company under establishment
Explanation:
Your source uses a somewhat archaic construction. (And Danish provides a false friend in this instance. ;-) )
These days the phrase is "selskap under stiftelse", abbreviated as "SUS". It refers of course to a company that has not yet met all the legal requirements for formation.
The English possibilities are "company under establishment", "company in formation", "company being formed", etc. I recommend "company under establishment" on the basis of the reference link below, which is the source for the example sentence.
