About EOR Sweden, 2026
Your Swedish hire,
employed by us
EOR Sweden is an employer of record service for firms outside Sweden. Your new hire is employed by us as employer of record; we issue the anställningsavtal, run payroll and report to Skatteverket. You set the work and we coordinate the rest.
A foreign firm hiring a single person in Sweden should not have to register an aktiebolag, learn the AGI calendar and study collective agreements first. EOR Sweden exists to remove that step.
Our story
A third route
Hiring a first employee in Sweden used to mean two poor options. One was to form an aktiebolag with SEK 25,000 share capital, register it at Bolagsverket and register as an employer with Skatteverket. The other was to engage a contractor on F-skatt and risk the work being treated as employment.
EOR Sweden offers a third route. We employ your hire on a written contract as employer of record, and we act as your single contact for the whole arrangement.

Coverage
