Overview

Search the Dutch Business Register (KVK Handelsregister) and export companies in bulk into clean, structured JSON, CSV or Excel. Look up any company name, trade name, KVK number or keyword and pull the KVK number, name, trade names, legal form, registration type, address, city and business activity — one tidy row per company. Built for lead lists, market research, due diligence, data enrichment and automations covering companies registered in the Netherlands.

Features

🔎 Search by name or keyword — type a company name, trade name or keyword (e.g. bakker, Philips, cafe amsterdam) and collect every matching company.
🔢 Look up by KVK number — drop a KVK number straight into the search terms to pull that specific company.
🏷️ Trade names & legal form — current trade names plus the legal form (BV, eenmanszaak, maatschap and more).
📍 Address & city — street, postal code and city for each company.
🧾 Business activity — a short description of what the company does.
🟢 Registration status — whether the entry is active, and whether it is a main branch, sub-branch or legal entity.
🧮 Volume control — set maxItems to balance coverage and cost.
📤 Clean export — one row per company as JSON, CSV, Excel or XML.

Input

{
  "queries": ["bakker", "Philips"],

How to search

Put any company name, trade name, KVK number or keyword into queries and run. Each term is searched separately and duplicate companies are removed automatically, so you can pass a whole list of names in one go.

FAQ

What is the KVK Handelsregister? It is the official Dutch Business Register, which lists companies and legal entities registered in the Netherlands.

Can I search by KVK number? Yes — put the KVK number in queries and the matching company is returned.

How many companies can I collect per search? Set maxItems to whatever you need, or 0 for no limit. Very broad keywords return large result sets, so a specific name gives the cleanest list.

What formats can I export? JSON, CSV, Excel and XML, via the dataset export or the Apify API.

Is this official data? The data reflects public business-registry information for companies in the Netherlands.

`queries` Search terms	array	One or more company names, trade names, KVK numbers or keywords to look up in the Dutch Business Register — for example 'bakker', 'Philips' or a KVK number. Each term runs its own search and the results are combined.
`maxItems` Max companies	integer	Maximum number of companies to collect across all searches (0 = no limit; collect everything the searches return). Default: `100`
