Why Register a Company in Denmark? Unlock Europe’s Business Gateway

Denmark ranks as one of Europe’s top destinations for startups and foreign investors, thanks to its stable economy, innovative ecosystem, and entrepreneur-friendly policies. With low corporate taxes (22% for most businesses), minimal social security contributions (just 1% for employers), and equal rights for foreign-owned companies, setting up here is straightforward and cost-effective. Whether you’re launching a tech venture or expanding globally, Denmark offers free market access without restrictions on most activities.

Choose between ApS (limited liability company) for asset protection or sole proprietorship for simplicity and low startup costs. Radner handles all formalities, from name checks to CVR registration, ensuring compliance with the Danish Business Authority (Erhvervsstyrelsen).
