The Register of Business Enterprises


The Register of Business Enterprises is responsible for registering all Norwegian and foreign business enterprises in Norway. The register shall ensure the protection of business names against third parties and provide an overview of the financial structure of a business enterprise, and is an important source of information for anyone in need of correct information about participants in Norwegian business and industry. All enterprises operating business activities - both those with unlimited as well as limited responsibilities - are obliged to register with the Register of Business Enterprises. This also applies to sole proprietorships operating a trade with purchased goods or which employ more than five persons in primary positions. Other sole proprietorships may register on a voluntary basis.
