Status of the Dutch company database

The Dutch company database

Counted on 4 November 2026: 535,638 records, 513,153 of them with phone, email or website. One source has been processed so far: Overture Maps Foundation, Places (release 2026-10-21.0), licence CDLA-Permissive-2.0. A record is a business or a branch location with its own address as listed by Overture Maps, not an entry in the KVK business register; a company with several locations can appear more than once. Planned are OpenStreetMap, company websites (contact page and Chamber of Commerce number), public registers of professions and regulators, and member directories of trade associations; these sources are not yet included in the figures.

• 535,638records in total (businesses and branch locations)
• 530,704of which active
• 513,153with phone, email or website
• 457,951with phone number
• 167,458with own email address
• 469,650with website

As of 4 November 2026. Active means: not marked as permanently closed in the source; 4,934 records are marked as closed. The contact figures refer to all records; a record can have several contact fields, the figures overlap and must not be added up. An email address counts as the record’s own only if it is not shared by three or more records (577 such addresses are excluded); 173,490 records have any email address. A contact detail does not guarantee reachability and contains no consent for marketing.

Target size once collection is complete (estimate of 25 October 2026)

As the target for the complete build-up, on 25 October 2026 we estimated about 2,450,000 businesses. The basis is the CBS business population on 1 October 2026: 2,450,355 businesses (Statistics Netherlands (CBS) StatLine, table 81589NED “Bedrijven; bedrijfstak”). The target size is an estimate, not a stock and not a commitment; we only deliver what the database actually contains and what the quotation confirms.

How we count

The figures on this page were counted in our collection files on 4 November 2026, not extrapolated. These rules apply:

• Record. A place from Overture Maps Places (release 2026-10-21.0) with a confidence score of at least 0.77, excluding non-business categories and vending machines and without duplicate IDs. Of the 1,298,442 places in the file, 760,087 are below the threshold and 2,717 fall into non-business categories; 535,638 records remain. Overture merges data from Meta and Microsoft, among others.
• Active. Not marked as permanently closed in the source: 530,704 records.
• With contact. At least one of the fields phone, website or own email address is present: 513,153 records (95.8%).
• Own email address. An address not shared by three or more records with different names; 577 shared addresses and role addresses such as noreply are excluded. That leaves 167,458 of the 173,490 records with an email address.
• Industry. The records have no SBI code, so there are no counts of our own per industry yet. The table below shows the official CBS figure for each industry.
• KVK business register. Not a source of this database: the KVK open dataset contains no trade names and no KVK numbers and is therefore of no use to us, and the KVK APIs are paid. The number of business locations in the register is shown below for comparison only.
• Company websites. The crawl of company websites is in progress: by 4 November 2026, 653,013 of 757,760 domains had been visited. Contact details from websites are not yet included in the figures above.

A delivery is bound by the number in the quotation. All published versions are listed at the bottom of this page.

Contact coverage

Share of records for which a phone number, an own email address or a website is stored, across all records and across active records only. There are no counts per industry yet.

Scroll the table sideways.

The records come from map data, which mainly lists businesses with a location and contact details; the percentages apply to this file, not to all businesses in the Netherlands. The share states for how many records a field is stored, not how many numbers or mailboxes are reachable.

Status per industry

There are no counts of our own per industry yet: the records in our database are not yet assigned to an industry. This table therefore shows the market size per industry according to CBS and the price for the one-off export of the whole industry (final price). Selections by province, municipality or your own filters are quoted individually.

Scroll the table sideways.

Official figures: CBS StatLine, table 81589NED “Bedrijven; bedrijfstak”, reference date 1 October 2026 (provisional), table updated 15 October 2026; municipalities: CBS, municipal classification on 1 January 2026. The scope note for each industry is on the industry page. CBS rounds business counts to multiples of five; industry figures cannot be added up to the total, because not every SBI code belongs to an industry.

For comparison: official statistics

The following figures describe the market, not our database, and follow their own counting rules.

• 1,862,975of which natural persons (sole traders, partnerships and similar)
• 587,380of which legal entities (bv, nv, foundation, association)
• 31,553,938enterprises in the 26 other EU member states (Eurostat 2024)

Netherlands: Statistics Netherlands (CBS) StatLine, table 81589NED “Bedrijven; bedrijfstak”, 1 October 2026 (provisional figure), retrieved on 25 October 2026. The KVK business register counts just over 2.6 million business locations (30 June 2026, KVK); one company can have several locations. EU: Eurostat, Structural Business Statistics (sbs_ovw_act), enterprises in industry, construction and market services, EU-27 33,978,235 minus the Netherlands 2,424,297. More: EU and other markets.

How to read the figures

• Counted is not delivered. The figures describe the file on the data date. Every quotation states the actual number of records for your selection.
• Official statistics are not a dataset. The CBS and Eurostat figures describe the market, not the size of our exports.
• What matters is the field you need. How many companies in a selection have a phone number, email address or website is stated in the quotation.
• Page date is not data date. A revision of this page does not change the date of the data.
