Starting a business in Norway as a foreign national is like trying to assemble a car engine with the manual in a different language, and parts from six suppliers who don’t return your emails.
That’s exactly why we built this service: to help entrepreneurs, consultants, and overseas companies stop wasting time and start building legally sound entities in Norway — with every regulatory box checked and no second guesses.
Our clients come from the UK, USA, Germany, Singapore, the UAE, and more — and every one of them has asked the same question:
“Why is this so complicated?”
Here’s the truth: it doesn’t have to be.
But you need a service that does more than just tell you which forms to download.
Book a call to walk through your situation — we’ll show you exactly how we’d set up your Norwegian company.
These aren’t theories. They’re outcomes, and every one of them solves a practical problem you’ll face when setting up a company in Norway from abroad.
We don’t throw out “AS vs NUF vs ENK” and leave you to figure it out. We match the legal structure to your liability exposure, corporate goals, and tax tolerances.
Problem Solved: You’ll avoid legal mistakes, tax overpayment, or being stuck with the wrong structure. We explain the limits under the Norwegian Companies Act and how they align with your home country’s laws.
Without a D-number, you can’t do much. You’ll need it for:
We handle this through correct Skatteetaten (Norwegian Tax Administration) channels, including notarised ID verification and properly formatted applications.
Problem Solved: Skip the 6–8 week delays and incomplete submissions. Our average turnaround is under 14 business days.
We manage the full submission and all communication with the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises (Enhetsregisteret and Foretaksregisteret).
This includes:
Problem Solved: Avoid form errors, classification problems, and costly waiting periods.
If you think opening a corporate bank account in Norway means just walking into a branch, it doesn’t.
We coordinate with reliable banks (DnB, Handelsbanken, Nordea), set up a local office presence if needed, and check documents in advance to avoid rejection.
Problem Solved: Get your account approved the first time. We’ve supported over 30 clients in opening accounts that pass AML and KYC checks.
If your business reaches NOK 50,000 in turnover (approx. €4,200), you must register for VAT (MVA).
We handle:
Problem Solved: Avoid penalties, double taxation, and errors with Skatteetaten compliance.
Foreign businesses often need to show a local presence in Norway. We provide:
Problem Solved: Meets legal requirements, saves time, and avoids rejection or shutdowns due to non-compliance.
After setup, there’s still more to handle. We keep your business legally aligned through:
Problem Solved: Avoid fines (up to NOK 58,000 per missing report) and keep your business running without managing every filing yourself.
If you plan to relocate or run your business on-site, you’ll need:
Problem Solved: Avoid visa denials and start your business as a legally present owner in Norway.

You could send this off to a nameless law firm or generic form filler. But they won’t explain what happens when Altinn rejects your form, or when Skatteetaten questions your business model.
We do.
We’ve helped:
We don’t just send forms. We make sure your company functions after it’s registered.

Not always. But for structures like AS, a local representative is required. We offer compliant nominees if necessary.
Usually 3–5 weeks (if everything’s in order). We’ve completed setups in under 15 business days with prepared clients.
That’s common. VAT and address rules still apply. We offer local addresses and VOEC registration for eCommerce and digital providers.
Only for NUF setups. AS companies need a registered address in Norway.
Not always. But for VAT and annual reports, a local advisor is helpful. We can refer to one if needed.
You’ve got the idea. Maybe the money. Maybe the first client. What you don’t have is a legal structure in Norway that works.
