Document background
A Memorandum of Incorporation is a mandatory document required under Danish law when establishing a new company. This document must be filed with the Danish Business Authority (Erhvervsstyrelsen) as part of the company registration process. It contains crucial information about the company's formation, including the founders' details, share capital structure, management appointments, and other essential elements required by the Danish Companies Act. The document serves as evidence of the company's legal formation and, along with the Articles of Association, forms the foundation for the company's legal existence. The Memorandum must comply with specific requirements set out in Danish corporate legislation and is typically drafted with professional legal assistance to ensure all regulatory requirements are met. This document is particularly important as it establishes the initial framework within which the company will operate and serves as a reference point for future corporate actions.
