A CASE STUDY

Scaling beyond the Nordics.

Supporting Findable’s move into the UK

When Nordic tech companies expand internationally, success rarely hinges on product alone. The real challenge lies in building the operational foundations that support smooth, scalable growth. 

For Findable, an AI-powered platform transforming property management through automation, the next phase of growth meant expanding beyond Norway and establishing a presence in the United Kingdom. With strong market pull, strategic partnerships and ambitious growth plans, the opportunity was clear, but so were the complexities. That’s where Amesto Global and Amesto AccountHouse came in.

OUR CLIENT

Findable is an AI-powered platform for property management. Their automation tools help facility managers ensure compliance, reduce risk, lower costs and build more profitable properties. Headquartered in Norway, the company is scaling rapidly and preparing for further international growth. 

With increasing demand in the UK market, Findable needed to move beyond testing the market and build a real, scalable presence.

THE CHALLENGE: From opportunity to execution

Expanding internationally sounds straightforward in theory. But in practice, it introduces a web of important operational decisions:

  • How do we structure a UK entity correctly from day one? 
  • How do we move from a PEO setup to direct employment without disruption? 
  • How do we ensure compliance across payroll, tax and reporting? 
  • How do we build a finance infrastructure that supports future fundraising and further expansion? 

Findable had already validated the UK as a high-potential market. The priority now was speed, without compromising on quality, compliance or scalability.

“The UK is a large, mature market for real estate and compliance where our platform solves a clear, urgent need. We already had customer pull and strategic partners there, so establishing a UK entity allowed us to hire locally, contract efficiently, and serve customers faster.”

OUR SOLUTION: Building infrastructure for long-term growth

 

Rather than treating this as a simple entity setup, Amesto Global approached the engagement with a broader lens, aiming to build a financial and operational infrastructure that would support Findable’s growth long-term. Working closely with Findable and in collaboration with our Amesto AccountHouse colleagues in Norway, Amesto Global supported the expansion outside of the Nordics end-to-end:

  • Structuring and incorporating the UK entity 

  • Handling initial registrations and governance requirements 

  • Enabling compliant employment and payroll for UK hires

  • Supporting customer contracting and invoicing 

  • Establishing robust ongoing accounting and compliance processes 

  • Acting as a central coordination point across jurisdictions 

Our focus was on keeping things simple and effective, removing friction, identifying issues early and setting the company up to scale. 

“Amesto is fast, efficient, and genuinely nice to work with. They’re proactive and pragmatic, anticipating issues and offering solutions rather than just options”, says Håkon Kalbakk.

The impact: Speed, clarity and operational leverage 

For Findable, the value went beyond ticking regulatory boxes. The engagement directly supported their ability to move quickly in a competitive market while maintaining confidence in their foundations.

Speed to market

With the operational groundwork handled, Findable’s leadership team could focus on hiring, partnerships and customers, not administration distractions.

Reduced risk

From entity structure to employment compliance and tax considerations, Findable gained assurance that their UK operations were set up correctly.

Operational leverage

The Amesto teams effectively became an extension of Findable’s internal team, providing continuity and practical guidance as the business evolved. 

A true partnership 
Rather than acting as a passive service provider, Amesto Global played an active advisory role, helping Findable make decisions quickly and sensibly as new questions emerged about the UK market. 

“Amesto acts like an extension of our team, freeing us to focus on growth. They guided our UK expansion end to end — from setting up the entity to onboarding employees and serving customers — with speed, precision, and proactive, pragmatic advice”, says Håkon Kalbakk.

Supporting Nordic companies scaling internationally with One Amesto 

Findable’s journey reflects a broader pattern we see across high-growth Nordic companies: strong products, strong traction and a growing need for scalable, cross-border infrastructure. At Amesto Global, we specialize in supporting companies through exactly these moments of transition, helping Founders and leadership teams expand internationally with clarity, confidence and the right foundations in place. 

What makes this possible is our One Amesto approach. By working closely with our colleagues at Amesto AccountHouse in the Nordics and across the wider Amesto group, clients benefit the scale of an international group without the headache of managing multiple service providers.  With teams on the ground in the Nordics, across Europe and in the US, we combine global coordination with practical, local insight into regulations, compliance and ways of doing business. The result is smoother expansion, fewer handovers and infrastructure that supports long-term growth, not just market entry. 

For Findable, that meant moving faster in the UK with fewer operational barriers. For other Nordic companies scaling internationally, it means having a partner built for the journey ahead.
