		Scottish merchants were not part of the lucrative dealings of the English, so Scot Colin Campbell, in association with Niclas Sahlgren in Göteborg, devised an idea for a Swedish East India Company, which would be Sweden's first international trading company.
		In all the company dispatched 132 expeditions in its 74 years of business.Each voyage was set up as a separate enterprise, and once the ship had returned and its cargo had been sold, the profits were shared and all the ledgers burnt.
		This is why it's hard to calculate the actual size of the dividends.Several Swedish and Scottish businessmen were part-owners, including Chalmers, Finlay, Sahlgren and Alströmer.

		After several attempts Henrich König together with Frans Bedoire and Collin Campbell, with the latter probably being the initiator, succeeded in June 1731 and got an approval from the Swedish parliament to establish a company to trade with the Far East.
		On the board of directors were, among others, Niclas Sahlgren (1701-1776), who became a particularly important person in the history of the Company and Gothenburg, and was one of the most important benefactors in the history of the town.
		The Swedish East India Company (SOIC) could start with a Swedish trade monopoly for fifteen years east of 'Good Hope' with 'East India.' The company had its headquarters in Gothenburg, which was also where the export and import cargoes were administered.
