FAQ

Common questions
about Danish
shelf companies.

What is a Danish shelf company (skuffeselskab)?
A skuffeselskab is a pre-registered Danish anpartsselskab (ApS) that already has a CVR number and is registered with Erhvervsstyrelsen. It has never been used for any commercial activity. When you purchase it, we transfer ownership, change the name, and register the new board and beneficial owners on your behalf.
Is a shelf company worth the extra cost?
For foreign buyers, standard incorporation can take a long time due to share capital payment and the registration process at Erhvervsstyrelsen. A shelf company already has an active CVR number, letting you start operating immediately while the transfer registration is completed in a few business days.
Are there any hidden liabilities?
No. Every shelf company is guaranteed clean — zero debt, zero tax obligations, no commercial history. The company has never been used for anything. We provide a full guarantee that the entity is free from any liabilities at the time of transfer.
How do I open a Danish bank account?
We connect you with our Danish banking partners as part of the delivery. This significantly speeds up the account opening process compared to approaching banks independently.
How quickly can I start using the company?
The company is immediately usable with its existing CVR number. Name and board changes are registered with Erhvervsstyrelsen within a few business days. You can use the company and sign contracts from day one.
Can I change the company name?
Yes. Name change is included in the price at no additional cost. We register the new name with Erhvervsstyrelsen as part of the transfer process — there is no separate registration fee for this.
What about beneficial ownership registration?
Registration of beneficial owners (reelle ejere) is required in Denmark and is handled as part of the transfer at no additional cost. Beneficial owners must provide a CPR number or equivalent identification.
Can foreign nationals serve as directors?
Yes. There is no Danish residency requirement for directors. Foreign nationals can serve as directors with valid identification. The entire process is handled digitally, so there is no need to be physically present in Denmark.
