Intermediary: Norway’s first end-to-end digital infrastructure for EU market entry
- Published 2 March 2026; updated 2 June 2026; estimated reading time 4 minutes. Intermediary AS (registercompany.no) offers a digital platform to help European companies establish a Norwegian AS (private limited company) or NUF (Norwegian branch). It combines company formation, onboarding and compliance checks. The company says its concept/method underwent patentability review and received recognition from Norway’s Patent Office, and that it was nominated for Norway’s Digitalisation Award 2026.
- The platform’s described components include electronic identity verification via Idura eIDs, integration with available EU company registers and beneficial-ownership data, automated anti-money-laundering and politically exposed person screening, passport verification and cross-border qualified electronic signatures. It also handles D-number registration for non-resident founders. The company says its process is validated through Norwegian state-authorised accounting firms and aligns with existing EU rules; these are company/page claims, not independent certification findings.
- Intermediary says the system reuses verified data rather than asking customers to re-enter it, aiming to reduce cost and friction while enabling interoperability across businesses, authorities and borders. The article says the EU Data Act increases demand for compliant digital processes. SMEs needing VAT, tax or legal registration in Norway, firms moving beyond VOEC, and prospective investors are listed as target customers.
- Denmark was the test market; the page reports ten Danish companies onboarded as pilot customers through API connections to EU company registers and ownership data. The platform is described as ready to expand as more national integration points become available. Intermediary says it has European Innovation Council “Quality Stamped and Validated Innovations” recognition and approved-supplier status for EU-funded companies entering Norway.
- Founder/CEO Morten Ims says the Made in Norway label signals that the infrastructure is designed, developed and operated in Norway and builds confidence around security, regulatory compliance and data protection. The company plans to display it in the platform, onboarding, marketing and partner communications and says it has worked with Innovation Norway on positioning.
