The Memorandum and Articles of Association is a mandatory document required under Danish law for incorporating and operating a company in Denmark. This document is essential when establishing a new company or restructuring an existing one, and must comply with the Danish Companies Act (Selskabsloven). It serves two primary functions: the Memorandum portion documents the company's formation and initial shareholders, while the Articles portion sets out the rules and regulations governing the company's operations. The document must be filed with the Danish Business Authority (Erhvervsstyrelsen) as part of the company registration process and becomes a matter of public record. It establishes everything from share capital requirements and shareholder rights to management structure and corporate governance procedures, making it a fundamental reference point throughout the company's lifecycle.
