Virk.dk Alternative

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.

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.
