Company Formation Denmark
Introduction to Denmark incorporation
Denmark's liberal approach to life in general is mirrored in its attitude to companies coming in from abroad. The business climate is benign, notwithstanding high labour costs. Opening a company in Denmark is straightforward, thanks to a streamlined regulatory regime and more than 2,500 foreign companies already operate in the capital, Copenhagen. Denmark has double-taxation treaties with more than 80 countries.
