Business
The ApS and A/S registered digitally at the Danish Business Authority
The private limited company (ApS) and public limited company (A/S) are the main forms, registered online at the Danish Business Authority within days. Registration produces a CVR number used across public administration.
Key rules
- An ApS requires DKK 20,000 in share capital; an A/S requires DKK 400,000.
- Registration is completed digitally through Virk.dk and yields a CVR identifier.
- Beneficial owners must be registered in the public ownership register.
Governing law
- Danish Companies Act (Selskabsloven)
In practice
The entrepreneur company (IVS) was abolished in 2019, so new low-capital ventures now use the ApS with its DKK 20,000 minimum.
