Norwegian term (edited):
f�mannsselskap
partnership
Neither I nor Google have heard of 'fåmannsselskap', but assuming it's like an 'enkeltpersonsforetak' (personally responsible owner) but with more than one owner, I am sure partnership would cover it nicely.

: unless a limited liability partnership, it cannot be owned. Partners pay in contributions.

: I would assume that they mean "Ansvarlig Selskap" ("ANS"), for which "partnerskap" would be an adeqate translation.
