Why is the capital separate?
The NOK 20,000 is company capital, not a payment to Stift. With debt assumption, the buyer assumes the obligation. With settlement via client account, the amount is paid to Stift AS’ client account and transferred to the company once its bank account is ready.

Contact usHow quickly can I take over a ready-made AS?

What is included in the price?
You get a ready-made Norwegian AS with an organization number, NOK 30,000 in share capital, prepared takeover documents and guidance through the process.
Can I change the name, purpose and board?
Yes. Name, purpose, board and address can be changed after takeover. Public fees and processing time may apply in addition.
What does an outstanding balance mean?
Part of the share capital may be recorded as an outstanding balance between the company and Stift. On takeover this can either be assumed as a matter between the buyer and the company, or settled directly as part of the purchase price.
When do I gain control of the company?
You gain control once the takeover is registered. Practical matters, such as a bank account, may require some follow-up afterwards.
Do I have to go through customer due diligence?
Yes. Customer due diligence is a necessary part of the takeover, and we collect details about the buyer and beneficial owners before the company can be transferred.
Is the share capital intact?
The company is incorporated with NOK 30,000 in share capital. Part of it may be recorded as an outstanding balance, which is either assumed or settled at the takeover.
