Distress flags
Filed with a public registryVarsel notices, Kronofogden records, late filings, going-concern notes. What was filed, not a prediction.
- 2026-08-18 No live Swedish company is registered under this name, checked against Bolagsverket's bulk file on 2026-08-18 including the "Sweden", "Sverige", "Nordic" and "Scandinavia" variants. That is why it has no organisation number: there is nothing to match, rather than a match we missed. It may still be registered under a legal name that does not resemble its brand, so a later find simply replaces this.
Headquartered outside Sweden
Filed with a public registryOwnership, not a warning. Pay holds up at foreign-owned firms. What moves abroad is where the roadmap is decided.

Hiring practicalities
Read from their job ads- Open roles0 open0 roles, sourced from the company's own Teamtailor board.
- Working languageSwedish siteI hold no job-ad text for this company, so this is read from their own site: their website declares itself Swedish. That is a proxy, not a statement about the working language. Checked against the 222 companies where I have both, it agrees about 9 times in 10, and the way it fails is a company running an English site while hiring only in Swedish.
