Why Fronted in Norway
Employer of Record is a long-term way to employ, so who stands behind it matters.
One contact who knows your team
A named contact person at Fronted looks after your employees in Norway, from the first contract to everyday payroll questions.
Hire in a new country in days, not months
Once the terms are agreed we issue a Norwegian contract and register the employee, so they can start without waiting for a company to be set up.
Norwegian rules handled every month
Payroll, tax deductions, employer contributions, pension and holiday pay follow Norwegian law, and we report to the authorities on time.

What our customers say
Testimonial 1 of 3
“Fronted's team was proactive throughout our onboarding. They kept us updated at every step, followed up when something needed our attention, and explained our options clearly. As a result, our first hire in Finland was set up smoothly and on time.”- “Global expansion is a mess, we know that from first hand experience. As a growth company you want to focus on growth and product, not juggling 5 vendors per country just to employ someone. We’re fixing that by being the one-stop-shop, from recruitment to employment and eventually setting up and running legal entities when the timing is right. One partner, with a team that deeply cares about you and understands your needs.”
“The communication has been simple, clear, and easy to understand, and whenever we have had questions, you have been quick to respond. We have especially appreciated your goal- and solution-oriented approach.”
