Swedish Legal and Business Translation for Swedish Companies and Projects in Georgia

Registering a Georgian company with Swedish founders

A Swedish aktiebolag founding a Georgian subsidiary, branch or representative office submits a Georgian translation of its registreringsbevis from Bolagsverket, its bolagsordning, the styrelseprotokoll or bolagsstämmoprotokoll approving the Georgian entity, and a fullmakt if a local representative files; all are apostilled by a notarius publicus and notarized in Tbilisi. Individual Swedish founders submit a translated passport. We draft the Georgian charter bilingually with a parallel Swedish or English column so the founder signs a text they can read, and we know the wording the National Agency of Public Registry expects for aktiekapital, styrelse and säte. After registration, the Georgian Public Registry extract and charter are translated into Swedish or English for the parent, its bank and its revisor. Georgians registering Swedish aktiebolag or enskild firma for EU business use our translations of their Georgian documents for Bolagsverket and Skatteverket.

Avtal between Swedish and Georgian parties

Georgian law permits contracts in any language, but the Georgian version is what a registry or court reads, so cross-border contracts are drafted bilingually in parallel columns, often with English as the working language and Swedish and Georgian as the legal ones. We translate köpeavtal for property and equipment, hyresavtal, anställningsavtal for Swedish staff seconded to Georgia and Georgian workers recruited to Sweden, leverans- and distributionsavtal, konsultavtal for Sida-funded work, aktieägaravtal, låneavtal and borgen, sekretessavtal and franchiseavtal for Swedish brands in Tbilisi. The translator is a legal specialist who keeps defined terms and numbering consistent and flags where a Swedish concept - äganderättsförbehåll, vite, certain forms of garanti, the roles of styrelse and VD under the Aktiebolagslag - needs a lawyer's decision on the Georgian equivalent rather than a translator's guess.

Sida programs, development contracts and project documentation

Sweden's development cooperation with Georgia produces a distinct body of documents: agreements between Sida and Georgian ministries or municipalities, contracts between Sida and implementing agencies and consultancies, grant agreements with civil society organizations, procurement under Swedish and EU rules, results frameworks, progress and final reports, audits and evaluations, and handover protocols. We translate these between Swedish, Georgian and English with translators familiar with development terminology and with the Georgian public sector, we provide interpreters for the meetings that generate them, and we maintain project glossaries and translation memories across multi-year programs so that a results framework reads the same in year five as in year one.

Court judgments, arbitration and enforcement

Swedish judgments in family, commercial and succession matters are recognized and enforced in Georgia through proceedings requiring notarized Georgian translations of the dom, the lagakraftbevis and supporting documents, all apostilled. Georgian judgments and notarized loan deeds go the other way for verkställighet through Kronofogden, translated into Swedish by an auktoriserad translator and apostilled. Arbitration under the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce (SCC), which is a frequent choice in contracts involving the region, the ICC or the Georgian International Arbitration Centre produces bilingual submissions, witness statements, expert reports and awards which we translate under procedural deadlines. Bouppteckning files - Swedish estate inventories and testamenten concerning Georgian property, and Georgian inheritance certificates for Swedish estates - are handled by the same team. Litigation files are handled under NDA with restricted access.

Årsredovisningar, revision and tax documents

Georgian subsidiaries of Swedish groups report to head office under K3 or IFRS, and Swedish investors present accounts to Georgian banks and the Revenue Service. We translate årsredovisningar, balansräkningar and resultaträkningar, förvaltningsberättelser, revisionsberättelser, hemvistintyg from Skatteverket for treaty relief under the Sweden-Georgia double taxation agreement, moms documents, transfer pricing documentation and bank confirmation letters. The translators on this team have accounting backgrounds, use Swedish and IFRS terminology consistently in both languages and reconcile the numbers in every table before delivery.

Tenders, customs, confidentiality and how projects run

Swedish companies bid on Georgian state tenders in telecoms, energy, transport and healthcare through the State Procurement Agency's Georgian-language system, submitting translated company documents, referenser, technical proposals and bank guarantees within days of the notice; we staff tender projects as a team. Trade generates ursprungsintyg, EUR.1 certificates, försäkran om överensstämmelse and CE documentation, tulldeklarationer, and phytosanitary and veterinary certificates for Georgian agricultural exports, all translated for exporters, importers and the Revenue Service customs department.

Every translator, editor and courier is bound by a non-disclosure agreement, files are encrypted and access is limited to the assigned team; we sign client-specific NDAs and GDPR-compliant personuppgiftsbiträdesavtal for Swedish clients. Corporate clients receive a glossary and translation memory from the first project. Projects run in a fixed pattern: fixed quote within the hour, a legal or financial specialist plus a reviewer, questions returned in a single batch, delivery in the original format, and notarization and apostille scheduled in parallel with translation. Framework agreements with monthly invoicing and priority notary slots are available for Swedish companies, Sida implementing partners and law firms serving Swedish clients.
