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.

Offices in Copenhagen are advertised from 840 kr to 127 730 kr per month. A quarter of the 5252 available lots are listed below 5570 kr a month and the median asking price is 13 500 kr. Converted to a rate that is 1944–3276 kr per m² per year. What you actually pay depends on the district, the floor and the length of the lease.

For serviced and flexible offices the monthly figure normally covers the office itself, the service charge, building insurance, cleaning of the common areas, reception and security, heating, lighting and internet. Outside it: parking, meeting rooms beyond the included credits, dedicated IT and any fit-out you ask for. A conventional lease includes almost none of this.
