FAQ

Common questions
about Norwegian
shelf companies.

What is a shelf company?
A shelf company (hylleselskap) is a pre-registered aksjeselskap that has been incorporated but never used commercially. It has a valid organization number, articles of association, and is ready for immediate takeover — saving you 4–8 weeks compared to incorporating a new company.
Is a shelf company worth the extra cost vs. incorporation?
For anyone who values time, yes. A standard incorporation still involves registration fees, capital deposit logistics, and 4–8 weeks of waiting. A shelf company gives you an operational entity within hours. For deal-dependent timelines, SPV needs, or fast-moving projects, the time saved far outweighs the premium.
Are there any hidden liabilities?
No. Every shelf company is guaranteed clean — zero debt, zero tax obligations, no commercial history. The company has never been used for anything. We provide a full guarantee that the entity is free from any liabilities at the time of transfer.
How do I open a bank account?
You open a bank account with the bank of your choice after the transfer is complete. Banks vary in their timeline and requirements for shelf companies, so we recommend contacting your preferred bank early. If you\u2019d like assistance, we can refer you to one of our banking partners \u2014 because they already know us, the process tends to be faster. This referral service is included at no extra cost.
How quickly can I take over the company?
Typically within 1\u20132 hours from completed order and signing. The company is immediately usable with its existing organization number while name and board changes are processed by Br\u00f8nn\u00f8ysundregistrene.
Can I change the company name?
Yes. Name changes are filed with Br\u00f8nn\u00f8ysundregistrene as part of the transfer process. An additional fee of kr 1,276 applies for the name change registration.
Do I need a Norwegian personal ID?
Directors and the general manager must have a Norwegian personal ID number (f\u00f8dselsnummer) or a D-number. If you don\u2019t have one, we assist with the D-number application process (additional fee of kr 10,000 + mva).
What's included in the price?
A registered limited company with an active organization number, all registry filings on your behalf, a complete document package (articles of association, share register, board protocols), banking partner introduction, and service provider introductions (accountant, auditor). Add-ons such as a registered address and VAT registration are available separately.
Is there a KYC verification process?
Yes. We are subject to anti-money laundering regulations. A brief customer verification is completed before every order can proceed.
Who can order a shelf company?
We primarily serve professional clients through law firms and advisory partners. We reserve the right to decline orders outside our target segment.
What about the interest limitation rules?
Nytt Foretak is part of an international group. If you expect substantial loan or interest costs in the company and need an entity eligible for the wholly Norwegian-owned group exemption under the interest limitation rules, this is available on request.
