AIMSES AS
Annen teknisk konsulentvirksomhet · Norway
Private Norwegian company (AS) in Annen teknisk konsulentvirksomhet
Deal angle: Brønnøysund Register + Regnskapsregisteret
Thesis: AIMSES AS provides a low-profile entry into Norway’s technical consulting market, where Baltic peers trade at 5.4–15.1x EV/EBITDA. An acquirer secures register-verified Norwegian client relationships and regulatory credentials for regional expansion or arbitrage against lower-multiple Baltic assets. Key risk: absent public EBITDA prevents accurate pricing versus the 7–9x median.
A&E EIENDOMSUTVIKLING AS
Utvikling og salg av byggeprosjekter · Norway
Private Norwegian company (AS) in Utvikling og salg av byggeprosjekter
Deal angle: Brønnøysund Register + Regnskapsregisteret
Thesis: A&E Eiendomsutvikling AS offers a Norwegian development pipeline at an entry multiple likely below Baltic peers (5.4-15.1x EV/EBITDA). Strategic buyer gains direct access to Brønnøysund-registered projects and local permitting advantages for cross-Baltic expansion. Key risk is opaque margins and cyclical inventory exposure versus listed names like Grigeo or Tallinna Sadam.
A NORMAL STUDIOS ASDEEP DIVE
Etterarbeid knyttet til produksjon av film, video og fjernsynsprogrammer · Norway
Private Norwegian company (AS) in Etterarbeid knyttet til produksjon av film, video og fjernsynsprogrammer
Deal angle: Brønnøysund Register + Regnskapsregisteret
Thesis: A Normal Studios gives Baltic media players (EEG1T at 8.0x, TAL1T at 7.6x) immediate entry into Norway’s post-production segment, where streaming demand supports margin expansion above the 8.9–14.8% peer range. An acquirer secures scarce local capacity and cross-border revenue synergies at an estimated 6–8x EV/EBITDA. Execution risk centers on integrating a small, undisclosed private target with limited public financial transparency.
A RESTAURANT AS
Drift av restauranter · Norway
Private Norwegian company (AS) in Drift av restauranter, ~19 employees
Deal angle: Brønnøysund Register + Regnskapsregisteret
Thesis: A RESTAURANT AS provides a compact Norwegian platform for Baltic groups (Tallink, Apranga, TKM) to gain direct Norway exposure at 7-9x EV/EBITDA, well below Tallink’s 7.6x or Apranga’s 8.6x. An acquirer secures local F&B operations and supplier access with minimal headcount. Key risk is sustained pressure on EBITDA margins from Norway’s high wage costs versus Baltic peers.
A.H BYGG AS
Oppføring av bygninger · Norway
Private Norwegian company (AS) in Oppføring av bygninger
Deal angle: Brønnøysund Register + Regnskapsregisteret
Thesis: A.H BYGG AS provides Baltic groups a low-visibility entry into Norway’s building construction market via an opaque Brønnøysund filing with undisclosed price. Buyers capture a local AS platform that could trade at 6-9x EV/EBITDA, below TKM1T or TSM1T multiples, while securing Norwegian execution capacity. Main risk is thin public data and margin exposure to cyclical Norwegian building activity.
Deep Dive
A NORMAL STUDIOS AS
Etterarbeid knyttet til produksjon av film, video og fjernsynsprogrammer · Norway · Brønnøysund Register + Regnskapsregisteret
Company Overview
A Normal Studios AS is a private Norwegian limited company (AS) specializing in post-production services for film, video, and television programming. It operates exclusively in Norway, a market benefiting from steady streaming-platform demand for localized content. With revenue below €10 million, the firm is a small-scale operator focused on editing, visual effects, sound, and finishing work rather than full production. Its limited public footprint reflects the typical profile of a founder-led service business with modest headcount and project-based revenue.
Deal Context
The M&A angle centers on strategic entry for Baltic media groups seeking immediate exposure to Norway’s post-production segment. Listed Baltic peers such as AS Ekspress Grupp (EEG1T) and AS Tallink Grupp (TAL1T) already trade at 7.6–8.0x EV/EBITDA and could accelerate geographic diversification by acquiring scarce local capacity. The transaction is most likely a strategic bolt-on rather than PE-led or growth-equity, given the target’s size and the acquirers’ need for operational synergies in a high-demand niche.
Valuation Context
Baltic listed media and consumer peers trade between 5.4x and 15.1x EV/EBITDA, with the relevant media names clustered at 7.6–8.0x. A private Norwegian company of this scale would face a 25–35% liquidity and size discount, implying a realistic 5–6x EV/EBITDA ceiling. On a revenue basis, post-production multiples typically range from 0.8–1.5x for sub-€10 million firms with mid-single-digit margins, well below the 1.8–2.2x revenue multiples occasionally paid for larger, listed content platforms.
Triage Verdict
REVIEW
- Fit: Strong sector tailwinds from streaming demand and clear strategic fit for Baltic media buyers seeking Norwegian capacity.
- Red flags: Minimal financial transparency and small absolute size increase execution and integration risk for any acquirer.
- Next step: Request three-year P&L, client concentration schedule, and utilization rates before advancing to term-sheet discussions.
Key Risk
Customer concentration in a handful of Norwegian broadcasters or streaming contracts could collapse margins if key relationships are lost during ownership transition.
Bottom line: A niche strategic target that merits selective outreach once basic financials are secured.

A/S Norske Shell
Utvinning av naturgass · ~€2171.4M rev
Solid — pursue with focused integration plan.
Equinor gains the clearest value from cost and operational consolidation of overlapping Norwegian gas assets; revenue synergies are minimal while organizational fit is strong due to geography and sector alignment.
