Accountants for foreign clients in Denmark

In Denmark the owner does not need to live in the country to found a company: the registry guidance sets no special requirement on a founder’s nationality or residence. The obstacles come afterwards. The online registration portal is in Danish, and the self-service route asks for a Danish CPR number and a MitID or an approved foreign eID, so many foreign owners rely on an accountant to deal with the authorities for them.

When you compare firms, begin with language and with the client groups on the profile: foreign companies entering Denmark, international groups, investors or Polish-speaking entrepreneurs. Then check which entity types it handles, since a branch, a subsidiary and an ApS call for different filings, and whether it works with your home-country advisers or your group auditor.

Accountanty shows 20 firms in Denmark with a focus on foreign clients: 18 accounting firms and two corporate service providers. Ten are small, six medium-sized and four part of large networks. English and Danish are each offered by 18 and Polish by two. Six handle branches and six ApS companies. See the pages for Copenhagen and Aarhus, the Denmark guide, or ask for a quote.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to live in Denmark to own a company there?

The registry guidance sets no special requirement on a founder's nationality or residence. Management and banking arrangements may still have their own conditions, which a firm can explain.

Can I register without a Danish MitID?

There is a route for a non-Danish company that goes by form and email rather than the Danish digital login. Ask the firm whether it will handle the registration on your behalf.

How do I pick a firm that suits a foreign owner?

Look at languages, the entity types it handles and the client groups on its profile, then ask for what the fee covers. You can also send one free quote request through Accountanty.
