Source and methodology
Source: companydata.dk / CVR, Danish Business Authority. The statistics are compiled daily from our CVR database. A saved edition preserves the figures, methodology and downloads from the same extraction.
Each CVR number with active status in companydata.dk is counted once. All legal forms are included, including sole proprietorships, limited companies and associations.
The municipality is taken from the company's latest registered address. Production units and workplaces are not counted separately. The figures describe registered locations, not local jobs.
Companies without a known municipality code are grouped under Unknown municipality. All municipalities in our reference register are shown, including those with zero companies. Shares are calculated from all active companies, including those with an unknown municipality.
The statistics are a snapshot at the time of extraction. Relocations, status changes and corrections in CVR may change the distribution in the next update.
