The Swedish authorities are now threatening to forcibly dissolve the Swedish branch of Fisker Inc. The threat is due to Fisker's very small board.
Swedish drivers cannot lease a car from Fisker Inc.
This is because the company Fisker Sweden AB has a very small board. And that leasing companies may not do business with companies whose board consists of only two people.
Fisker's board of directors for the Swedish part of the business consists of three people. Namely Henrik Fisker and his wife and marketing manager Christian Marti.
But since none of them live or have an address in Sweden, they are not valid under Swedish law. And this has caused the Swedish authority Bolagsverket to announce a dissolution of the company.
