A ready-made company in Norway. Delivered today.

NOK 9,900. That is the full price you pay for the company. Additional services such as a business address are optional and priced separately.

The government fees for registering the company and its new name are paid by the company itself — see the next question.

Registering the company and its changes with the Brønnøysund Register Centre involves government fees. They are paid by your new company as its own business expense, not by you personally.

• Registration fee, BrønnøysundNOK 6,825
• Name change, filed electronicallyNOK 1,276
• Name change, filed on paperNOK 2,662

The price covers:

• a registered AS with an active organisation number;
• full support with transferring the company to you, including changes to the company name, registered address, business activities, board and general manager;
• filing the change of name, address, board and general manager for you;
• a full document package in Norwegian — and in English if you need it — covering the articles of association, the shareholder register and the board minutes;
• an introduction to an accountant.

Our virtual address in Oslo is an additional service and can be ordered separately.

Once the purchase agreement is signed, you will need to transfer NOK 30,000 to the company’s bank account when it is opened. You can use this money in your new company’s business.

We recommend making the transfer as soon as possible to avoid additional tax costs.

The company is transferred to you within an hour of payment, provided that:

• the purchase is made during our working hours, Monday–Friday, 09:00–18:00 (Oslo time);
• you have passed the KYC check;
• we have all the necessary documents;
• the company already has its organisation number. A company still in registration is handed over as soon as the number is assigned.

Within an hour of purchase, on the conditions described above. The organisation number already exists, so you can sign contracts from the first day. The new name and board appear in the registry about two weeks later when filed electronically, and later when filed on paper. We file this for you.

No. The companies have not done business since the day they were founded and have no registered encumbrances.

An aksjeselskap (AS) is the Norwegian private limited company. It needs share capital of at least NOK 30,000, at least one shareholder — a person or a company from any country — and at least one board member. It is the most common company form for doing business in Norway.

No. You sign with BankID, or we send you a paper set and tell you what to sign and where to send it. All communication can happen remotely.

You need a bank account for the company, but it does not have to be in a Norwegian bank. The account is opened after the purchase, so the bank is not holding up the company itself. Smaller local banks are usually quicker with new business customers than the largest ones, and there are ways to start moving money while a bank finishes its checks — your manager goes through the options with you on the call.

A D-number is a Norwegian ID number for people who do not have a Norwegian national ID number. Board members and the general manager need either one or the other. If you don’t have one, we explain the process when you reserve a company.

Yes. Every AS must be registered with an address in Norway. If you do not have one, you can rent ours. It is more than a registered address: it includes a postal address with secretarial service. We receive, archive and forward all post addressed to your company, and on request our administrator can translate the documents you receive. NOK 1,000 per month, or NOK 9,600 per year when you pay for the whole year at once.

Yes. At least half of the board members must live in the EEA, the UK or Switzerland, and the same applies to the general manager if one is appointed. There is no nationality requirement for shareholders. If you need help meeting the residence requirement, our partner can provide local board members.

Yes. We are subject to Norwegian anti-money-laundering law and carry out a short customer check before we process an order. For international buyers this usually means verifying your passport and confirming your address.

Norwegian companies must file annual accounts and a tax return, and hold at least one board meeting a year. We will connect you with our partner accounting firm, which can take care of the accounting and tax work.

No. Registration in the VAT register becomes mandatory once the company’s turnover passes NOK 50,000 within 12 months. We will connect you with our partner accounting firm, which can handle tax and accounting for you, including the VAT registration.
