"As the owner of a sole proprietorship, you yourself represent the company externally, and there is no difference between the sole proprietorship's finances and your private finances. Successful and orderly operations presuppose good financial management, and it is important that you distinguish between the company's finances and personal finances, such as having your own account where all transactions involving the sole proprietorship are made. When you run a sole proprietorship, you normally have a number of reporting obligations to the authorities, such as tax returns, VAT returns and A-returns, if you have employees. In a sole proprietorship, you can have employees, but you can not hire yourself. The owner is considered to be self-employed and you are responsible for paying tax on the profits of the company"
Prerequisites for starting an association: An association must have at least two founders. Both natural persons and legal entities (for example limited companies or other associations) can be founders. An association is normally founded by creating a founding document. If the association wants an organization number, the association must be registered in the Register of Legal Entities. If the association conducts voluntary activity, it can be registered in the Volunteer Register. Being registered in the Volunteer Register can give the right to participate in various grant schemes for voluntary activities. Businesses registered in the Volunteer Register can also apply for VAT compensation from the VAT compensation scheme if the requirements in the regulations on VAT compensation for voluntary organizations are met. The VAT compensation scheme is a subsidy scheme where voluntary organizations can apply to be compensated for VAT that they have paid when purchasing goods and services. The Norwegian Lotteries and Foundations Authority is responsible for the scheme.
