Registration of foreign company in Denmark

In today’s globalised world, foreign companies often face the challenge of navigating Denmark’s complex business requirements. Registering your company correctly is vital for compliance and seamless project execution. 

At Crossbord, we specialise in guiding foreign companies through these challenges. Our holistic approach, covering everything from legal advice to practical implementation, ensures your business can successfully establish and operate in Denmark.

Challenges of Registration

Registering a foreign company in Denmark is far from a mere formality. It is a complex process that demands a thorough understanding of Danish rules and regulations. Many companies are unaware that even short-term projects can trigger registration requirements, especially when establishing a permanent establishment, dealing with social security issues, or using a local payroll agent.

For example, if there is a permanent establishment, registration must occur from the first day of activity in Denmark. This is particularly crucial in the construction and engineering sectors, where projects often span many months. Without proper registration, companies risk significant fines and legal issues, which can jeopardise both the project’s progress and the company’s reputation.

Crossbord’s Approach to the Solution

Crossbord offers a comprehensive solution that covers the entire registration process from start to finish. Our team of experts works closely with clients to ensure all aspects of the registration are addressed, including:

We gather all necessary information and documents to ensure a seamless registration process.

We assess whether registration is required based on the nature and duration of the project.

Crossbord handles all steps of the registration, from applications to signatures and approvals.

We can act as the authorised representative for the company and manage communications with Danish authorities.

Once the registration is complete, Crossbord can also assist with other registrations, such as CVR/Erhvervsstyrelsen, MitID, and NemKonto. Our goal is to make the process as simple and efficient as possible for our clients.

Case Studies

Construction Project

A foreign company needed to execute a construction project in Denmark with a duration of 8-14 months. All employees were from abroad, and the project established a permanent establishment in Denmark. Crossbord managed the entire registration process, ensured compliance with Danish regulations, and acted as the company’s authorised representative.

Home Office in Denmark

Another company hired Danish employees to work from home offices in Denmark. Although the work primarily took place in Denmark, there was uncertainty about the registration requirements. Crossbord analysed the situation, determined the need for registration, and executed the process smoothly.

Establishing a Branch

A foreign company wanted to establish a branch in Denmark. Crossbord assisted with all necessary registrations and ensured that the branch complied with all local regulations, allowing the company a smooth transition into the Danish market.

Specific Registration Requirements and Regulations

Foreign companies providing services in Denmark must register with the RUT (Register of Foreign Service Providers). Crossbord ensures all necessary RUT registrations are completed accurately and on time.

If a company’s employees are covered by Danish social security, specific registration is required. Crossbord navigates these complex requirements to ensure full compliance.

A permanent establishment is a fixed place of business from which a company’s activities are partially or wholly conducted. Identifying when a company meets this criterion is crucial, as it triggers registration requirements. Crossbord conducts thorough analyses to determine the need for registration.

Offshore companies operating under hydrocarbon tax rules face unique challenges and requirements. Crossbord handles all registrations and compliance requirements effectively, allowing the company to focus on its core activities.
