### Primary Status Values
| Danish Status | English | Normalized |
| ---------------------------------- | ------------------------------------- | ---------- |
| NORMAL | Active / Normal | Active |
| OPLØST | Dissolved | Inactive |
| OPLØST EFTER KONKURS | Dissolved after Bankruptcy | Inactive |
| OPLØST EFTER ERKLÆRING | Dissolved after Declaration | Inactive |
| OPLØST EFTER FRIVILLIG LIKVIDATION | Dissolved after Voluntary Liquidation | Inactive |

Some entity types (particularly sole proprietorships, associations, and public entities) may use a simplified status system with values like "Aktiv" (Active) or "Ophørt" (Ceased).
## Activity Codes
Denmark uses **DB07** (Dansk Branchekode 2007), the Danish implementation of **NACE Rev. 2**.
| Field | Description | Example |
| ---------------------------- | ------------------------------ | --------------------- |
| Industry code (branchekode) | 6-digit NACE-compatible code | `620100` |
| Industry text (branchetekst) | Activity description in Danish | Computerprogrammering |
| Classification scheme | DB07\_NACErev2 | - |
The first 4 digits align with the EU NACE standard; the last 2 digits provide Danish sub-detail. Companies may have a main activity (hovedbranche) and up to three secondary activities (bibranche).
## Ownership Data
**Ownership is reported as bands, not exact percentages.** CVR reports ownership as ranges rather than precise values. This is a regulatory feature of Danish company law, not a data limitation.
### Ownership Bands
| Band | Display Value |
| ------------ | ------------- |
| 5-9.99% | 5-9.99% |
| 10-14.99% | 10-14.99% |
| 15-19.99% | 15-19.99% |
| 20-24.99% | 20-24.99% |
| 25-33.32% | 25-33.32% |
| 33.33-49.99% | 33.33-49.99% |
| 50-66.66% | 50-66.66% |
| 66.67-89.99% | 66.67-89.99% |
| 90-99.99% | 90-99.99% |
| 100% | 100% |
Ownership data includes both share capital ownership and voting rights, which may be reported in different bands for the same shareholder.
## Address Format
Danish addresses follow a structured format:
**Standard format:**
```text theme={null}
Højbro Plads 10, 1200 København K, Denmark
```
**With floor and apartment:**
```text theme={null}
Vesterbrogade 42, 3. th, 1620 København V, Denmark
```
### Address Components
| Component | Description | Example |
| ------------------------------ | --------------------------- | ---------------------- |
| Street name (vejnavn) | Street name | Højbro Plads |
| House number (husnummerFra) | Building number | 10 |
| Floor (etage) | Floor number | 3 |
| Side door (sidedoer) | Apartment indicator | th (til højre = right) |
| Postal code (postnummer) | 4-digit postal code | 1200 |
| Postal district (postdistrikt) | City/area name | København K |
| Municipality (kommune) | Administrative municipality | KØBENHAVN |
## Capital Structure
Standard minimum capital requirements:
| Legal Form | Minimum Capital |

| A/S (Public Limited) | DKK 400,000 |
| ApS (Private Limited) | DKK 40,000 |
| IVS (Entrepreneurial) | DKK 1 (discontinued since 2019) |
Capital is typically reported in Danish Kroner (DKK). If no currency is specified in the registry data, DKK is assumed.
## Representatives
### Common Roles
| Danish Role | English | Description |
| ------------------------ | --------------------- | --------------------------- |
| DIREKTØR | Director | Company director |
| ADMINISTRERENDE DIREKTØR | CEO | Chief Executive Officer |
| BESTYRELSESFORMAND | Chairman of the Board | Board chairman |
| NÆSTFORMAND | Deputy Chairman | Vice chairman |
| BESTYRELSESMEDLEM | Board Member | Board member |
| SUPPLEANT | Alternate | Substitute/alternate member |

## Establishments (Production Units)
Danish companies can have multiple production units (penheder), representing physical locations where the company operates. Each is identified by a unique 10-digit P-number.
Production unit details (name, address, activities) may require additional lookups. The primary company lookup returns P-numbers and validity periods for each unit.
## Implementation Notes
**Empty results possible**: Some CVR numbers may return no results if the entity does not exist in the current registry index.
**Historical data model**: All Danish company data is versioned with validity periods. Current values have no end date. For dissolved companies, all records have end dates, and the most recent values are used.
### Known Limitations
1. **Ownership bands**: Exact shareholding percentages are not available - only the band (range) is reported
2. **Establishment details**: Production unit records contain only identifiers and dates; detailed branch information requires separate lookups
3. **Status variations**: Different entity types may use different status reporting systems
