When establishing or expanding a production facility in Denmark, companies must navigate a comprehensive regulatory process to ensure compliance with all municipal and national requirements. This may involve obtaining multiple permits and approvals – sometimes over 20 depending on the project. While the process is thorough to uphold high standards, it can at times be complex to coordinate across different authorities.
The Danish Business Authority’s One Stop Shop offers to provide clarity, efficiency, and dedicated support throughout the entire journey.
The One-Stop Shop Offers:
- Legally defined processing time limits: Receive a guaranteed case processing time of 12–18 months for the required permits and approvals
- Comprehensive and consolidated timeline: Get a single, consolidated approval plan tailored to your project, giving you an overview of permits, exemptions and more. Early coordination across authorities ensures predictability
- Personal dedicated coordinator: Benefit from having a coordinator within the Danish Business Authority who will manage and coordinate the entire permitting process across municipal and national authorities, from application to ground-breaking.
