After three consecutive years of declining numbers, 61,000 new companies were started across the country, an increase of 6 percent compared to 2024, according to figures produced by the company Spiris from the Swedish Companies Registration Office.
The number of new companies was also the lowest since 2013.
"Even if developments are going in the right direction, it is too early to breathe a sigh of relief. Many entrepreneurs are still affected by uncertainty in the world around them, high costs and complicated regulations," says Boo Gunnarson, business expert for Spiris, in a press release.
