What it does

This Actor collects Swedish company records from Bolagsverket by company name or organization number, and returns each company as one flat row with its official registration details.

• 📦 Batch collection: set maxItems to pull up to 1,000,000 companies per run, one row per company

Troubleshooting

Why am I getting no results?

Check the query. Bolagsverket's search is exact on organization numbers and fairly strict on names. Try a shorter name, a different spelling, or the 10-digit organization number without spaces.

Why does my organization number not work?

Make sure the number has 10 digits. You can enter it with or without a dash, but it must be the full organization number, not a VAT number or a branch code.

Why did the run stop before reaching maxItems?

The Actor stops when Bolagsverket has no more matching companies for your query. If you expected more results, try a broader name or a different search term.

Why are some fields empty in my results?

Not every company has every field. For example, a sole trader may not have board members. Empty fields mean Bolagsverket does not list that data for the company.

Can I search for multiple companies at once?

The Actor takes one query per run. To process a list of names or organization numbers, run the Actor once per query, or use Apify's actor calling features to loop over a list.

Why is the run slow?

The Actor respects Bolagsverket's website and may wait between requests. If you are collecting many companies, the run will take longer. You can lower maxItems or run the Actor on a schedule.
