The course How to start a business in Norway by NOOA has been very useful for me, and gave me the possibility to effectuate my idea on having a business in Norway.
The tools are very intuitive and guides naturally to the next step. The course instructs on tax, juridic issues, marketing, sales and shows points to be consider before start a business.
We find the informations in English, which has extremely importance for me as I don’t speak Norwegian yet.
I’m very satisfied with the course.
