How To Make Your Life Easier Once You Have Moved to Stockholm

Moving to Stockholm, like doing a corporate relocation or personal move, can be stressful and taxing. Fret not, there are services in Stockholm that can make your life a lot easier once you arrive. “Själv är bästa dräng” was a popular saying in Sweden which translates to that it is best being self sufficient. The Swedes attitude toward contracting services has truly changed and new companies that are geared to making your life easier are exploding in numbers. We have compiled a list of resources that make living in Stockholm much easier so that when you arrive you can focus on the important stuff like the new exciting job, getting kids started in schools and figuring out why everyone on your new team wants to reach consensus on all decisions (that is a whole article in itself). For the record, we have a strict corporate policy of never taking kick-backs or referrals from third party service providers. This list is a compilation of providers we have tried ourselves or heard were good. We do not get a provision for referring them, it is strictly a "here you go, have a smooth arrival" recommendation!
