How to rent an office in Copenhagen: a step-by-step guide

Renting an office in Copenhagen

Start by deciding how much space you need — a common rule of thumb is 8–12 m² per employee for a traditional office, less for a hot-desk setup. Then choose a district: the centre for prestige and transport, Amager and the western suburbs for value.

Danish commercial leases are usually flexible, with deposits of three to six months typical. Check what is included in the rent (service charges, cleaning, internet) and whether the space is fitted or shell-and-core. For a fast, low-commitment start, a serviced office or coworking desk lets you move in within days.

Browse the listings, shortlist a few buildings, and send a request — you deal directly with the owner or operator, with no broker in between.
