What it offers
Starte-AS.no describes a Norwegian company formation workflow: submit an online form, receive completed documents by email, then sign electronically in Altinn. The provider says using its service to prepare formation documents and register a company is free, and includes a 30-day Conta accounting trial that can be cancelled at any time. The same captured page separately states that an AS must have minimum share capital of NOK 30,000 and pay a one-time NOK 6,500 fee to Brønnøysundregistrene for registration. Share capital is not a provider service charge. It also says selecting a bank account during registration can save up to four weeks, while registration time varies with registry processing. Treat these as statements in the captured page, not independent confirmation of current legal requirements; check official rules and bank terms before proceeding.
Fit and details to verify
Useful for people comparing an online formation process with direct handling. Verify current Norwegian requirements, eligibility, bank arrangements and the provider’s terms before acting.
The formation package
The service centres on the paperwork needed to set up a private limited company in Norway. After an order form is completed, the formation documents arrive by email so they can be reviewed before anything is signed. Signing takes place electronically through the national government portal, and the company is then entered in the national business registry. Opening a bank account through one of a few partner banks can be arranged within the same process, which helps shorten the wait for share capital to be confirmed.
Accounting setup
Alongside the formation paperwork, the arrangement includes an accounting software option that is set up for the new company. This gives founders a place to keep track of income and costs from the first day of trading. The customer decides how long to keep that software and can end the agreement whenever they wish, so the choice stays in their hands. Anyone who already uses a different bookkeeping method should also consider whether this option works with their plans before going ahead. It is worth thinking about the setup with the way the business plans to handle money once trading begins.
Timing and processing
How long registration takes depends on the national registry, so no fixed timeline can be promised. Documents reach the customer soon after the order form is sent, which makes it easier to prepare the capital payment and the electronic signature early. Choosing a partner bank within the process can avoid waiting for a separate account, and that choice can noticeably shorten the overall time. Founders with a firm start date should plan around registry processing times rather than the formation service alone.

The service is built around the Norwegian AS, which is a private limited company with share capital. It helps founders prepare formation documents, completes registration in the national registry and offers an accounting software option for the new business. Other company forms are not part of this arrangement, so anyone planning a different structure should look at other options first.

The software is meant to help new Norwegian companies keep their books in order from the start, and it sits alongside the registration work rather than replacing it.
