In order to start a business in Norway, several local, national and overseas services are available to the public. Call the "Narvikstelefonen" for more information about starting a business in the country at the following number: ( 47) 800 33 840; check with the Ministry of Economy and Trade or visit "Bedin" website to get information kits, in Norwegian and English, about entrepreneurship. Do not hesitate to directly contact municipalities, which can sometimes offer support services to business creation.  

It is highly advised to contact the chamber of commerce of your home country established in Norway to get financial assistance and (or) additional information about entrepreneurship and legal procedures in the country.
