Norway Company Search – Brreg New Companies, CEO & Board Leads

Search the official Norwegian company register (Brønnøysundregistrene / Brreg, Enhetsregisteret) and get clean lead lists of newly registered Norwegian companies, with the CEO (daglig leder), chair (styreleder) and board members if you want them.

Each record has the organisation number (organisasjonsnummer), name, organisation form (AS, ENK, NUF, ASA…), NACE industry code and description, registration and founding date, business address, postal code, municipality and county, number of employees, share capital, website, email and phone (when the company registered them), VAT-register status and bankruptcy / liquidation flags.

Three modes:

1. New companies: everything registered in a date range (default: the last 7 days), filtered by municipality, county, NACE code, organisation form and minimum employees.
2. Name search: every company whose name contains a word (holding, eiendom, Equinor…).
3. Org-number lookup: bulk check of thousands of organisation numbers (main units and sub-units).

The data comes from the official, keyless Enhetsregisteret open-data API (data.brreg.no). No scraping, no login, no API key. $1.50 per 1,000 companies, roles included.

Who uses it

• Accountants, auditors, banks, insurers, payroll and SaaS vendors: a daily feed of new Norwegian AS companies in Oslo, Bergen, Trondheim or Stavanger, with the CEO's name for outreach.
• B2B sales teams: new companies in your industry (NACE) and region, plus established companies with 5+ employees.
• KYC, compliance and credit teams: bulk check org numbers: is the company bankrupt, under liquidation or deleted? Who is the CEO, chair and auditor?
• Researchers and journalists: company formation trends by county, industry or organisation form.

Big date ranges are no problem: the API only lets clients page through 10,000 hits per query, so the Actor automatically splits the date range into smaller windows and keeps the output newest first.

FAQ

How fresh is the data? The API is the live register. Companies registered today show up the same day.

Why do so few new companies have an email, phone or website? Registering contact details is optional. Only about 3–4 % of new entities give them. Use the CEO name plus onlyWithContactInfo if you only want reachable companies.

Why is employees empty? Brreg publishes head counts only for companies with 5 or more employees. Brand-new companies usually have none registered yet.

Why is the NACE code 00.000 Uoppgitt? The company has not stated its industry yet. This is common in the first days after registration.

Are birth dates or national ID numbers included? No. The Actor outputs role names and role types only. Deceased persons and resigned roles are left out.

Does it include sub-units (underenheter)? Yes, set unitType to sub. Org-number lookups find sub-units automatically.
