Company and ownership
An ApS is a private limited liability company and an A/S a public limited company. Registration is handled by the Danish Business Authority; online filing requires suitable identification credentials.
What the tax model should cover
Model corporate profit, VAT, owner distributions and employment costs in Denmark. For an international structure define the roles of local management and the overseas team in advance.
Registration and ongoing obligations
Preparation centres on the incorporation document, articles and evidence of capital. Check document language, filing method and the suitability of standard forms for the proposed owners.
Banking, payments and documentation
For bank discussions we prepare an ownership chart, business description, contracts and expected cash flows. We map counterparties’ countries, currencies and sources of funds. Check the availability of the specific bank and payment product before launch; the bank makes the account-opening decision.
Personal plans and implementation
If the project includes relocation or the owner working for the company, assess the immigration route and personal tax residence separately. The launch plan should identify the sequence of steps, local providers, documents and recurring costs. A short business overview and the participants’ intended roles are enough for the initial discussion.
Before we talk
What helps us get started.
A short overview is enough. We can agree the documents and details after discussing your needs.
- Activities, markets and expected counterparties
- Owners, management and where decisions will be made
- Expected income, costs and international payments
- Premises, staffing and personal relocation needs
Common questions
Where should structure selection start?
Start with the activity, owners and geography of operations, then compare legal form, tax treatment and ongoing administration costs.
Can timing and cost be confirmed immediately?
We estimate these after reviewing the participants, activity and required local procedures, separating launch costs from recurring expenses.
