Companies offering financial services in Sweden are required to apply for a licence issued by FI in order to operate a business. In a licence application, we review the company's capital situation, business plan, owners and corporate management, among other things. The company's operating activities may require additional licences from FI.
This is how FI processes your application
- An application is filed with us and receives a registration number.
- An administrator becomes responsible for the matter and you receive an acknowledgement (written or oral) that FI has received your application.
- When the application fee has been paid, the administrator reviews the application to see whether it is complete.
- If anything is missing, we request that you submit supplementary information. We must sometimes obtain information from other authorities.
- Additional FI officials with different qualifications may be involved in our assessment.
- When the application is complete, we make a decision on the matter. A copy of the decision is then sent to you. All information regarding the matter is saved and registered.
FI's service commitment
- We make every effort to process your matter within the specified time. This requires that your application is correct and complete and that the application fee has been paid.
- Your matter will be assigned to an administrator within one week after FI has received your application.
- We will acknowledge that we have received your application within two weeks after it has been sent to us.
You are welcome to submit comments on our service and information. If your matter is not processed within the appointed time, you have the right to receive an explanation.
