Country overview
About Denmark
Denmark is a constitutional monarchy in Northern Europe, comprising the Jutland peninsula and a large island group. Copenhagen is the capital and the largest city. About 6 million people live here. It has a land border with Germany and sea frontiers with Sweden and Norway. Danish is the official language. The currency is the krone (DKK), not the euro.
Denmark joined the European Communities in 1973 and is in the European Union and in Schengen. It has an opt-out from the euro. Copenhagen is a major Nordic business city, with a high-income services, shipping, life-sciences and industrial economy and close ties to Sweden and Germany. English is widely used in business. The legal system is civil law.
Brikseka forms Danish companies. The usual vehicle is an anpartsselskab (ApS). No local director is required. Company documents can often be prepared remotely; identification, banking, or immigration may still require travel.
We then advise on a business bank account and payment gateways such as Stripe and PayPal. Danish banks typically expect MitID and a local connection. Approvals are decided by the providers. If your aim is to live in Denmark, company formation is not a residence permit — that is a separate immigration file, which we also advise on.
Company formation
We form an ApS with Danish counsel, then stay with the file through banking and payments.

How we work
From briefing to a registered company

After the company exists, we prepare applications for a business account and payment gateways.
