is represented by a Board, consisting of one or more members of the anion. A
member of the Board must be a Swedish or Norwegian subject resident in Sweden.
Special stipulations are in force concerning such associations with personally
responsible members. (Law about registered associations for economical activity, of
Jane 28, 1895).
Besides, people of the same trade or different ones have a right to decide
for themselves whether to form and constitute an association for their trade
concerns and, when regulations have been established for such an association, to
get them sanctioned by a public authority. (Ordinance about liberty of trade,
§§ 13 and 14).
Register of Trade.
Swedish legislation requires the entering on special lists, kept with
some public authority, of the name under which tradesmen, private
persons, or companies intend to carry on their business, and which they in
signatures concerning it mean to write, or what is termed firm. Such
a list, called register of trade, is kept in Stockholm at the office of the
High Governor, in other towns with the magistracy or town government,
and for the province with the Governor of the Län.
To be entered upon the register of trade is compulsory for any one who
wishes to carry on commerce or trade the following of which involves the duty
of keeping business books. From the obligation of declaring this intention are
exempt: owners and fitters-out of ships, who are subject to a special registration
duty for their vessels; joint-stock companies, who have to give notice to the central
joint-stock company register; associations for economical activity, which, when bound
to be registered, give notice to special, local association registers; as well as
private banks of issue. Partnerships can be entered on the register of trade and
are then on a par with commercial companies.
The firm of a private tradesman is to contain his family name, with or
without his Christian name, and in the firm nothing must be entered intimating
its being possessed by a company or an association.
The firm of a commercial company, when all the co-partners are not
mentioned by name in it, must contain the name of one among them with an addition
implying that there are several associates.
The declaration is to be made in writing before the carrying on of the trade
has begun (Law about register of trade, firm and procuracy, of July 13, 1887,
with alterations of June 28, 1895; Royal proclamation about keeping a register
of trade etc., of Nov. 4, 1887, with alterations).
The joint-stock company register is kept by the Patent and Registry office,
and declaration to this register is compulsory for all joint-stock companies.
Banking, railway, and insurance companies are registered where the memorandum
of association has been sanctioned; other companies ought to declare for being
registered immediately after the memorandum is accepted. (Law about joint-stock
companies, registering of banking companies, and joint-stock insurance companies,
of June 28, 1895; Law containing special stipulations for railway companies, of
March 5, 1897; Royal proclamation about the keeping of a joint-stock company
register etc., of May 18, 1896; Royal proclamation about duties to be observed by
joint-stock companies whose plan has been sanctioned by the Government,
concerning their being entered upon the joint-stock company register, of May 18, 1896).
