Same CVR data. Made usable.
Virk.dk is the official source — but raw XBRL files, queue systems, and no visualizations make it hard to use in practice. companydata.dk takes the same data and makes it clear, searchable, and actionable.
companydata.dk vs Virk.dk
We build on the same public data — but present it completely differently.
| companydata.dk | Virk.dk / CVR | |
|---|---|---|
| Basic lookup | Free, no login needed | Free, but often requires MitID |
| Financial display | Charts, key figures, up to 13 years | Raw XBRL files and PDFs |
| Credit rating | CDS Score (0-100) | |
| Property data | EJF data incl. count, area, types | |
| Industry benchmarks | Municipality and postal code level | |
| Monitoring and alerts | Email digest, webhooks, Zapier | |
| Visual charts and trends | Interactive charts for all key figures | |
| API access | Modern REST API with clean JSON | ElasticSearch-based (complex) |
| Automation | Zapier integration + webhooks | |
| Access without waiting | Always available | Queue-it during peak hours |
| Company registration | CVR registration, VAT filing, etc. | |
| Official authority | No — we redistribute public data | Yes — Danish Business Authority |
What does companydata.dk do better?
Financials you can actually read
Virk shows financials as raw XBRL files or PDFs. We parse them into clear tables with key figures, charts, and comparisons — ready to use.
Industry insights and benchmarks
See how a company performs compared to its industry, municipality, or postal code area. Virk doesn't have this.
Credit rating without enterprise contracts
CDS Score gives you an assessment of a company's financial health based on financial data. Virk.dk offers no form of credit rating.
Monitor and automate
Get notified when a company changes ownership, address, or files financials. Integrate with Zapier or use our REST API. Virk has no monitoring feature.
