Erhvervsregisteret

Erhvervsregisteret, often translated as the Danish Business Register, is the official central register for all businesses operating in Denmark. It is maintained by the Danish Business Authority (Erhvervsstyrelsen). The register contains information about all registered companies, including sole proprietorships, partnerships, limited companies, and other legal entities.

Key information found in the Erhvervsregisteret includes company names, registration numbers (CVR numbers), legal forms, addresses, registered capital, board members, and management. It also tracks significant events such as company formation, changes in ownership, mergers, acquisitions, and dissolution. The CVR number is a unique identifier for each business and is essential for many transactions and official communications.

The primary purpose of the Erhvervsregisteret is to ensure transparency and legal certainty in the business environment. It provides a reliable source of information for the public, other businesses, and governmental authorities. The data within the register is publicly accessible, allowing anyone to search for and retrieve information about Danish companies. This accessibility is crucial for due diligence, credit checks, and general market monitoring. The register plays a vital role in Denmark's efforts to combat fraud and ensure compliance with business regulations.
