For most teams entering Sweden, an EOR is faster, cheaper and lower-risk than establishing a local entity.
| Sweden entity setup | Peak EOR | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | AB from SEK 25,000 share capital, plus ongoing accounting and compliance | No setup costs, transparent monthly pricing |
| Time to hire | Around 5-10 days to register, with full readiness taking weeks | 2-4 weeks, full compliance included |
| Ideal for | 10+ employees, permanent commitment, local board needs | Testing markets, 1-20 employees, flexibility needed |
Your upfront entity cost with Peak. Skip the SEK 25,000 AB share capital, company registration and the ongoing compliance overhead - with the freedom to scale up or down without complications.
We'll tell you when setting up your own entity makes more sense. Our goal is your success, not our commission.
Sweden has no statutory minimum wage - pay and many terms are set by collective agreement. We keep every contract, contribution and PAYE filing correct - so you don't have to track it.
