Born out of necessity

Blue Whale Consulting was born out of necessity. While working in HR at a foreign construction company newly operating in Norway, our founder, Rafael Francisco, experienced how the complex and demanding Norwegian regulatory and labour landscape could overwhelm even the most ambitious businesses.

But the real challenge wasn't the regulations themselves. It was the lack of transparency, unclear communication and the absence of reliable, timely answers from existing consulting firms. Companies weren't just struggling with regulations, they were struggling to find a partner they could actually trust.

The partner you've been looking for

We created Blue Whale Consulting to be the bridge Rafael couldn't find. Our goal is to provide small and medium-sized international companies with a solid foundation in the Norwegian market. We eliminate the burdens of regulatory uncertainty, administrative tasks and time-consuming processes, so companies can focus on their core business.

How we build your foundation

We bring together a dedicated team that secures your operations by:

• Managing end-to-end administrative processes with Altinn, the Norwegian Labour and Welfare Administration (NAV), the Norwegian Health Economics Administration (Helfo) and the Norwegian Tax Administration (Skatteetaten).
• Consulting on compliance with Norwegian labour and corporate law.

Our team speaks Portuguese, English and Norwegian, allowing us to support international partners with clarity and proximity.
