When you register a company in Denmark, your address becomes publicly available via the CVR register. Many entrepreneurs overlook this and end up using their private home address. This can have unwanted consequences for your privacy.
Why does a private address become public for business owners?
When you register a CVR number with the Danish Business Authority, you must provide an address. This address automatically becomes publicly available in the CVR register. With a professional business address at Flexum Coworking, you can protect your private address from being searchable and visible to everyone.
It is a legal requirement for businesses to have a registered address that the public can contact. However, it does not have to be your private home address.
A common issue: Unwanted visitors from e-commerce (B2C)
If you run a webshop or another type of B2C business, dissatisfied customers may show up at your private address. Customers who want to return items or complain about an order can find your address via the CVR register.
In the worst case, this can lead to unpleasant confrontations at your home, where you and your family live.
Separating work and private life: A healthy boundary
Even without direct confrontations, there is good reason to keep work and private life separate. When your private address is available as your business address, you are, in principle, inviting the whole world into your personal space.
A separate business address allows you to maintain this natural boundary between your professional and private life.
Marketing materials: A credible professional identity
Your business address is not only shown in the CVR register. It will also appear on invoices, contracts, business cards, and your website.
A professional business address in a recognised business district signals credibility and stability to potential customers and partners.
The path to a separate business address: Virtual Office
A virtual office gives you a professional business address without the high costs of a physical office. You get:
A registered business address for CVR and public correspondence
Mail handling where your mail is received and can be forwarded
Access to meeting rooms when you need to meet with clients
