Verified professionals in Malmö: how to know a company is legitimate
How to check F-skatt, insurance and certification before letting anyone into your home, and how HemmaPro does the checking for you in Malmö and Skåne.
Malmö has one of Sweden's most active trades markets, from established family firms in Limhamn to new one-person companies in Rosengård and Hyllie. The vast majority are legitimate. The problem is that you cannot tell from the outside, and you are the one holding the bill if something goes wrong.
Four checks you should always make
Feels awkward to ask? A legitimate company answers all four without irritation. The reaction to the question is itself an answer.
- F-skatt: verify the company registration number with Skatteverket.
- Liability insurance: ask for the insurer and validity period.
- Certification: electrical work requires a company registered with Elsäkerhetsverket.
- References: ask for two completed jobs of the same type nearby.

ROT and RUT in Malmö
A large share of jobs in Malmö and the rest of Skåne qualify for tax deductions. The company must hold F-skatt for you to use ROT or RUT, which is another reason never to hire off the books. The deduction is normally applied directly on the invoice so you pay only the net amount.
If something still goes wrong
Keep all communication in writing. With the conversation stored in the app you can show exactly what was promised, which in practice settles most disputes long before they become formal complaints.
