Closing a branch
When a branch ceases to operate, it must be deregistered with the Swedish Companies Registration Office. You also need to contact the Swedish Tax Agency before deregistering the branch.
When must a branch be deregistered?
The branch must be deregistered if the foreign company that owns the branch
- is placed in liquidation
- goes into bankruptcy
- ceases its activities
- decides that operations in Sweden shall cease.
The branch's managing director or deputy managing director must notify the deregistration.
