Nordic Company Registries: Norway & Finland (Official)

Search the official company registries of Norway (Brønnøysund Register Centre) and Finland (PRH / YTJ) in one run and one clean schema — by activity code (NACE), city, number of employees (Norway), registration date and name.

Official open data, legal to reuse: no scraping of private websites.

What can you do with it?

• 🎯 B2B prospecting in the Nordics. "IT companies in Oslo and Helsinki", "Norwegian software companies with 50+ employees".
• 🆕 New companies. "Norwegian IT companies registered since January 2026".
• ✅ Company checks. Status (active / bankrupt / winding up / ceased), legal form, registration and founding dates, VAT registration and last annual accounts (Norway).

Why this Actor?

	This Actor	Typical registry scrapers

Ceased / bankrupt companies removed	✅ by default	❌ often mixed in
Sole traders (personal data) excluded	✅ by default	❌
Official open data	✅ NLOD 2.0 & CC BY 4.0	varies
