How to use our e-service Application for Growth Support

How to log in to the e-service

When you click on the link to the e-service, a login page opens. Select your chosen form of Swedish eID, then identify yourself. (The e-service does not currently support foreign eID.)

Select the business you wish to represent

If you’re an authorised business representative, you must select the party you wish to represent for the current session.

Select a business or individual from the list or type the name of the relevant party in the search field.

If you haven’t applied to represent a business, you’ll be taken directly to the e-service.

The e-service start page

On the start page, you can choose between various options to start the application process. Here you can also find information relating to any previous applications you’ve made.

Saved details

Under the heading “Sparade uppgifter” (“Saved details”), either one or two options will be available, depending on whether you have saved a draft or details relating to a previously submitted application. If you have not saved any details, this section will be empty.

“Utkast” (“Drafts”) are applications you have started for specific periods. You can save one or more drafts in the e-service, but only one for each period. Select a draft to continue with an application you have started for a particular reporting period.

If available, the option “Sparade uppgifter från tidigare ansökan” (“Saved details from last application submitted”) shows saved details from your most recently submitted application.

To continue with an application, click on the draft corresponding to the reporting period for which you want to apply for Growth Support:

“Fortsätt fyll i ansökan om Växa-stöd för [månad år]” (“Continue with your Growth Support application for [month year]”) “Det finns ett sparat utkast från [datum och tid]” (“A saved draft is available from [date and time]”)

To start a new application with prefilled details from your most recently submitted application, click:

“Använd sparade uppgifter från tidigare ansökan” (“Use details saved from previous application”)

“Det finns en sparad kopia från ansökan skickad [datum och tid]” (“A saved copy of the application submitted on [date and time] is available”)

Click on “Ta bort” (“Delete”) in the relevant row to delete a draft or saved details.

Applying for Growth Support

You can start making a completely new application if you like, or if no saved details are available.

To do this, click on “Ansök om växa-stöd” (“Apply for Growth Support”).

Previous applications

If the business has applied for Growth Support before, you can view the associated details under “Tidigare ansökningar” (“Previous applications”). The information in the table includes the reporting period to which the application relates, the submission date, and a download link for each application receipt. Click “Kvittens (PDF)” (“Receipt (PDF)”) to download the relevant application receipt.

Filling in your application

General information about filling in your application

• Not all e-service users can view every field. The fields shown are determined by the business type and application details provided previously. This guide covers every field that can be displayed in an application.
• All fields displayed are mandatory, apart from “Telefonummer” (“Telephone number”) in step 7, “Kontaktuppgifter för denna ansökan” (“Contact details for this application”).
• For certain fields, you can view a help text by clicking on the question mark icon. These help texts are in Swedish only and are not included in this guide.
• Information texts may also be displayed, depending on your response to certain questions. These explain the implications of your responses. These texts are not translated in this guide. There are two types of information texts:
  • Blue information box: These texts only provide explanatory information about the current question, and the implications of your intended response.
  • Orange information box: This is a warning that details will be deleted (if you choose not to save them for future applications), or that the business does not fulfil the Growth Support requirements. However, you can choose to proceed with submitting this application despite this warning.

Preliminary step: Selecting a reporting period

Here you choose the reporting period to which the application relates.

• Select “år och månad” (“year and month”) in the field marked “Vilken period avser ansökan?” (“Which period does the application relate to?”)
  Choose the year and month for which the business paid employee compensation and now wants to apply for Growth Support.

If no draft is available for the selected period, and no details have been saved from a previously submitted application, there are no further choices for you to make.

If a draft is available for the selected period and/or saved details from a previously submitted application, you will be asked to choose between either two or three options (depending on which details have been saved).

Choose one of the following options:

• “Jag vill fortsätta med utkastet för [datum och tid]” (“I want to continue with the draft from [date and time]”.
• “Jag vill använda de uppgifter jag sparade när jag skickade in den senaste ansökan [datum och tid]” (“I want to use the details saved from my most recently submitted application [date and time]”).
• “Jag vill börja om från början och fylla i en ny ansökan” (“I want to start again and create a new application”). (If you choose this option, an orange box appears, warning you that saved details from a previously submitted application, and any draft for the selected period, will be deleted.)
