Denmark CVR Company Health & KYB Risk Score

Look up any Danish company in the official CVR registry (Det Centrale Virksomhedsregister) and get back a single, explainable 0–100 health score with a letter grade (A–F) and a risk band (LOW / MEDIUM / HIGH).

Most CVR tools hand you raw registry fields and leave the judgement to you. This one does the judgement: it turns the registry data into a defensible KYB/risk signal, and shows you the reason for every point.

What it's for

• KYB onboarding — score a Danish company in one call before you let it onto your platform.
• AML / compliance screening — automatically catch ceased, dissolved, and bankrupt entities.
• B2B sales & supplier due diligence — rank prospects or vendors by operational substance and standing.
• Lead enrichment — append a health grade to a list of Danish companies.

Input

Field	Description
companies	List of lookups. Each can be an 8-digit CVR number (24256790), a VAT number (DK24256790), or a company name (Novo Nordisk). CVR number matches most reliably.
country	dk (Denmark, default) or no (Norway).
contactEmail	A real email or app name. The registry requires every caller to self-identify; it is sent only in the request header.
includeRawData	Include the normalized raw registry fields alongside the score (default true).

Output (one record per company)

}

How the score works

The score is fully transparent and additive (max 100), then gated:

• Longevity (0–30) — how long the entity has existed.
• Status integrity (0–30) — active and solvent vs. distressed.
• Operational footprint (0–20) — production units + employee headcount.
• Transparency (0–20) — reachable, industry-classified, address not protected.

A fatal flag — bankruptcy, cessation, or dissolution — caps the total at 25 (grade F, HIGH risk) no matter how strong the other signals are. A bankrupt 30-year-old company is exactly what a KYB check exists to catch, so it cannot score "investable".

Data source & privacy

Data comes from the official Danish CVR registry via its free public JSON gateway. Company-level (legal-entity) data only — this actor never requests or returns beneficial-ownership or natural-person records, which are access-restricted in Denmark since September 2025. GDPR-safe by construction.

For very high request volumes, the Danish Business Authority also offers an authenticated system-to-system distribution feed; the scoring logic in src/scoring.py is source-agnostic and can be pointed at it.

Notes

• Be specific with name searches — an exact CVR number always beats a fuzzy name.
• The actor paces requests gently to respect the free gateway's rate limits.
• Pricing is pay-per-result.
