Time for the annual general meeting
It is now peak season for annual general meetings for limited companies. This is when decisions about changes to the business are often made. Here, we have gathered the most important things you need to know before the meeting and what you need to do afterwards.
Prepare the annual report
When the financial year has ended, you must prepare the company’s annual report together with any required attachments. The board approves the annual report at a board meeting and signs it. Remember that each signature must be dated.

What is decided at the annual general meeting
At the AGM, the shareholders decide, among other things, whether to adopt the profit and loss account and the balance sheet. Once the meeting has been held, you can submit the annual report to the Swedish Companies Registration Office. The easiest way to do this is digitally.

Can an AGM be held digitally?
Normally, the AGM must be held in the locality where the board has its registered office. However, the company may include a provision in its articles of association allowing the meeting to be held in another location in Sweden. It is also possible to hold the AGM digitally or allow digital participation, but this must be supported by the articles of association.
