How to do it

  1. Come up with a name

    Choose a name that says what you do. It must not look too much like someone else's name.

  2. Search the CVR register

    Search the name in the public register and see whether someone already uses it.

  3. Get ready

    Have your address and your MitID at hand. You will need them when you register.

Check the name in the CVR register

Search the name in the public register before you decide.
