Oslo Family Office is the only company working holistically with the ownership of Norwegian owner families. We support and assist our families on a strategic, tactical and operational level. Our most important services are:
We believe in the involvement of all owners in the process of aligning values, managing risk, and establishing strong family and corporate governance to ensure the preservation of family legacies. We work with families to develop a unified strategic vision that sets a clear direction for current and future generations. Our approach combines best practices in strategy development with effective change management techniques. This ensures high levels of involvement, encourages visionary thinking, and facilitates efficient problem-solving. Our process enables cross-generational cooperation, helping families balance immediate goals with long-term stewardship of their assets.
The ownership strategies we create include defining the family's shared vision, core values, strategic priorities, investment strategies and governance structures. We also outline a roadmap for the next generation, with specific measures to foster interaction, unity, and continuity within the family. Our goal is to develop a sustainable plan that ensures both family harmony and the long-term success of their businesses.
Oslo Family Office can act either as a supplementation of in-house capabilities or as an outsourced family office. Our Hybrid Family Office service provides tailored strategic implementation and operational support to enhance and empower each family's active ownership. Sustained generational co-operation, tailored to each family’s situation, is an important aspect of our best practice. We understand that every family has unique needs and varying levels of involvement in their enterprises.
Our approach encompasses comprehensive strategy development and reviews, the implementation of governance frameworks and operational guidelines, and activities designed to engage and involve the Next Generation. We also provide practical support for board meetings and decision-making processes, which may include direct participation in boards and committees, optimising shareholder agreements and corporate structures, managing critical recruitments and incentive schemes, and facilitating dialogue with key stakeholders, partners and providers.
In many cases, we take on the owner strategy implementation, ensuring systematic execution in alignment with the agreed-upon owner strategies. We structure the implementation projects, actively involve the owners and Single Family Office (SFO) resources, and work closely with them in planning and production to ensure projects and progress align with our targets, implementation plan, and overarching owner strategies.
Additionally, our professional team can serve as project managers or provide analytical support for specific transactions, refinancing, and partnership processes.
In today’s competitive landscape, securing the best investment opportunities requires a strategic and collaborative approach. Oslo Family Office supports families in structuring and managing direct investment partnerships, developing and coordinating opportunities among established investment partnerships (IPs), owner families, and other key stakeholders. We help families build a solid foundation for investment decision-making, also ensuring they have the right partners in place for execution and their respective ownership phases.
Our services extend beyond simply identifying or coordinating new direct investment opportunities - we work closely with families as strategic advisor throughout the entire investment process, from sourcing, project management and structuring of deals to ongoing portfolio management support. This ensures that each investment aligns with the family's long-term goals and values, while maximising growth and creating value.
At Oslo Family Office, we understand that individual owners often have unique needs that extend beyond the collective goals of the family. Our Individual Owner Services provide personalised principal support, whether related to private matters or their personal holding company. These services range from accounting and financial management to administrative coordination and practical assistance. We also handle more complex matters, including asset and liquidity planning, transaction support, and investment or portfolio reviews.
To meet these needs, we offer access to our specialised technology platform. This platform provides real-time updates on all assets and accounts, along with insights into transactions and key documents, enabling owners to maintain better day-to-day control of their finances.
Through our tailored approach, we ensure that every family member receives the dedicated attention and expertise they need, empowering them to pursue their individual goals while remaining aligned with the family’s broader vision.
Our experience shows that families who succeed in their ownership stay together for reasons that extend beyond financial returns. By focusing on a family’s unique DNA and values, we develop projects, arenas, and tools that stimulate unity and cooperation across generations. We’re dedicated to helping families turn their shared visions into tangible outcomes, building legacies that last and making an impact locally, nationally, and globally.
