Many small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) seeking to enter new markets rely on structured support programmes to validate commercial potential and prepare for cross-border challenges. One such initiative is SMV Export, managed by the Danish Erhvervshusene under Danmarks Erhvervsfremmebestyrelse, which connects Danish exporters with approved advisors to support their export ambitions.

Intermediary AS is listed as an approved advisor under the SMV Export programme, offering specialist guidance to Danish SMEs that are exploring international expansion — including market entry into Norway. As an advisor, the company provides expertise in areas such as regulatory readiness, administrative requirements, company setup, and compliance prerequisites that are essential when planning operations abroad.

The role of an SMV Export advisor extends beyond high-level strategy. It involves helping clients interpret market rules, understand formal requirements, and determine practical next steps. For companies targeting Norway, this often includes an assessment of legal structures, identification needs, tax and VAT considerations, and a clear understanding of how to navigate administrative processes in a non-EU but EEA-aligned market.

Being part of the SMV Export advisor network ensures that Danish SMEs have access to vetted expertise when preparing for international expansion. Advisors can help companies move from concept to execution, offering frameworks for actionable planning and risk mitigation. Companies benefit from structured guidance that aligns export strategy with required compliance and procedural readiness.

Alongside export strategy support, many companies also address formal administrative prerequisites in parallel. Establishing a presence in a new market like Norway involves completing legal registrations, securing authorised representatives, and gaining access to relevant digital systems. To streamline these tasks, companies often leverage structured digital registration solutions, which standardise onboarding, make authorised verification predictable, and reduce unnecessary manual processes.

By combining export advisory support through programmes like SMV Export with efficient administrative preparation, Danish SMEs are better equipped to pursue international opportunities such as those offered by the Norwegian market. A coordinated approach helps reduce friction, supports compliance and enables companies to focus on commercial execution with confidence.
