Bring your idea. Start your business here.
Whether you move to Lister with an idea or find one here, you won’t be on your own. You get free guidance, help finding financing, and shared offices to work in.
From idea to business
There is help at every step. You don’t need to know everything in advance – start with the guidance, and you will be helped along from there. Most of the services are in Norwegian.
Idea and guidance
Free guidance on your idea, business plan and financing. Lister Nyskaping is the region’s business incubator; in some municipalities the advice is booked through DRIV Agder.
Financing
Municipal business funds, the Lister Fund and Innovation Norway. The business adviser in your municipality knows the schemes and can point you in the right direction.
Formalities
Choosing a company type, registration, tax and VAT are explained in one place on Altinn and by the Brønnøysund Register Centre.
Community and network
Shared offices in several of the municipalities, and the Lister Business Association – with U45 if you are under 45.
The help varies a little between municipalities
Each municipality has its own schemes and a business adviser with an overview of support, premises and who you should talk to first. Choose the municipality you are thinking of living in.
A place to work – and people to work with
The shared offices in Lister are places for sharing knowledge, work and a good time. You get a desk, but also colleagues across companies.
