Common questions
Yes. An ApS can have a single non-resident shareholder, and no local or EEA-resident director is required. Commenda, OnDemand International, and Dania Accounting all register ApS companies for foreign owners.
A Danish local representative with MitID access is mandatory when your company has no Danish-resident management, so it can interact with government systems. Commenda provides one for $3,000/year.
For a Denmark-only company, Dania Accounting bundles setup and Danish accounting at lower cost, and OnDemand International suits a one-off advisory market entry. Commenda is the better fit for a cross-border group: it manages Denmark alongside entities in other countries, with transfer pricing and consolidation.
Commenda is $4,150 for the ApS (entity registration, government and legal fees, CIT registration). Dania Accounting is around DKK 9,273.75 including VAT. OnDemand International is quote-based. Minimum share capital of DKK 20,000 is escrowed capital, not a fee.
No. The minimum share capital goes through a Danish law-firm escrow account and is released once the ApS is registered. Commenda can assist with bank account opening afterward; timelines vary by bank.
About one week end-to-end with Commenda (structuring, documentation, escrowed share capital, CVR registration and CIT registration), excluding time to gather KYC documents.
