Denmark Company & Beneficial Ownership Directory
Denmark company register data is public and free to search on the Det Centrale Virksomhedsregister (CVR), run by Erhvervsstyrelsen (the Danish Business Authority) under the Selskabsloven (Companies Act). Beneficial ownership, the reelle ejere, is integrated into the same CVR record, generally presumed at a 25% ownership threshold with a control test also applying, under Denmark's anti-money-laundering law. Access tightened on 1 September 2025 under EU rules following related Court of Justice case law, moving to a tiered model for competent authorities, obliged entities, and legitimate-interest parties. Sole proprietorships are exempt from the filing requirement entirely.
