Set up and run your entity in Norway
Fronted does not stop at registration. We set up your Norwegian limited company (AS) and then run it every month: bookkeeping, VAT and annual accounts, payroll and pension, and the reporting Norwegian authorities expect. You get your own company in Norway without building a local back office.
- Setup, accounting and payroll
- One team from day one
- Local experts in Norway
What's included
Everything it takes to set up a company in Norway and keep it running.
Company setup
We register the AS with the Brønnøysund Register Centre, arrange the share capital and bank account, and register for VAT and as an employer.
Accounting
Bookkeeping, VAT returns, annual accounts and tax returns, done by our local team.
Payroll
Monthly payroll, tax deductions, employer contributions, pension and holiday pay for every employee.
Ongoing operations
Board and shareholder paperwork, statutory filings and a contact person who knows your company.
Moving from EOR
Moving from EOR to your entity
If your team is employed through our Employer of Record today, we plan the move with you. Each employee signs a new contract with your new company, and we prepare the contracts and handle the paperwork, including pension and payroll.
- New contracts prepared for every employee
- Pension and insurance set up in the new company
- Payroll moved to the new company from the first month

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.”
