Document background
The Deed of Association (stiftelsesdokument) is a mandatory document required under Danish law when establishing a new company. This fundamental document must be prepared in accordance with the Danish Companies Act and serves as the founding charter of the company. It contains crucial information about the company's formation, including details of founders, share capital, subscription terms, and management structure. The document is typically prepared when entrepreneurs or businesses decide to establish a new company in Denmark, whether as a private limited company (ApS) or a public limited company (A/S). The Deed of Association must be signed by all founding members and submitted to the Danish Business Authority along with other required documentation for company registration. It forms part of the company's permanent records and serves as evidence of proper incorporation under Danish law.
