What Are Ready Made Shelf Companies in Denmark?

Ready Made Shelf Companies in Denmark are legally incorporated Danish companies that have been registered in advance but have never traded. These pre-registered companies remain dormant until purchased, meaning they have no business activity, liabilities, or operational history.

Once acquired, ownership is transferred to the buyer, allowing the business to begin trading far quicker than through standard company registration in Denmark. This structure is commonly used by entrepreneurs and investors who require instant company setup, contractual credibility, or accelerated market access while remaining fully compliant with Danish corporate regulations.

Ready made companies are often referred to as shelf companies, pre-incorporated companies, or ready companies for sale, and are widely used in international business structuring where timing, credibility, and administrative efficiency matter.

Advantages of Buying a Ready-Made Shelf Company in Denmark

Ready Made Shelf Companies in Denmark provide several commercially practical benefits when compared with new company formation:

Immediate availability

Ownership transfer allows faster operational readiness than starting from scratch

Clean corporate history

No trading activity, liabilities, or debts

Enhanced credibility

An older incorporation date can support supplier, client, or tender confidence

Administrative efficiency

Avoids delays linked to initial registration processes

Strategic flexibility

Suitable for UK and international entrepreneurs entering the Danish market

Popular Types of Danish Shelf Companies

Denmark does not recognise multiple "types" of shelf companies as separate legal forms. Instead, shelf companies differ by corporate structure, age, and intended use. Below are all legitimate and commonly offered types of Danish shelf companies, explained clearly.

Private Limited Company (ApS)
The ApS (Anpartsselskab) is the standard and most widely used Danish shelf company structure. It offers limited liability protection, meaning shareholders' personal assets are separated from company obligations.

Suitable for: SMEs, startups, professional service firms, and international founders

Aged Shelf Companies
Aged shelf companies are ApS entities incorporated earlier and kept dormant since formation. They have no trading history, liabilities, or assets, but benefit from an older registration date in the Danish Central Business Register (CVR).

Suitable for: Businesses wanting increased credibility with partners or suppliers, support for tender applications

Non-Trading (Dormant) Shelf Companies
All legitimate Danish shelf companies are non-trading by design, but this category highlights companies that have never conducted any commercial activity and have filed nil or dormant returns where applicable.

Suitable for: Buyers wanting a clean corporate history, no inherited liabilities, straightforward due diligence

International-Use Shelf Companies
These are ApS shelf companies structured with non-resident ownership in mind. They are suitable for UK and overseas investors who require a Danish corporate presence while managing operations internationally.

Suitable for: EU market entry, holding structures, and international trading operations

Optional Add-On Services

Bank Account Assistance

Opening a bank account for a Danish company can be challenging, particularly for non-resident owners. Leadforce provides bank account assistance to help prepare your company for account applications with both UK and international financial institutions.

Our support focuses on ensuring your Danish company is structurally and administratively ready, including guidance on documentation, compliance positioning, and application preparation. While bank approval decisions remain with the financial institutions, our bank account assistance significantly improves the quality and readiness of your application, helping to reduce delays and unnecessary rejections.

What Our Bank Account Assistance Covers

  • Guidance on suitable banking options
  • Preparation and review of required corporate documentation
  • Compliance positioning to meet bank onboarding standards
  • Support throughout the application and follow-up stages

CVR & VAT Registration in Denmark

All companies in Denmark, including Ready Made Shelf Companies, must have a CVR number — a unique identifier used for taxation, contracts, and official records. Leadforce ensures your CVR details are correctly updated after ownership transfer, keeping your company fully compliant.

If your business meets the VAT threshold or trades within the EU, VAT registration is required. We guide you through the process, prepare the necessary documentation, and submit your application to ensure your company can operate legally and trade without delay.
