchasable documents involve a 5-step process: temporary inbox creation, website payment, document download, PDF extraction from ZIP, and invoice forwarding. Delivery takes approximately 5 minutes.

Mappings

Company Status

Status is determined deterministically from the Bolagsverket register. An empty organisationsstatusar array means the company is active. Any status entry triggers mapping through the status code system.

Active Status

Local Status	English Translation	Standardized Status
Aktiv	Active	`ACTIVE`

“Aktiv” is not returned by the API — it is inferred from the absence of any status entries. When organisationsstatusar is empty or undefined, the company is considered active.

Legal Forms

The local legal form (organisationsform.klartext) is preserved from Bolagsverket and deterministically mapped to an English translation. The standardized form and iso20275Code are AI-enriched.

Bolagsverket maintains approximately 30 standardized legal form codes. The iso20275Code is AI-enriched and available for common forms like AB (XJHM), HB (BEAY), and EK (C61P). Additional legacy forms may appear in historical records. The API preserves the localName exactly as returned by Bolagsverket.

Legal Representatives

These roles have statutory authority to bind the company and are classified as legal representatives. Role codes are from the official Bolagsverket funktionarsroller codelist. Roles are deterministically mapped to English translations; the iso5009Code is AI-enriched.

Code	Swedish Name	English Translation	Standardized
OF	Styrelseordforande	Chairman	`Chairman`
VD	Verkstallande direktor	CEO	`CEO`
LE	Styrelseledamot	Board Member	`Board Member`
SU	Styrelsesuppleant	Deputy Board Member	`Board Member`
SUPP	Suppleant	Deputy Board Member	`Board Member`

Role priority: When a person holds multiple roles, the system applies a priority: OF (Chairman) > VD (CEO) > LE (Board Member) > SU/SUPP (Deputy). Only the highest-priority role is assigned as the legal representative role for that person.

Other Key Persons

All other officer roles (funktionarer) are classified as other key persons. Both individuals and corporate entities can hold these roles (e.g., an auditing firm as auditor). Role codes are standardized by Bolagsverket.

Executive Management Roles

Code	Swedish Name	English Translation	Standardized
EVD	Verkstallande direktor	Chief Executive Officer	`CLevelExecutive`
VVD	Vice verkstallande direktor	Vice CEO	`CLevelExecutive`

AK	Aktuarie	Actuary	`Secretary`
ARB	Arbetstagarrepresentant	Employee Representative	`Supervisor`
FTR	Forsakringstagarrepresentant	Policyholder Representative	`Supervisor`

A person or entity can hold multiple roles simultaneously. For legal representatives, the highest-priority role is selected. For other key persons, each non-legal-representative role is listed separately. When an organization holds a role (e.g., an auditing firm), its representative person is also listed with the suffix “(Representative)”.

Shareholders

Bolagsverket does not provide shareholder information through any public API or document. Shareholder data is restricted to authorities and the company’s own shareholders. The shareholders array is always empty.

Activity Code Mapping

Sweden does not use a national activity code classification in the Bolagsverket registry. Instead, companies register a free-text verksamhetsbeskrivning (activity description) in Swedish. The system uses AI enrichment to derive standardized activity codes:

Verksamhetsbeskrivning (Swedish free text) --> AI --> ISIC Rev. 4 + NACE Rev. 2

Classification	Source	Example	AI Inferred?
Activity description	Bolagsverket (`verksamhetsbeskrivning`)	“Utveckling och forsaljning av programvara”	No (official)
ISIC	AI-derived from activity description	`6201` - Computer programming activities	Yes (always)
NACE	AI-derived from activity description	`62.01` - Computer programming activities	Yes (always)

All ISIC and NACE codes for Sweden are AI-inferred because Bolagsverket does not assign standard classification codes. The AI derives codes from the Swedish-language activity description text. The isAIInferred flag is always true for Swedish activity codes.

Historical Certificates (HISTBEV) and English Certificates (ENGINTYG) require authenticated login to Bolagsverket and are not available programmatically. The available purchasable documents vary by legal form — the system automatically queries the correct document catalog based on the company’s legal form code.

Purchasable documents involve real payment. Each document purchase triggers a payment flow through Bolagsverket’s website. Document delivery takes approximately 5 minutes due to the payment, download, and processing steps.

  ]
}

Note: UBO data is AI-extracted from the purchased UBO Extract document. The Swedish field “Omfattning” (extent) represents control extent, not ownership percentage. Multiple UBOs can each show 100% because they each have a control path giving full influence over the company. The percentageValue field is not populated because the Swedish register reports control extent, not economic ownership stake.
