Aksjeselskap(AS), the Norwegian private limited liability company, is a company based on a minimum share capital of NOK 30,000 (approximately EUR 3,850) and with limited liability responsibilities of the shareholders. This type of company may be formed by two or more shareholders. Our Norwegian company formation agents can handle the entire process of setting up this type of legal entity in Norway.
The first step in opening a private limited liability company is choosing a name and verify it at the Register of Business Enterprises. If the name is available it can be reserved. The second step is opening a bank account and deposit de minimum share capital of NOK 30,000. The balance sheet of the newly company must be examined by an auditor.
An organization number must be received from the Central Coordinating Register for Legal Entities, so an application must be filled for setting up a limited liability company in Norway in 2022. This application must contain the following information:
The memorandum of association must be submitted at the Register of Business Enterprises. This operation must be accomplished within 3 months after the document was signed. Our experienced company formation agents in Norway can handle all the company registration steps for you, no matter the type of company you choose to incorporate in this country.
Further on, the investors will need to provide information on the following: the name of the entity, the articles of association, the date of incorporation, registered headquarters, the value of the shares, the role of the company, the names of the board members and the name of the general manager.
This process takes a few days if it is done via Internet or a few weeks if it’s done in person. A fee is requested for every registration and every notification. At the same time, the VAT request must be filled and a registration for injury insurance and pension plan for the employees is also needed.
When appointing directors, it is necessary to know that the Norwegian legislation stipulates that if the business has more than 30 employees, one of the directors has to be elected by the company’s employees. More importantly, in the case in which the company will hire more than 50 persons, the company’s board of directors should be comprised of members of both genders.
Bank account and VAT registration are two of the most important steps to complete to open a company in Norway. The first one will enable you to conclude all the financial transactions in a legal way, while the second is a step that can be completed voluntarily during the first period of existence of your business.
In 2022, when setting up a LLC in Norway, the General Meeting has the role of choosing the members of the board. At least half of the members must be from Norway, unless the members are EEA residents. If the share capital of a limited liability company is above NOK 3,000,000 (EUR 390,000), at least 3 members of the board must be selected.
The members of the board must elect the General Manager. He must be a Norway resident or from another EEA country. The General Meeting takes management decisions regarding matters such as liquidation, mergers, increasing or decreasing the amount of share capital and other similar aspects. If the company ceases to exist, a notification must be sent to the Register of Business Enterprises.
