FAQ
How do I find distributors in the Nordics?
Start with one country rather than the whole region. A local advisor knows which distributors cover which markets and can introduce you directly.
What does setting up a business in Sweden, Finland, Norway or Denmark involve?
Company registration is digital and fairly quick in all four countries. The harder part is building local relationships with customers and partners, which is where a Boardio advisor helps. Boardio does not handle company formation.
Should I enter all Nordic countries at once?
Most companies start with one country and expand from there. An advisor can help you choose the best first market for your product.
How much does it cost?
Posting a search and browsing advisors is free. With Turnkey you pay a success fee from €1,900 + VAT only if you start working with an advisor we found. No retainer.
