What you get
One purchase, four files. Use the Word file to fill it in, the PDF to print and sign.
- Styrelsebeslut — Swedish · Word (.docx)
- Styrelsebeslut — Swedish · PDF
- Board Resolution — English · Word (.docx)
- Board Resolution — English · PDF
Both language versions are written for Swedish law. The English version is for board members, investors or auditors who do not read Swedish — it is a translation of the same document, not a different one.
What the document covers
| 1 · The company | Name, corporate identity number, registered office, chair and the size of the board. |
|---|---|
| 2 · The meeting | Date, place or meeting format, who attended and who kept the minutes. |
| 3 · Resolution | Seven pre-drafted matters to mark or delete — appointing a managing director, authorising signatories, approving an agreement or a loan, opening an account, convening a general meeting, proposing a dividend — plus the resolution in brief. |
| 4 · Quorum and conflicts of interest | The four findings the board makes before it decides, and a field for a declared conflict. This is the part a bank or a buyer looks at first. |
| 5 · Form of decision | Taken at the meeting, or per capsulam with every member approving in writing. |
| 6 · Validity | Date of the resolution and when it takes effect, with a default rule if you leave it open. |
| 7 · Dissent and implementation | How a dissenting member records it, and who is authorised to carry the resolution out. |
| 8 · Registration and notification | What goes to Bolagsverket, who files it, the certified copy to attach and the registration certificate to keep. |
| 9 · Minutes | Entered in the board’s minutes with a running number, or standing as minutes in its own right. |
| 10 · Safekeeping | Minutes number and who keeps them. |
| 11 · Appendices | Five prepared appendices — full wording, dissenting opinions, the material behind the decision, the attendance list and the articles of association. |
| 12 · Verification | Signature blocks for the chair and the verifiers. |
When the template is not enough
Four situations where you should speak to a lawyer before using it:
- The resolution has to be registered with Bolagsverket or notified to another authority
- A board member may have a conflict of interest under Chapter 8, Section 23 of the Companies Act
- The resolution concerns a transfer of value, a loan to a related party or the company’s own shares
- The board is not fully constituted, or a member has resigned
How it works
- Buy — pay by card. No account needed.
- Download — all four files appear on the confirmation page and in your receipt email.
- Fill it in — open the Word file, complete the fields, mark the points that apply and delete the rest. The wording of the resolution goes in Appendix 1.

Frequently asked questions
Do I get it in both Swedish and English?
Yes. Every purchase includes both language versions, in Word and PDF. You do not choose a language at checkout.
Can I edit it?
Yes. The Word file is editable and built to be adapted — fields to fill in, points to mark or delete, and space for your own wording.
Can I use it more than once?
Yes, within your own organisation. The licence covers your company’s own use — it does not cover reselling or distributing the document.
What if the document is updated?
When we publish a new version it replaces the file on your account. Your download link always gives you the current version.
Is this legal advice?
No. This is a template. It must be adapted to your circumstances and should be reviewed by a lawyer before it is used. If you want that review, we are here.
