Register a company in Norway, the energy economy of Europe.

Yes. With an apostilled power of attorney the founding, capital confirmation and Brønnøysund registration run remotely through Altinn. Banks decide their own meetings; DNB and peers often onboard by video when the file is clean. We steer you to the right one.

Turnkey registration starts from €2,900 including register fees and the first year of the registered address. With a bank account arranged, packages start from €4,900. The NOK 30,000 capital stays the company's money. Renewals with accounting run from €2,200 a year - Nordic costs, priced without surprises.

A clean 22% on profits, VAT at 25% on domestic supplies, employer charges of 14.1% on payroll. Between companies, the exemption method moves dividends and gains at effectively zero. The heavy Norwegian taxes are personal, not corporate, and they only touch resident owners.

Norway's exemption method: dividends and capital gains flowing between qualifying companies are exempt, with a token 3% of dividends staying taxable (an effective 0.66%). It keeps Norwegian corporate structures clean for groups, and it is why the standard international build is an operating AS under a foreign holding company.

The wealth tax, around 1% annually on net assets and valuing company shares, plus dividend taxation near 38% for residents. For a founder holding a valuable but illiquid company the yearly bill can exceed their income; hence the exodus that filled Swiss cantons. The conclusion we give clients: run businesses in Norway, think carefully before becoming personally tax-resident here.

Services and capital move freely: a Norwegian AS sells services across the single market like any EU company. Goods cross a customs border, with paperwork, origin rules and VAT at import - routine but real. For trading businesses we plan the flow, often with an EU sister entity, before the first shipment.

The managing director or at least half the board must reside in the EEA. Non-EEA founders solve it with an EEA-resident director (ours available) or by seating a compliant board from the start. We settle it on day one so the registration never stalls.

Nordic-thorough. DNB, Nordea and the SpareBank group run deep KYC on foreign-owned companies: ownership chain, substance, expected flows. Clean files get excellent NOK/EUR banking, and the oil-and-seafood economy means the banks understand international trade in their bones. We prepare the file to their standard.

Sweden is bigger and cheaper for general business; Denmark wins holdings and digital ease. Norway wins where the customer is the Norwegian economy itself - energy, seafood, maritime, offshore - which pays supplier premiums the neighbours can't. Sector decides, and we help you read yours.

Plan one to two weeks: days for documents and the board solution, capital confirmation, then Brønnøysund registration inside a week. Banking adds one to two weeks. Petroleum and aquaculture licences run their own project timelines, scoped separately.
