Timber business step by step

When we have discussed your circumstances and needs, our timber buyers carry out an on-site inventory. You are very welcome to partake. We take surface samples, assess the quantities involved from a taxation standpoint, discuss transportation routes, storage depots and, if applicable, removal of branches and tree tops.

You will receive a comprehensive, recommended measures proposal, e.g., thinning, final felling and/or silviculture. The proposal encompasses prioritisation, felling method, volume, costs, and financial result for each area.

Business aspects can vary depending on the situation and what best suits your circumstances. You can carry out part or all the felling and transportation yourself, or leave the whole operation to Sveaskog. We always fell according to FSC norms for sustainable and economical forestry.
Your timber buyer will help you find the best sales model.

You receive a payment plan which, if it is beneficial to you with regard to taxation, can be spread over several years.

Sveaskog draws up a contract for the felling assignment or delivery timber. Prepayment can be made on request. We draw up separate contracts for silviculture, biofuel etc. as applicable.

On completion of felling, the timber is transported to industry where the Timber-Scaling Association carries out an impartial quality classification, measurement and pricing (not applicable to standing forest and timber measurement with a harvester). You receive reports on the measured timber

You receive the supplier's deductions, after which you have the full picture of the result of your delivery. This is followed by final payments according to the model requested by you. Contact your timber buyer with any queries you may have concerning the transactions.

Each year you receive a report of all the business we have done together that year. Check the information against your own bookkeeping and tax declaration.
