'are they' is the definition.
The definition suggests a plural noun which matches the answer.

'best sorted out with danish capital?' is the wordplay.
'sorted out with' is an anagram indicator.
'capital?' says to take the initial letters (I've seen 'capital' mean this).
The initial letter of 'danish' is 'd'.
'best' mixed up with 'd' gives 'DEBTS'.

(Other definitions for debts that I've seen before include "Moneys owed" , "Financial obligations" , "Monies owed" , "Outstanding sums" , "Liabilities" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
