CVR (CentraleVirksomhedsregister) — Ownership Entities Realisation of Ownership and Governance

Leaf: Ownership and Governance Dataset: CVR (CentraleVirksomhedsregister) — Ownership Entities

The sole authoritative realisation in Denmark. CVR records ownership through a rich set of relation entities.

Spatial Access Path

ejerforhold / reelejerrelation / legalejerrelation
  │  FK: CVREnhedsId → target Virksomhed

  │  FK: → Adressering → DAR join chain
  │       adresse → husnummer → adgangspunkt.position

adgangspunkt.position (point geometry via DAR)

No native geometry. Ownership is a graph structure. To map it spatially, join through the owned/owning entity to its address, then through the Addresses join chain to coordinates.

Ownership Graph Structure

Person A ──owns 60%──► Company B ──owns 100%──► Company C
                                  ──owns 40%──► Company D

Person E ──board member──► Company B

Analysis typically requires recursive traversal or graph queries. Ownership chains can run through multiple intermediate entities (holding companies, foundations, foreign entities).

Key Entities

Entity	Role
\|ejerforhold	Direct ownership relationships
\|reelejerrelation	Beneficial (real) ownership — who ultimately controls the entity
\|legalejerrelation	Legal ownership chain
\|andendeltager	Other participants in ownership structures
\|fuldtansvarligdeltagerrelation	Fully liable participant relations
\|ledelse	Management and board members
\|ledelserelation	Management role assignments
\|kapitalforhold	Capital share structure

Key Attributes

Attribute	Description	Notes
`ejerandel`	Ownership share (%)	May be a range rather than exact figure
`stemmeandel`	Voting share (%)	May differ from ownership share
`rollebeskrivelse`	Role description	Danish: “Direktion”, “Bestyrelse”, “Stifter”
`CVREnhedsId`	Identifier linking to the owned entity	Stable join key

Legal vs Beneficial Ownership

Layer	Entity	What it captures
Legal ownership	`legalejerrelation`	Formal registered owner on paper
Beneficial ownership	`reelejerrelation`	Natural person who ultimately controls or benefits
Management	`ledelse` / `ledelserelation`	Directors, board members, executive roles

For compliance and AML analysis, beneficial ownership is the critical chain. For corporate structure mapping, all three layers matter.

Temporal Model

Ownership is bitemporal. Ownership stakes change over time through acquisitions, mergers, and restructuring. Historical ownership analysis requires careful virkningFra/virkningTil filtering. Each ownership relation entity carries independent registration and effect periods.
