Useful to know

Anti-Money Laundering (AML) check

1Bedrift.no complies with legal AML requirements (hvitvaskingsloven). After you submit your application, our specialist will perform a client background check as quickly as possible. The process will continue only after this check is complete.

Registration timeframe for changes

Typically, registering changes (such as company name, business activity, board members, etc.) takes 5–7 weeks. However, you can start using the company immediately, without waiting for the registration to be fully completed.

Opening a bank account

Opening a business bank account can take time. Processing times vary depending on the bank, so we recommend contacting your chosen bank before placing an order. You are also welcome to contact us for advice and recommendations.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the process for buying a shelf company?

All you need to do is very simple:
1. Choose a suitable company from our list.
2. Provide contact details and pay for the service.
3. Fill out a short form about business activities, management, and owners.
4. Sign the document package, purchase agreement, and later the registration form in Altinn (if you have access).
5. Done! The company is officially yours, and you are the owner of a new joint-stock company (AS).

2. How much will the company cost in total?

When purchasing a joint-stock company (AS), it is important to consider three main components:

– Cost of the company (shelf company) — 9,900 NOK
– Share capital — 30,000 NOK. This is a mandatory requirement. The money does not “disappear” — it stays in the company’s bank account and is used for its operations. You need to deposit this amount into your company’s account as soon as possible after the ownership transfer.
– Brønnøysundregistrene state fee — 6,500 NOK. This amount can be paid using the company’s share capital.
– Change of name (optional) — an additional 1,354 NOK state fee.

3. Do I need to deposit share capital?

Yes. When purchasing a ready-made joint-stock company (AS), you take on the obligation to reimburse the previously deposited share capital — 30,000 NOK.

After signing the purchase agreement, you need to open a bank account and transfer this amount. The money remains in the company’s account and can be used for its business activities.

We recommend depositing the share capital as soon as possible so that the company can fully begin its operations.

4. Why do I need to pay the state registration fee?

Готовая компания уже зарегистрирована в Норвегии, а регистрация акционерного общества всегда сопровождается государственной пошлиной — 6 500 NOK. Эта сумма либо уже была оплачена 1Bedrift.no, либо вашей компании будет выставлен счёт напрямую от Brønnøysundregistrene. В любом случае регистрация акционерного общества невозможна без оплаты этой пошлины — это обязательное требование.

5. Do the shelf companies for sale already have a bank account?

К сожалению, нет. Все готовые компании, продаются без открытого банковского счёта. После покупки вам нужно будет открыть счёт самостоятельно в любом норвежском банке. Также вы можете обратиться к нам за советом и рекомендациями.

6. Can a shareholder be the CEO and Chairman of the Board at the same time?лем?

Да, может. В Норвегии это обычная практика — акционер может управлять собственной компанией и совмещать обе роли.

7. Can a company purchase another company?

Да, может. При оформлении заявки в онлайн-сервисе 1Bedrift.no укажите данные юридического лица — в этом случае все документы будут оформлены так, что покупателем будет выступать ваша компания.

8. I am a foreigner without a Norwegian personal number. Can I buy a company?

Да, можете. Вы можете купить компанию и стать её акционером (владельцем). Однако без норвежского персонального номера вы не сможете занимать должность генерального директора или председателя правления.

Если у вас возникают сложности с получением D-nummer, просто напишите нам на адрес post@norus-regnskap.no и опишите вашу ситуацию. Мы подскажем, какие документы потребуются, и поможем с дальнейшими шагами для регистрации компании в Норвегии.

Обратите внимание: при оформлении D-номера итоговая стоимость услуги увеличится.
