Form a Wyoming LLC from Denmark — Bill US Customers in USD

Denmark punches far above its weight in software, life sciences, gaming (IO Interactive, Playdead) and remote consultancy. Danish founders typically operate through an anpartsselskab (ApS) or a sole-proprietor enkeltmandsvirksomhed. Both work smoothly inside Denmark and the EU — but the friction becomes obvious the second you sign your first six-figure US contract: SWIFT fees, DKK/USD spread, and US enterprise procurement staff asking for a US tax ID.

A Wyoming LLC solves the operational layer without disturbing your Danish entity. You get a US EIN, a US bank account (Mercury, Relay, Wise Business), full Stripe US, PayPal US and a clean W-9. Your ApS continues to serve the Danish and EU book of business. We file the Wyoming LLC in 48 hours with registered agent, operating agreement and state fees included.

Wyoming outperforms Delaware for Danish owners on both cost and privacy: no state income tax, no franchise tax, no public member registry and the strongest LLC charging-order protection in the US. CVR is transparent by Danish policy design; Wyoming adds an anonymous, low-overhead US layer purely for cross-border revenue.

Owning a foreign entity as a Danish tax resident is legal. Denmark taxes worldwide income, so LLC distributions and, in narrow fact patterns, imputed CFC income must be reported to Skattestyrelsen. A Copenhagen cross-border adviser will run the specific analysis — for active-income founders the CFC concern is usually minimal and the operational upside is significant.

Denmark's two most common vehicles are the anpartsselskab (ApS, DKK 40 000 minimum capital since the IVS phase-out) and the enkeltmandsvirksomhed for solo operators. Both work well for Danish and EU customers but neither gives you Stripe US, a US bank account or a W-9.

The stack most Danish founders end up on is: keep the ApS for Danish and EU revenue where holding-company and dividend rules are advantageous, and add the Wyoming LLC as the entity that contracts directly with US customers. Cash flows from the LLC either into the ApS as arm's-length service payments or to you personally as distributions, with treatment coordinated by your Danish revisor.

Solo operators with mostly US revenue often skip the ApS and run a lean Wyoming-only setup with a small enkeltmandsvirksomhed for residual Danish work. Get in touch — we can introduce you to a Copenhagen or Aarhus cross-border adviser.
