Kompass contents

Business Directory
Kompass contains information on more than 50 million companies worldwide, including about 240.000 Danish companies. Traditionally, Kompass had its strength in the business-to-business (B2B) area, but now also covers e.g. the retail area.

Products and services
Kompass' strength is a detailed product code system (product register) in which the companies are classified. There are just over 53,000 different products/goods.  In other industrial classification code systems such as DB07, NACE and NAICS there are max 800 industries in comparison.

The information in Kompass is primarily based on the companies self-reporting.

CBS Library does not offer access to the financial information section. Use Orbis instead for companies worldwide.
