A trust firm in Sweden is a legal entity that acts as a fiduciary, agent or trustee on behalf of an individual or other organization for the purpose of administering, managing and transferring assets to a beneficiary party when necessary (particularly when it comes to an estate trust or assets). Such firms are structured as general partnerships and registered as regulated service providers under the local Anti-Money Trafficking Act. The activities of such organizations are carefully and strictly controlled; in particular, companies are required to obtain a trust license Sweden. Below we will look at the main nuances of establishing and licensing this type of commercial projects.

Our company offers professional Sweden trust services, as well as full consulting and practical support when launching and licensing businesses in any commercial area. We have many options of ready-made trusts for sale.

Trusts in Sweden: regulation, opening and features of obtaining a license

Sweden is quite often the choice of entrepreneurs when it comes to establishing a trust. Among other things, the fact that Sweden is a full member of the European Union and is highly respected in the jurisdiction makes this jurisdiction a fairly profitable and attractive option. It is much easier to establish relationships with banks, third party providers and other counterparties using a Swedish financial institution than a typical offshore financial institution. This is why a Swedish trust company managing trust assets abroad gives its owner respectability and prestige within the domestic business, as well as tax and privacy advantages abroad.

The Swedish economy as a whole is a mixed, export-oriented economy with a strong and strict profit distribution system, an excellent infrastructure and a highly skilled workforce. A privileged standard of living results from an economy that functions optimally thanks to open market policies that increase flexibility, competitiveness, transparency, and sufficiently large trade deals and foreign investment.

In many jurisdictions, obtaining a trust company license is as burdensome and difficult as obtaining a banking license. According to Sweden trust law, the local financial regulator Finansinspektionen does not supervise fiduciary management activities, so there are no separate requirements or specific regulations in this procedure, such as paid-in capital or standards regarding personnel qualifications. However, trust services are regulated from an AML perspective, which requires trust companies to be registered as regulated providers and have an internal supervisory authority to implement AML purposes. There are no restrictions on the type of assets that a trust company can manage. Anything that can be legally owned can also be held in trust. Assets may include, but are not limited to, the following.

  1. Cash deposits (no currency restrictions).
  2. Cryptocurrencies.
  3. Stock.
  4. Delegated financial obligations.
  5. Any type of securities.
  6. Consumer goods.
  7. Precious metals.
  8. Real estate.
