Establish your Danish company with coordinated support for structure selection, incorporation documents, registered-office arrangements and ongoing corporate administration.
Denmark offers an EU business base for local operations and international expansion. A private limited company (ApS) is a common structure for privately owned businesses and subsidiaries. Plan the company around its activities, ownership, management and practical operating needs.
An ApS can generally be established by individual or corporate founders, including foreign owners. Management, founder eligibility, regulated activities and any investment-screening requirements need separate review. A public limited company (A/S) has different capital and governance requirements.
An ApS requires at least DKK 20,000 in share capital. Where the company uses this minimum, the capital must be fully paid. Capital contributions require appropriate confirmation; non-cash contributions have additional valuation rules. Capital is separate from formation fees.
Plan a registered address in Denmark, suitable management appointments and the required incorporation documents. Registration is handled through the Danish Business Authority and Virk, with a CVR number issued upon registration. Confirm signing, capital and digital-access arrangements before filing.
The general Danish corporate income tax rate is 22% of taxable profit. Special sector rules, withholding taxes and international tax arrangements can affect the result. Plan accounting, annual financial statements, corporate tax returns and applicable VAT, payroll and company reporting. Foreign ownership alone does not make a Danish company tax-exempt.
We confirm the checklist for founders, beneficial owners and management, together with the registered address, capital, activities and registration route.

Explore the main considerations for forming and maintaining your Danish limited liability company:
Foreign individuals and corporate founders can generally own an ApS in full, including a single-shareholder company. Founder eligibility, regulated activities, due diligence and any investment-screening requirements must be checked.
No. The minimum share capital is DKK 20,000. An ApS using this minimum must have it fully paid. Capital contributions need appropriate confirmation, and non-cash contributions have additional valuation rules. Capital is separate from professional and registry fees.
An ApS is a private limited company with a DKK 20,000 minimum capital requirement. An A/S is a public limited company with a DKK 400,000 minimum capital requirement and different governance rules. The choice depends on ownership, investment plans and the business.
Yes. Plan a registered address in Denmark and appropriate management arrangements. Incorporation documents, digital administration and any activity-specific permissions must match the intended operations.
No. Immigration and permission to work are separate procedures. Banks independently assess the owners, business purpose, local connection and documents. Incorporation does not guarantee a bank account or personal residence rights.
Maintain accounting and company records, prepare annual financial statements and complete applicable corporate tax and company reporting. Keep ownership, management and address information current. VAT, payroll, audit and digital-bookkeeping requirements depend on the business and statutory rules.
