Export
We compile exports from the Dutch company database by industry and region. Every file has fifteen columns – from company name, legal form and Chamber of Commerce number through address, municipality and SBI code to phone, email and website; a column is only filled where the source provides the field. Not every record contains every field. You pay once, without a subscription.
File structure
Each row is a company, each column a data field. The structure is the same for all industries, so you can merge several exports or import them into the same CRM template.
| Column in the CSV | Label | Content |
|---|---|---|
bedrijfsnaam | Company name | trade name or registered name as given in the source, including the legal form where it is part of the name. |
rechtsvorm | Legal form | for example bv (private limited company), nv, foundation (stichting), association (vereniging), cooperative, general or limited partnership (vof, cv), professional partnership (maatschap) or sole trader (eenmanszaak), where the source states it; the current records (Overture Maps) do not have this field yet. |
rechtspersoon | Legal entity | “ja” for bv, nv, foundation, association and cooperative; “nee” for sole traders and partnerships; empty if the legal form is unknown. Determines which rules apply to phone and email; the current records (Overture Maps) do not have this field yet. |
kvk_nummer | KVK number | eight-digit Chamber of Commerce (KVK) number, only if the business publishes it itself (for example on its website or in a public register); the current records (Overture Maps) do not have this field yet. |
btw_id | VAT ID | VAT identification number, only if the business publishes it itself; the current records (Overture Maps) do not have this field yet. |
straat | Street and number | visiting or postal address of the business as given in the source; no home addresses that are not published as a business address. |
postcode | Postcode | Dutch postcode in the format 1234 AB, stored as text. |
plaats | Town | town or city of the address. |
gemeente | Municipality | one of the 342 municipalities, derived from the postcode (2026 classification). |
provincie | Province | one of the 12 provinces, derived from the address; the main filter for a regional selection. |
branche | Industry | assignment to one of the 22 contactendatabase.nl industries; the current records (Overture Maps) do not have this field yet. |
sbi_code | SBI code | activity code under the Dutch Standard Industrial Classification (SBI), where it can be derived from the source (SBI 2008 or SBI 2025; the version is stated in the header of the delivery); the current records (Overture Maps) do not have this field yet. |
telefoon | Phone | publicly listed business number in international format (+31 …). |
email | publicly listed general business address (for example info@), no personal addresses of employees. | |
website | Website | address of the company website including the protocol. |
An empty field means the information was not available in the sources – we never fill it with an estimate. As of 4 November 2026, all records come from Overture Maps; that source contains no KVK number, VAT ID, legal form, industry or SBI code. These fields will only be filled with the planned sources; the quotation states which fields your selection contains. The column names in the CSV are Dutch.
Sample
The following rows are sample data. The companies in the table and in the sample file are entirely fictitious so that you can see the structure. Chamber of Commerce numbers, VAT IDs and phone numbers are deliberately invalid, and the email addresses end in the reserved domain .example. This is not a register extract and not a collection of contacts for outreach.

FAQ
Do not open the file by double-clicking: Excel may then show special characters incorrectly and convert Chamber of Commerce numbers into numbers, dropping leading zeros.
In an empty workbook choose Data › From Text/CSV, set the file origin to Unicode (UTF-8) and the delimiter to semicolon. Set the columns kvk_nummer and postcode to text and confirm with Load. In LibreOffice Calc the import dialogue opens automatically.
We deliver CSV in UTF-8 with BOM, with a semicolon as delimiter and CRLF line endings. Excel and LibreOffice recognise this combination reliably. If your application expects a comma or tab, we adjust the file accordingly.
Because in the Netherlands the legal form determines which rules apply. You may call legal entities (bv, nv, foundation, association) on business matters; sole traders and partnerships only with their prior consent. The column lets you filter that in your CRM. That column is only filled where the source provides the legal form; the current records have no legal form yet. More in B2B outreach and the Telecommunications Act.
The published figures are as of 4 November 2026: 535,638 records from Overture Maps. Exports are compiled per request; every quotation states the data date. The date an export is produced is not the date on which every individual contact was checked.
Details are on the data sources and methodology page.
Yes. By default we deliver all fifteen columns; on request you receive a file with only the fields you need for importing into your CRM. Records without a phone number or without a website can also be excluded.
Not without the recipients’ prior consent. Article 11.7 of the Telecommunications Act prohibits unsolicited commercial email, including to legal entities, except to addresses the company itself has published for such messages. The email column contains general business addresses to identify and maintain contacts, for example in a CRM, not to send unsolicited advertising.
That depends on industry, region and filters. Note the limit of 1,048,576 rows per Excel worksheet: we split very large selections by province on request or deliver them as JSON.
We confirm the size after filters, the price and the data date before you order.
