Business forms - what is right for you?

There is a range of different business forms to choose from in Denmark. In this section, IDA guides you on which business form best suits your situation, and describes the advantages and disadvantages of the different business forms.

When starting up your own business, you have to decide which type of business you want to establish.

Before deciding on the type of business, you should familiarise yourself with the different business forms and what characterises them. Which business form is right for you depends on a number of different factors, such as: the risk you are willing to take, the capital you have available, the accounting requirements you are able and willing to comply with, the tax implications of the business form, etc.
