The help is always close by

Starting a business might feel like a huge and lonely journey. But it doesn’t have to be like that.

In Denmark, the help is always close by in the form of local business centres and regional cross-municipal business hubs that provide a range of services and support to entrepreneurs, startups, and scaleups.

These centers and hubs are designed to provide a supportive environment for companies of all shapes and sizes to grow and thrive. And typically, they have a lot to offer free of charge as they are usually funded by the public authorities.

Services

Most municipalities in Denmark have a local business service centre for new entrepreneurs. Their services typically include 1:1 guidance on starting, running and developing your own business, as well as events on basic business topics. Only a fraction of these local business service centres is listed in this guide and only as examples.

In addition, there are 6 regional business hubs in Denmark. These hubs provide specialized guidance and act as the entry point to the business promotion system for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The service includes for example specialized 1:1 guidance, training and workshops on topics such as marketing and finance, assistance with business development, access to funding opportunities, networking events, etc.
