CVR stands for Central Business Register. To be identified as a company in Denmark, you need a CVR number. This number is used for everything from opening a business bank account to setting up business insurance.
To get a CVR number, you need to establish a company and register it with the Danish Business Authority on virk.dk . This guide will take you through all the steps needed.
The time it takes to get your CVR number depends on your business type. For a sole proprietorship, it can take one to two weeks. If you're registering a capital company, you'll generally get your CVR number within 24 hours of submitting the application.
To get your CVR number, you have to go to virk.dk, where you’ll need your MitID to register the business.
First things first, log in to Virk with your MitID, then register your email address. The Danish Business Authority will use this email for all receipts and other information, so make sure to enter an email you check often.
Next, you'll choose which type of business you want to register. As you can see, there are many options. If you already know which one is right for you, go ahead and click on it to fill out the information requested by the Danish Business Authority.
