Running a Small AS in Norway

As an immigrant running a business in Norway, I have embarked on a transformative journey filled with valuable lessons and ongoing learning experiences. In the spirit of sharing knowledge and shedding light on the challenges I've encountered, I want to offer insights into what I have learned so far.

Allow me to introduce myself briefly. I am an American who made the life-changing decision to relocate to Norway in 2013. Initially, I worked as an engineer, but my path took a new direction as I pursued a career change, went back to school, and ultimately established my own AS company specializing in furniture, interiors, and carpentry. My business essentially revolves around bringing clients' creative visions to life.

Navigating the intricacies of running a business in Norway has been an enriching yet daunting experience. I encountered numerous hurdles while familiarizing myself with the various systems in place. Through my trial and error, I have gained valuable insights that I am eager to share with others. However, I must emphasize that I am not an expert but aim to offer what I have learned and organized so far. I warmly encourage your active participation by providing comments, insights, and any additional information that could be beneficial to all of us on this journey.

Join me as I delve into the process of owning a small business in Norway as an expat. Together, we can kickstart each other's progress and growth while fostering a supportive community that thrives on shared knowledge and experiences.

Remember, we are all on this learning curve together, and together we can create a valuable resource for aspiring business owners seeking to embark on their own entrepreneurial ventures in Norway.
