Tech startups — SkatteFUNN, options and SAFE

The Norwegian tech scene is Scandinavia's fastest growing: Oslo, Trondheim, Bergen. Startups leverage SkatteFUNN (R&D credit 18-20 % tax deduction), employee options (RF-1238), SAFE/convertible notes, and Innovation Norway grants. 4b2b supports cap table maintenance, options vesting tracking, SkatteFUNN reporting, and SAFE conversion.

01
Challenge

You have 8 employees with options — how do you report this in A-melding?

Answer

The options module logs grant date, exercise price, vesting schedule. When an option is exercised, payroll tax (52 % marginal) is calculated and reported in A-melding automatically via RF-1238.

02
Challenge

You applied for SkatteFUNN and must document R&D hours + costs.

Answer

R&D ledger: each developer hour tied to a SkatteFUNN project, costs (salary × hour, infrastructure) aggregated. Generate RF-1053 annually.

03
Challenge

You closed a seed round with SAFE — how do you handle it in the cap table?

Answer

The SAFE module records valuation cap, discount, MFN. When conversion triggers (next round), it automatically computes share count + new ownership stake per investor.
