Frequently asked questions about financing
The most common way to finance a business start-up is through your own funds. However, many businesses are also launched with capital contributed by business associates or by family and friends, who may either provide funding or become part-owners of the company.
Public funding, venture capital, business angels, crowdfunding, or other forms of financing may also be relevant.
There are no general grants for business start-ups. In certain cases, if you are unemployed (or at risk of becoming unemployed), you may apply for a "Business Start-up" grant from the Swedish Public Employment Service.
You can find more information about different ways to finance your business start-up under Financing and support.
