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). The company datapoint also checks the Swedish VAT number against VIES (EU VAT Information Exchange System) and adds the verified tax ID to the company. Three Bolagsverket services are used:

Company register — Company name, legal form, status, registration and incorporation dates, registered address, share capital, activity description, and officers (funktionarer). Used for company, legalRepresentatives and otherKeyPersons.
Open data — Basic company information used for search by identifier, and the digitally filed annual reports. The annual reports are listed under financialStatements and are what the shareholders datapoint reads.
Document ordering service — The certified trade register extract, articles of association, statutes, minutes, UBO extract, assignment certificates, and the annual report compilation. Which documents can be ordered depends on the company’s legal form.

Ultimate Beneficial Owners

UBO data is extracted by AI from the UBO Extract (Registret over verkliga huvudman) document ordered from Bolagsverket. Bolagsverket does not publish UBO data in a structured form.

Company Identifiers

company.identifiers.euid is an optional European Unique Identifier. Domestic aktiebolag (AB) with an organisation number. Personal identity numbers are excluded. Example: SEBOLREG.5560360793. It is returned as an output identifier and cannot be used as a search input. See EUID coverage and interpretation.

Query Identifiers

Identifier Type	Format	Example	Notes
Organisationsnummer	10 digits (`NNNNNN-NNNN` or `NNNNNNNNNN`), third digit 2 or higher, last digit a Luhn check digit	`5560125790` or `556012-5790`	Primary identifier for companies. Hyphen is optional.
Personnummer	12 digits (`YYYYMMDDNNNN` or `YYYYMMDD-NNNN`)	`196405250314` or `19640525-0314`	Used by sole traders (enskild firma). Issued by Skatteverket. Hyphen is optional.
VAT number	`SE` + 12 digits	`SE556012579001`	Search only (not accepted by `/v2/company`). Company VAT numbers only: SE + organisationsnummer + `01`. For a sole trader, search with the 12-digit personnummer.

Organisationsnummer vs personnummer: Organisation numbers have digits 3-4 (the “month” position) >= 20, distinguishing them from personnummers where those digits are 01-12 (a real birth month). For example, 556012-5790 has “60” in positions 3-4 — an organisation number. 196405250314 has “64” — a personnummer. The search request handles both automatically.

Identifiers in API Response

Identifier	Format	Example	Notes
`id`	10 or 12 digits (no hyphen)	`5560125790`	For companies: 10 digits. For sole traders: 12-digit personnummer.
`organizationNumber`	10 digits	`5560125790`	Returned for companies only.
`personalIdentityNumber`	12 digits	`196405250314`	Returned for sole traders instead of `organizationNumber`.
`VAT`	12 digits (no `SE` prefix)	`556012579001`	Companies: organisationsnummer + `01`. Sole traders: century-stripped personnummer (10 digits) + `01`.

Legal Entity Identifier (LEI)

GLEIF is the supplementary data source for this identifier. company.identifiers.lei is optional. It is returned when the organisation number (organizationNumber) matches exactly one LEI through a GLEIF registration or validation reference. The Legal Entity Identifier has 20 uppercase alphanumeric characters, ending in two check digits. Coverage varies by entity. An absent lei does not prove that the company has no LEI. Lapsed, retired or merged LEIs may be returned; annulled LEIs are excluded.

Search Capabilities

Search Type	Pattern	Example	Match Type	Expected Results
By Organisationsnummer	10 digits (with or without hyphen)	`5560125790` or `556012-5790`	Exact	Exact match returned first (matchType: id); other results may follow
By Personnummer	12 digits (with or without hyphen)	`196405250314` or `19640525-0314`	Exact	Exact match returned first (matchType: id); other results may follow

By company name	Text string	`"Volvo"`	Contains	Multiple results

Identifier normalization: The search request reads the organisationsnummer out of a company VAT number (the 10 digits between SE and the trailing 01), removes hyphens from organisation numbers and personnummers, and detects sole traders automatically by the personnummer format (12 digits, birth-month digits 01-12 in positions 3-4). A sole trader’s VAT number does not resolve, because it carries only 10 of the personnummer’s 12 digits: search with the full personnummer instead.

Active companies only

Search can return companies that are no longer active. activeOnly=true removes those whose status is known at search time; the others are kept. Registration-number lookups drop companies that have been struck off the register; name searches return companies whatever their status.

