How to Register a Norwegian Limited Company (AS) with Intermediary AS

Starting a Norwegian Limited Company (AS)—also called an Aksjeselskap—is the most common way to establish a limited liability business in Norway. With a required minimum share capital of NOK 30,000, an AS provides credibility, tax advantages, and legal protection for business owners. But for international founders, the process can feel complex. This is where Intermediary AS simplifies the entire journey.

What Is a Norwegian Limited Company (AS)?

A Norwegian Limited Company (AS) is a private limited liability company where shareholders are only liable up to their invested share capital. It is the preferred business form for both Norwegian and international entrepreneurs who want to:

Protect personal assets with limited liability.
Build credibility with customers, investors, and partners.
Reinvest profits efficiently after corporate tax (22%).
Operate in line with Norwegian and EU/EEA regulations.
