Doing business in Norway

Norway is a high-income market of 5.5 million consumers with stable institutions and one of Europe’s most efficient business environments. It also sits outside the EU, so company registration, VAT, consumer rules, and accessibility requirements all follow their own Norwegian framework. This hub gathers our guides and articles on the practical decisions foreign businesses face when entering the market.

Your Norwegian entity

Before VAT registration, before payment solutions, before a .no domain, there is the question of what to register and the ID number that makes it possible.

Selling to Norwegian consumers

Norway is a high-spending market with its own consumer habits and a set of consumer rules that differ from those in most European markets.

Norwegian VAT

Norway sits outside the EU, so VAT operates as its own system with its own thresholds. Sellers often choose the wrong scheme, or pay for a representative they do not need.

The domain

A .no domain must be held by a Norwegian entity. Until you have one, a trustee service can hold it on your behalf.
