About us

WHY DID WE CREATE BAC AGENCY?

There are numerous challenges expats face when moving to a new country: complexities of settling down, securing insurance, navigating the healthcare system, finding a place to live and much more. Expats often encounter a vast array of information from multiple sources, leading to confusion. We also understand how exhausting it is to deal with bureaucratic procedures and authorities. One should not forget about the challenge of integration into Swedish life, navigating social norms and local customs.

Our goal is to minimize your stress level and uncertainty associated with relocation to Sweden. Over the years, we shared our experience with many friends on their journey to settling in here and in the end, decided that we want other expats to benefit from our knowledge. We believe our comprehensive and practical guides can simplify integration into Sweden for you, as well as save time on researching around Sweden. Our guides offer step-by-step assistance and useful tips for those relocating to Sweden, while via consultations we want to help you dive deeper into matters that are relevant just for you.

OUR TEAM

The Passion Behind the Business

We met several years ago while working together in a marketing department and we often discussed pecularities of life in Stockholm as an expat and shared useful tips with one another. Even when we left the company, we stayed in touch as friends. During maternity leave in 2023 Anastasia got the idea of BAC Agency, it was a natural step to ask Julia to be a co-founder as her expat experience covered other aspects around relocation to the country. Embarking on this entrepreneurial journey together, we knew that our combined strengths and shared experiences are a powerful formula for success.
