Svensk Faktakontroll

What Svensk Faktakontroll does

Svensk Faktakontroll AB is a Stockholm-based, privately held business information services company and the flagship product of parent Aktiebolaget Svensk Affärsinformation. It collects, quality-assures, and refines facts from public Swedish data sources, delivering a horizontally-segmented information platform aimed at business professionals and compliance/regulatory users who need due diligence, competitive intelligence, sales lead research, and verification of individuals' financial background. The company's core asset is a redaktionellt framtagen (editorially produced) database that operates under a publishing license (utgivningsbevis) granted by Mediemyndigheten and with support from Yttrandefrihetsgrundlagen (YGL), giving it GDPR Article 85 exemptions equivalent to newspaper and TV-program content. Differentiation rests on journalism-grade editorial curation, comprehensive historical information, single-view connection mapping (Kopplingsöversikt), a unique anonymous income and payment-remark verification capability (Anonym inkomstvisning), and a monitoring/alert function (Bevakningsfunktion) with optional watchlist import.

The commercial offering is structured in three tiers: a free trial (Prova på), a standard single-user subscription at 15,000 SEK/year sold directly via the website, and an enterprise team subscription (Större team) with volume discounts, tailored customizations, and dedicated account management. Credit reports are resold through a pass-through integration with Safenode AB, which holds a separate credit information license from Integritetsskyddsmyndigheten. Distribution is hybrid: self-serve for SMB/single users and sales-assisted for larger teams, complemented by free trials and personalized demos. The company has no disclosed funding rounds, no AI/ML capabilities in evidence, and serves only the Swedish market, leveraging the parent's existing distribution network across Stockholm, Göteborg, and Linköping (~30 employees in total at the parent level).
