Common questions
EOR (Deel, Globalization Partners) is the faster, lower-cost start for one or a few early hires, with no incorporation. An owned ApS (Commenda) makes sense once Denmark is a real operation: you control the entity, can sign contracts and hold IP locally, and you consolidate it with the rest of your group.
No. Both employ your Danish staff on their own entities. Commenda sets up and manages a Danish ApS that you own.
Deel starts at $599/employee/month (about DKK 4,200), on top of salary and Danish employer costs. Globalization Partners is quote-based, with third-party estimates around $800-1,000+ per employee/month. Commenda's ApS is $4,150 to set up, then ongoing compliance.
A Danish local representative with MitID access is mandatory when your company has no Danish-resident management. Commenda provides one for $3,000/year. On an EOR you do not own the entity, so this sits with the provider.
Yes. Commenda runs Danish payroll for a fixed $900/month for 1 to 8 employees, covering employee taxes, holiday allowances, pensions, and reconciliation, on the entity you own.
About one week end-to-end (structuring, documentation, escrowed share capital, CVR registration and CIT registration), excluding time to gather KYC documents.
