Review Data and History
Click onto a specific entity to view active status, unit history, and associated production units (P-numbers). Financial statements and historical registrations are available for download as PDF files.
Who uses this data
Due diligence teams, B2B sales professionals, and compliance officers use the CVR to verify the legal standing and financial health of Danish entities. Its total transparency makes it a primary source for verifying beneficial ownership and corporate structures in the Nordics.
Access, fees & notes
Denmark is a global leader in open data; the CVR provides almost all data for free, including historical financial statements. The use of 'P-numbers' (Production Units) is unique, as they identify specific physical locations of a business rather than just the legal headquarters.
Cost & access
Full search and document downloads are free for all users. API access is free but requires a user profile at the Danish Business Authority.
Local-language glossary

- Aktieselskab (A/S)
- A public limited company, typically used by larger entities and required for stock exchange listings.
- Produktionsenhed (P-nummer)
- A 10-digit number assigned to each physical location where a company carries out business.

Common mistakes to avoid
✗ Confusing the CVR number with the P-number.
✓ The CVR number identifies the legal entity, while the P-number identifies the specific physical workshop or office location.
✗ Assuming 'Ophørt' status means the data is gone.
✓ CVR maintains historical records; 'Ophørt' means the company is ceased/dissolved, but historical reports remain accessible.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a CVR number?▾
CVR (Det Centrale Virksomhedsregister) number is an 8-digit unique identifier assigned to every Danish business. Each business unit also gets a P-number (production unit number). CVR numbers are public and freely searchable.
What is an ApS?▾
ApS (Anpartsselskab) is Denmark's private limited company, equivalent to a GmbH or Ltd. Since 2014, an ApS can be formed with minimum DKK 40,000 share capital (previously DKK 80,000). The IVS (iværksætterselskab / entrepreneurial company with €1 capital) was abolished in 2019.
How open is Danish company data?▾
Denmark has one of the world's most open business data regimes. CVR data is freely available through the Virk.dk platform and API, including company details, employee counts, and financial data. Annual reports are also freely accessible.
Can I access Danish company financial data for free?▾
Yes. Danish companies' annual reports are freely available through the CVR register. This includes balance sheets, income statements, and audit reports. This level of free financial transparency is unusual globally.
How do I search for a company in Denmark by name?▾
Use the available lookup or the linked official CVR service. Start with the legal name, then compare the exact CVR number and available identity fields. Name matches are candidates; source coverage and partial-name support vary.
Is the Denmark company register free to search?▾
Basic company lookup is free on LemReveal. The official Denmark register has independent access rules and may require an account or charge for searches, extracts or particular documents. Check the source's current terms.
Can I search Denmark companies by registration number?▾
Where the source supports it, use the exact CVR number together with its register or jurisdiction. Preserve prefixes and leading zeros and compare the returned legal name. A number alone does not guarantee coverage or a successful lookup.
How do I check whether a company is registered in Denmark?▾
Search the exact CVR number or legal name above, then confirm the entity's identifier and source. An empty result can reflect coverage limits, a source outage, spelling or a different jurisdiction; it does not prove the business is unregistered. A fuzzy candidate is not a confirmed identity.
How can I tell if a Denmark company is still active?▾
Read the status and effective date where the CVR supplies them. Active registration does not establish trading or financial health. Monitoring is available only for supported sources and confirmed records; verify the actual watch state.
How do I find a company's CVR number?▾
Identify the legal entity using the available lookup or official CVR route. Record the CVR only where supplied, with its source and jurisdiction. Do not infer missing identifiers from a similar name.
