Norway & Finland Company Data – Brreg & PRH Registry Lookup

Look up Norwegian and Finnish companies by organisation number, or search one country by name, industry code, municipality or registration date. The data comes from the official open registries, the Norwegian Brønnøysund Register Centre (Enhetsregisteret) and the Finnish Patent and Registration Office (PRH, YTJ). You pay $0.003 per company row, so 500 companies cost about $1.50. Invalid or unknown numbers are reported and not charged.

This Actor delivers organisation-level data only. It never returns personal names, birth dates, e-mail addresses or phone numbers, it never reads the registries' role (board/owner) data, and it leaves out sole proprietorships.

Use cases

• Enrich a CRM with legal name, legal form, industry, address and status from org numbers.
• Build lead lists of companies in an industry and municipality, for example all retailers registered in Oslo since 2024.
• Check status of suppliers or customers: active, dissolving, bankrupt or deregistered.
• Market research on new registrations per industry and region.
• Optionally inspect company websites for WordPress version, theme and plugins in the same run.

  "error": null
}

Finnish rows have the same fields. orgForm uses the PRH abbreviations (for example OY, OYJ), industryCode is TOL 2008, and employees is null because the source doesn't provide it. An unknown or invalid number gives a row with error set (INVALID_CHECKSUM, NOT_FOUND, DEREGISTERED, SOURCE_UNAVAILABLE, RATE_LIMITED) and is not charged.
