Corporate secretarial in Denmark

Corporate secretarial work is the paperwork that keeps a Danish company in good standing after it is formed. Management is responsible for registering the beneficial owners through the authority’s portal, and the registration itself is free of charge. The rest is a register of owners, minutes of meetings, changes of directors or addresses and the filings that follow.

Ask a provider which of these it handles and which stay with you. Ask who holds the company’s records, how it records a change of board or owner, and how quickly it files a change after you approve it. If you run a group, ask whether it can keep the Danish entities in line with the foreign parent’s calendar.

Accountanty shows four firms in Denmark that offer corporate secretarial services: two accounting firms and two corporate service providers. Two are small and two belong to large networks. English is offered by all four and Danish by two. Real estate and family offices are the industries named most, and all four are in Copenhagen. The Denmark guide and company formation in Denmark set out the steps before this.

Frequently asked questions

What does a corporate secretary do for a Danish company?

It keeps the company's records and filings in order: owners and board changes, minutes and registrations with the authority. Ask for a written list of what the service includes.

Who registers the beneficial owners?

The company's management is responsible for it, and the duty applies even when the owner is a foreign company. Ask whether the firm prepares the filing and who on your side approves it.

Can I handle the filings myself from abroad?

Some portal services require MitID and are in Danish, which is why many foreign owners use a provider. Ask whether the firm acts under your instruction and keeps copies for you.
