The history of Standardbolag
Lawyer Gustaf Bertil Ihrman, the founder of Svenska Standardbolag AB, operated comprehensive legal services during the years of 1921–1953 and had his office in the "Ihrman villa" in Falun.
After the war, there was less work in his business, and Ihrman tried to find a new focus of his business. He wanted it to be related to his marketing studies at "Columbia University School of Business" in New York 1921.
In the year of 1944, after the new limited company law was taken, Ihrman saw an opportunity to realize his idea of off-the-shelf companies.
At his summer residence on Öland the idea took on final form. Standardization of company formation, fixed prizes and qualified service were included in the complete "company package".
Operation was conducted through S-bolagen AB until 1954, when the company Svenska Standardbolag AB was formed.
Development was progressing rapidly. In 1964 the company had 11 employees, offices covering the entire lower floor of the Ihrman Villa in Falun and a rented office in Stockholm.
The artist Stig Sonesson, Stockholm, was the company´s PR-man during G B Ihrmans time. He created the scroll, which is still used in some prints.
The newsletter "S bolag-nytt" was sent out to our agents to convey news about and for limited companies.
In 1970 the banker Olof Brovall and the accountant Sören Thunström succeeded G B Ihrman, who was retiring from old age. The company has, during the years, evolved into Swedens leading company in limited company services.
Executive director of Svenska Standardbolag today is Erik Berggren. The company has offices in Falun, Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö. The number of employees has increased to around 30.
