Overview
Tjenestetorget.no is a Norwegian price-comparison and quote-request platform that lets consumers submit a single request and receive multiple offers from competing suppliers. Founded in 2004 by Asbjørn Sauesund, an entrepreneur from Arendal, it began as a website for gathering quotes on insurance, heat pumps and home alarms, and has since been described as one of the largest price-comparison players in Norway. The service covers categories such as broadband, insurance, estate agents, heat pumps, electricity, legal services, mobile subscriptions and TV packages. The company has changed ownership several times. Local newspaper Budstikka became a 60% owner in 2010 and sole owner in 2013. Tjenestetorget bought 50% of Anbudstorget.no AS in 2017. In 2021 Budstikka sold tjenestetorget.no to the investment company Kistefos and its 1881 Group. On 1 March 2026 the Tjenestetorget group underwent a major rebranding in which Anbudstorget was renamed Fixa, and it was decided to integrate Tjenestetorget under the same brand. The restructuring aimed to establish a larger shared tender portal for the Scandinavian market and to challenge Scandinavian competitors. In the same connection, the Danish company Håndværker.dk was acquired in March 2026 to strengthen the effort further. Tjenestetorget also operates Prisradar.no, a comparison service where users can compare prices on consumer products such as mobile phones, kitchen equipment and small electronics. The group also includes Tjenestetorget Finans, a loan agent, and Fixa, a marketplace for craftsman services. The platform claims more than one million satisfied users across Norway.
History
Tjenestetorget.no was started in 2004 by Asbjørn Sauesund, an entrepreneur from Arendal. It began as a website for gathering quotes from various suppliers of insurance, heat pumps and home alarms. Over time it expanded into a broad price-comparison service for products and services including insurance, electricity contracts, legal services and estate agents, and has been described as one of the largest players in Norway in price comparison. Ownership evolved through several stages. The local newspaper Budstikka became a 60% owner in 2010 and sole owner in 2013. In 2017 Tjenestetorget bought 50% of Anbudstorget.no AS. In 2021 Budstikka sold tjenestetorget.no to the investment company Kistefos and its 1881 Group. On 1 March 2026 the Tjenestetorget group carried out a comprehensive rebranding in which Anbudstorget changed its name to Fixa. As part of a broader strategy to gather the group's services under one brand, it was also decided to integrate Tjenestetorget under the same brand. The purpose of the restructuring was to establish a larger shared tender portal for the Scandinavian market and to challenge Scandinavian competitors. In the same connection, the Danish company Håndværker.dk was acquired in March 2026 to strengthen the effort further. Tjenestetorget also runs Prisradar.no, a comparison service where users can compare prices on consumer products such as mobile phones, kitchen equipment and small electronics. The group's other offerings include Tjenestetorget Finans, a loan agent, and Fixa, a marketplace for craftsman services.
