Aktiebolag (literally "share company" or "stock company") is the Swedish term for "limited company" or "corporation". When used in company names, it is abbreviated "AB" (roughly equivalent to the abbreviations Ltd and PLC). The governmental authority responsible for registration of limited companies in Sweden is called Bolagsverket (the Swedish Companies Registration Office).

Swedish aktiebolag are divided into two categories: private limited companies and public limited companies. A public limited company (publikt aktiebolag) is legally denoted as "AB (publ)". It must have a minimum share capital of 500,000 Swedish kronor

For a private limited company (privat aktiebolag), the minimum share capital is 50,000 Swedish kronor. The company name of a private limited company may not contain the word ' publikt' (public) and the name of a public limited company may not contain the word 'privat' (private).
