Short answer

Does a sole proprietorship need a website?

Yes, if your customers look for your service online, and they almost always do. A profile on Facebook or Finn isn’t the same: you don’t own it, you don’t decide how it looks, and it rarely shows up when someone searches for your service and your area.

What you don’t need, though, is a big site. For the vast majority of sole proprietorships, one good page is enough: one that explains what you do, shows you know your trade, and makes it easy to call you.

Content

What a sole proprietor’s site should include

What you offer, in plain words

Not “holistic solutions”, but what people can actually order from you.

Where you work

Area and place are often your most important search words.

A photo of you

When customers buy from one person, they’re buying from you.

A phone number you can tap

Most people would rather call than fill in a form.

Organisation number

Shows the business is registered, and is required when you sell to other businesses.

Money

Around NOK 20 a day, booked as a business expense

The Start package costs NOK 599 a month excl. VAT, and gives you up to three pages with a contact form. For comparison, a one-off price from a freelancer or agency is typically NOK 15,000 and up, before running costs.

Free setup

Normally NOK 2,900. You only pay the monthly price from the day the site goes live.

Invoice with organisation number

An ordinary business expense, like everything else you buy in.

Running included

Updates and security are included, with no hourly rate.

Easy to end

A three-month minimum term, and you take the domain with you.

Time

No system to learn

Many start with a site builder, spend two weekends on it, and end up with something half-finished they can’t face touching again.

We make the site for you. If you want to change a price or swap a photo afterwards, click it on the page, write what should change, and approve. That’s all the training there is.

Tell us a little about what you do and we’ll make a draft within two working days. The whole process is described on how it works.

Questions and answers

What people ask

Can’t find the answer? Send us a message and we’ll reply.

Is NOK 599 a month a lot for a sole proprietorship?

It’s around NOK 20 a day, and it’s a tax-deductible business expense. For comparison, a one-off site from a freelancer typically costs NOK 15,000 and up, plus running costs.

Do I need an organisation number to order?

Yes, the service is sold to registered businesses. If your sole proprietorship is registered with the Brønnøysund Register Centre, you’re good to go.

Are three pages enough?

For most sole proprietorships, yes. The Start package gives you up to three pages with the essentials. If you need more pages later, you upgrade.

Can I put the website through my accounts?

Yes, this is an ordinary business expense. You get an invoice with your organisation number.

What if I close the business?

You cancel after the three-month minimum term, and can take the domain with you.
