    Common Questions

    Denmark Incorporation FAQs

    Can a US company own 100% of a Denmark ApS (Anpartsselskab)?

    Yes. The EU permits 100% foreign ownership of a Denmark ApS (Anpartsselskab) by a US individual or US corporate parent, with no local shareholder requirement.

    Do I need to be a Denmark resident to be a director?

    No, Denmark does not require directors of a ApS (Anpartsselskab) to be locally resident, though a registered local office address is mandatory and we provide this as part of formation.

    How long does Denmark company registration take?

    Typical registration timelines run 1–2 weeks, depending on document notarisation, apostille processing, and capital deposit requirements.

    What is the corporate tax rate in Denmark?

    Denmark applies 22% standard corporate tax rate. The US-Denmark tax treaty framework and EU parent-subsidiary directive help prevent double taxation on profits repatriated to a US parent.

    Can I use one Denmark entity to trade across the whole EU?

    Yes, once registered in Denmark, the entity can trade, invoice, and register for VAT OSS to sell across all 27 EU member states under the EU single market framework.
