Sole traders
Sole trade is the simplest business structure in Sweden. It's basically a permit for the owner to carry out business activities in their name, but with unlimited personal responsibility. Therefore, there's no distinction between the owner's private finances and the business's finances in a sole trader. Setting up a sole trader is free of charge and requires no more than the owner to register for F-tax (business tax). There are also lower administrative requirements for sole traders, which is why it can be suitable for smaller businesses. Since the owner is personally liable for the business's debts, the owner is automatically privately responsible for the debt in the event that a sole trader takes out a business loan. Since private and business finances are not separated for a sole trader, personal finances will affect how big of a business loan a sole trader can receive.
