Norway Company Search - Org Number Lookup & B2B Leads (Brreg)

Get Norwegian company data straight from the official Brønnøysund Register Centre open data API (Enhetsregisteret). Look up companies by organisation number or name, or build B2B lead lists by NACE industry code, municipality, postal code, legal form, employee count and registration date. Each company comes with email, phone, website, business and postal address, VAT number, share capital, status flags and, optionally, the CEO, board and auditor.

$1 per 1,000 companies. Invalid org numbers, names or searches with no match, duplicates and rows skipped by your filters are free.

What you can do with it

• Enrich a CRM list of Norwegian org numbers (923609016, 923 609 016 or NO923609016MVA all work) with name, address, industry, size, email and phone.
• Build lead lists: all IT companies (naceCodes: ["62"]) in Oslo with 10 to 200 employees and an email address.
• Fresh-company leads: every company registered in Bergen since last Monday (registeredFrom), ideal for accountants, banks, insurers and SaaS sales.
• KYC and due diligence: check that a supplier is active, VAT-registered and not bankrupt or under liquidation, and see who the CEO and board are.
• Market sizing: count companies per industry and municipality (matchTotal shows the full count for a search).

Pricing

Pay per event: $0.001 per company returned ($1 per 1,000), with automatic Bronze/Silver/Gold discounts. A company found by several inputs is charged once. Not charged: invalid org numbers (the check digit is validated), names or searches with no match, duplicates, and rows skipped by withEmailOnly. Set a maximum charge per run in Apify and the actor stops cleanly at it, saving everything it got.

Tips and limits

• NACE codes follow the Norwegian SN2025 standard; a prefix such as 62 or 62.1 matches every code below it.
• The register serves at most 10,000 results per search. For bigger lists, split by municipality or NACE code.
• Employee counts come from the register (NAV Aa-registeret); sole proprietors often have none.
• Roles (includeRoles) need one extra request per company, so large lists run slower. Only names and roles are returned, never birth dates.
• Financial statements (revenue, profit) are not included.
• The actor stops gracefully before the run timeout and keeps the results it already has.
