About
We build marketplaces that make hard choices easier.
Nettbureau builds and operates marketplaces that help people find and compare the right providers for services that can be expensive, unfamiliar or difficult to choose. For businesses, that means access to real demand. It has also turned out to be a good way to build a company. We have been profitable every year since 2011, across fifteen countries and without outside money.
The company
Real needs. Right providers. Better deals.
A person comes to one of our marketplaces with something they need done. We help them reach relevant providers, compare their options and make a more informed choice. The providers get demand from people who are actively looking for what they offer.
Behind that simple experience is technology we have built ourselves: marketplaces that attract demand, matching that decides where each request should go, and Leadkit, where providers manage what happens next.
Most of the work stays close to us. Product, technology and commercial teams work closely together, so what we learn from users and providers can quickly turn into changes in the product. That is how the marketplaces keep getting better as we grow.
Where we came from, where we are going
Many marketplaces. One engine. Not finished.
We still solve the same problem. Just on a much bigger scale.
Then
A single marketplace, a single country.
We started with one idea: a person with a real need should not have to call ten companies to find out what something costs. That first marketplace paid for the second, and the second for the third.
Now
Fifteen countries. Millions of decisions. Still the same idea.
What began as one Norwegian marketplace now spans 15 countries and more than 100 services. Every year, more than one million leads come through our marketplaces, connecting people with more than 3,000 businesses.
The markets are different, but the basic job is the same: understand what someone needs, find the providers best suited to help, and make the choice easier.
Next
More markets. More services. Better choices.
We have learned how to take what works into new markets without pretending every market is the same. Technology and experience travel well. Trust, local knowledge and strong providers still have to be built locally.
Both sides of the deal
Better for the person choosing. Better for the business delivering.
Every market we run has two parties trying to reach each other. A business with capacity to sell, and someone with a real need to buy. We help both of them land a better deal than they would have found alone.
For businesses
Demand with a reason behind it.
Providers meet people who are actively looking for what they offer, matched by location, service and other relevant criteria.
For people
More than one option.
Tell us what you need and we help you reach relevant providers who are interested in the job. That makes it easier to compare price, fit and terms before deciding.
Where we operate
Sectors we know properly.
Energy & renewables
Solar, heat pumps, electricity contracts and efficiency work - the everyday decisions behind Europe's energy transition.
Property & construction
Renovation, roofing, windows and the trades people rarely buy twice in a lifetime.
Telecom & connectivity
Broadband, mobile and business connectivity, compared on what a household or company actually uses.
Professional services
Law, accounting, insurance and real estate, matched to what the customer actually needs.
Built differently on purpose
Built in-house. Grown profitably. Built for local markets.
Three principles behind how we build and grow.
Built in-house
We build the technology behind our marketplaces ourselves.
That means the people working here can change the product, not just operate it.
Grown from the business
We have grown profitably without outside funding.
Reinvesting in new products, people and markets along the way.
Local where it matters
The technology is shared. The market is local.
Customers, providers and ways of doing business differ from market to market. We build with that in mind.
The team
Built by people who like building.
We are around a hundred people from more than twenty nationalities, working across technology, marketplaces, sales and operations.
Engineers sit next to commercial teams, which is why an idea can go from conversation to product in a week. We are large enough to operate across markets, but still small enough for one person to change how something works.
