Common questions
Yes. Foreigners can own 100% of a Norwegian AS, and registration can be done remotely. The AS needs a registered Norwegian address, minimum share capital of NOK 30,000, and EEA-resident management (general manager plus at least half the board). Commenda, Tetra Consultants, and Company Formation Norway all handle the registration.
Quote-based. Tetra Consultants does not publish a Norway price; its package covers registration, corporate bank account opening, business visa, and accounting and tax, scoped per engagement.
Formation is quoted per engagement (a comparable local formation reference starts around EUR 2,280). Published rates include a virtual registered office at EUR 100/month and accounting and VAT support from EUR 95+VAT per hour.
For a one-off Norway registration with local or banking help, both are fair, and Company Formation Norway can be cheaper for a Norway-only setup. Commenda is the better fit for a cross-border group: it registers the Norway AS and then runs accounting, CIT, VAT, transfer pricing, and consolidation across 70+ countries on one platform.
$2,885 for incorporation (billed EUR 2,500), plus $1,154 for KYC and client take-on. Optional modules: registered address $2,308/year, local director $4,039/year, annual report and CIT return from $1,731/year, VAT registration $462, VAT ongoing $346/month.
About 1 to 2 months with Commenda, excluding time to collect and notarize KYC and corporate documents. Tetra Consultants offers shelf companies for a faster live entity. Norway requires notarized, wet-ink original documents sent as physical originals.
