Is a foreign business partner looking to establish a presence in Denmark? Or do you have international colleagues who need to understand Danish business practices? Our English-language guide is a great place to start.

There are many issues to consider when a company enters the Danish market. How does one establish a business? What are the rules regarding employees? And what do you need to know about taxes, sales tax, and accounting?

In *Doing Business in Denmark 2026* BUUS JENSEN, as a Danish member of the UHY network, has contributed an overview of the key factors involved in establishing and operating a business in Denmark.

From Establishment to Financial Reporting

The guide is intended primarily for foreign companies and investors considering doing business in Denmark. Among other things, it covers:

• The Danish Business Climate and Foreign Investment.
• Establishment and Selection of a Business Structure.
• Labor Market and Employment Conditions.
• Taxes and sales tax.
• Bookkeeping, accounting, and reporting.

It can also be used by Danish companies that need to provide international owners, colleagues, or business partners with an introduction to Danish business practices.

Local insight with international connections
