stående virksomhed

Danish to English Bus/Financial Investment / Securities

My guess is "permanent business" but I'm not sure.

Selskabets formål er alene at eje andel i et selskab eller interessentskab der driver IT virksomhed samt anden i forbindelse hermed stående virksomhed.

Thanks for any help.

Danish term (edited): i forbindelse hermed stående virksomhed

Selected

company associated with this

I think this is just a Danish officialese 'sætningsknude'

Try reading it as:

Selskabets formål er alene at eje andel
i et selskab eller interessentskab der driver IT virksomhed
samt anden virksomhed /stående/der står/ i forbindelse hermed.

Carries on related business is another way of putting it - or anything smarter that fits your context.

There should be a comma of course, if you read it as

...
samt anden virksomhed, der står i forbindelse hermed.

Peer comment(s):

agree	David Koppel : Yes, "stående" seems to refer back to "i forbindelse hermed". However, I think that "company" should be replaced by "business" because "business activity" seems to be understood here and not a "company". 1 day 6 hrs
	Thanks - you should have left your answer visible IMHO. You are quite right. Moral: don't answer KudoZ under the influence of migraine medication, however happy you feel!
agree	Susanne Rosenberg : Er også enig med David: "Virksomhed" kan også opfattes i betydningen "forretningsaktiviteter", dvs. "Selskabets formål er at eje andel i et selskab (...) samt [drive] anden hertil knyttet/hermed forbunden virksomhed" 2 days 19 hrs
	Helt rigtig! Jeg var nødt til at læse en ekstra korrektur senere på alt, hvad jeg lavede den dag...

established company // established business

my suggestion, as this is about connecting with another company that has been in business for a while.
