When starting up business in Denmark we considered getting assistance from one of the big audit companies. But they were very inflexible and weren’t able to adjust their solutions to our situation and needs. This is not an issue with Azets! Their solution is flexible and contains it all.

Registration of your business
Once you have decided to start a business in Denmark, one of the first things you need to decide is whether to establish a permanent establishment or a representative office. There are some important differencies between the two types, for example the tax liabilities. Azets can act as your registered agent in Denmark, assisting with the necessary documentation and ensuring compliance with local regulations.
Digitalisation: You need a digital profile
In Denmark, many of the public authorities and processes are digitised, and therefore, you very early in the process need a so-called MitID solution, which allows you to log into various self-service solutions from the public and private sector. Besides MitID you need a digital postbox (eBoks) and a certain bank account called Easy Account.
Do you know the Danish Bookkeeping Act?
All commercial companies in Denmark must comply with the Danish Bookkeeping Act, which also applies to business activities in Denmark by foreign companies. By choosing Azets as your partner, you can feel completely safe with the guarantee that your accounts comply with Danish legislation. Our corporate secretarial services ensure that your company meets all statutory requirements, including maintaining accurate records and timely filings.
Need employees in Denmark?
Danish employment law is governed by legislation and collective agreements. The legislation concerns various general issues such as the legal relationship between employer and employee.
Wages and social costs
When you as an employer pay wages or fees, you must report this to the Danish Customs and Tax Administration (SKAT). You have to be registered as an employer on the website virk.dk and registered as a user of the solution eIncome before you can get started.
20+ years of experience