Quirks & Gotchas

Quirk	Details
Sole traders use personnummer as identifier	Sole traders (enskild firma) are registered at Bolagsverket with their personal identity number (personnummer, 12 digits YYYYMMDDNNNN) instead of an organisationsnummer. Pass the personnummer directly as the identifier. The response returns `personalIdentityNumber` in `identifiers` and omits company-specific fields like share capital and board members.
Natural persons return `notFound` on company profile	A personnummer that belongs to a natural person with no registered business at Bolagsverket returns `resource_not_found` on the `company` datapoint. This is distinct from a registered sole trader (enskild firma) with the same personnummer format but an active Bolagsverket registration. Natural persons can still have purchasable documents (current assignments, prohibition register, insolvency register).
Shareholders come from the annual report, when disclosed	Bolagsverket does not publish a share register: ownership is restricted to authorities and the company’s own shareholders. Some annual reports voluntarily disclose ownership in the ownership note, and that is what the `shareholders` datapoint reads. Disclosure is not required, so most companies return none. Sole traders (enskild firma) have no share capital at all, so the datapoint returns an explicit not-applicable response for them.
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: individual filings vs compilation	Annual reports come in two forms: (1) individual digitally filed reports, one per year (ZIP containing the original filing), and (2) a compilation of all years ordered from Bolagsverket (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.
Ordered documents are not instant	Certificates, articles of association, statutes, minutes, the UBO extract and the annual report compilation are ordered from Bolagsverket on request. Delivery usually takes about 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.

Bolagsverket maintains approximately 30 standardized legal form codes. The iso20275Code is AI-matched against the GLEIF ISO 20275 code list for every legal form. The codes shown are the Swedish entries on that list; a form marked - has no entry of its own. Additional legacy forms may appear in historical records. The API preserves the localName exactly as returned by Bolagsverket.

Legal Representatives

Registered office codes identify appointment context: the board represents collectively, the CEO within ordinary business, and registered signatories within their grant. No individual signing mode is inferred from a title. The published catalogue covers all 36 codes handled by this integration; a fresh complete current Bolagsverket codelist has not been verified. 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	`Chief Executive Officer`
LE	Styrelseledamot	Board Member	`Board Member`
VOF	Vice styrelseordförande	Vice Chairman	`Vice Chairman of the Board`
EVD	Verkställande direktör	Chief Executive Officer	`Chief Executive Officer`
EFT	Extern firmatecknare	External Signatory	`Authorized Signatory`
PO	Prokurist	Authorized Signatory	`Authorized Signatory`
BO (HB) / KP (KB)	Bolagsman / Komplementär	General Partner	`General Partner`

IN	Enskild näringsidkare	Sole Proprietor	`Owner` (only if a named functionary is supplied)
ARB (AB/Publ)	Arbetstagarrepresentant	Employee Board Representative	`Board Member`

Separate capacities: Each recorded office is retained. A deputy board member is an other key person unless a separate current signing appointment is also recorded; that separate appointment appears under legal representatives. A board appointment does not certify sole signing, and CEO authority is limited by applicable law.

Other Key Persons

Audit, contingent deputy and administrative appointments appear as other key persons. Unqualified form-dependent roles retain their filed labels with an appropriate context category. 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

ARB with unqualified form	Arbetstagarrepresentant	Employee Representative	`Supervisor`
FTR	Forsakringstagarrepresentant	Policyholder Representative	`Supervisor`

A person or entity can hold multiple roles simultaneously. Each recorded representative capacity is retained. 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 publish a share register. Ownership is restricted to authorities and the company’s own shareholders, so there is no register source for it. What the shareholders datapoint reads instead is the ownership note in the company’s annual report. Swedish companies are not required to disclose ownership there, so most return none. Names and holdings are extracted by AI from the filing, so verify against the source before relying on them for compliance. Sole traders (enskild firma) have no share capital, so the datapoint does not apply to them at all: it returns an explicit datapoint_not_applicable response. The owner’s personnummer is returned in company.identifiers; no separate person record is returned for the owner. See Sole Entrepreneurs & Non-Profits.

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. 5 + NACE Rev. 2.1

Classification	Source	Example	AI Inferred?
Activity description	Bolagsverket (`verksamhetsbeskrivning`)	“Utveckling och forsaljning av programvara”	No (official)
ISIC	AI-derived from activity description	`6219` - Other computer programming activities	Yes (always)
NACE	AI-derived from activity description	`62.10` - 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. The code derived from the verksamhetsbeskrivning is marked as the main activity (isMainActivity: true). It always carries isAIInferred: true, so it cannot be confused with a main activity assigned by Bolagsverket; a missing flag means the source did not designate a main activity.

Note: Sole traders return personalIdentityNumber in company.identifiers instead of organizationNumber. The id field holds the 12-digit personnummer. No separate person record is returned for the owner, so legalRepresentatives and otherKeyPersons are empty. Share capital, board members, and signing rules are not present because they do not apply to sole proprietorships.

Note: Economic associations (Ekonomisk forening) use “Statutes” (Stadgar) instead of “Articles of Association” (Bolagsordning). When in liquidation, the liquidator appears as an other key person.

        "description": "Control extent: 100%. Type of control: through other companies or associations. Control exercised through: Nordisk Holding AB."
      }
    }
  ]
}

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