4.
Registration in the Norwegian Business Register
We offer help for company registration in the Norwegian Business Register. We take care of the entire process for you, from gathering the necessary information to dealing with the authorities and confirming the registration.
Operating in Norway often requires registration in the Brønnøysund business register. If you do work in Norway and your turnover is more than NOK 50.000, you are required to register for Norwegian VAT. In this case, company registration is also mandatory.
We provide guidance on complying with Norwegian VAT regulations. We ensure that your registration meets all legal requirements and that you can start your business in Norway without any problems. We also advise you on finding a good accountant.
Our service includes:
- Reviewing and preparing the necessary documents and information, mainly in Norwegian
- Preparing and submitting the application to the Brønnøysund Register
- Applying for a D number
- Obtaining an organisation number
- Advice on registration obligations and practices
- Follow-up support for any additional registrations (different registers)
