Remotely Process Your Norwegian AS Company Registration in About 20 Business Days
TKEG Expat supports Norway company incorporation for foreign company owners seeking a compliant AS structure in Norway’s stable regulatory environment. The service covers help to apply for a D number, complete registration through the Brønnøysund Register Centre, get legal entities registered in the register and entered in the Register of Business Enterprises, and assist with opening a bank account and setting up a corporate bank account. This solution is designed for common types of company, especially the Norwegian AS, which requires minimum share capital, annual accounts, and may be subject to statutory audit depending on size. Norwegian rules generally require 50 of board members to be residents of Norway or the European Economic Area, so TKEG Expat can provide support where no Norwegian resident or EEA-resident director is available. For businesses planning to set up a branch office in Norway, expand under the Norwegian government framework, or manage residence permit matters, TKEG Expat also helps address practical steps, including cases subject to central bank reporting requirements.
