Brreg Konkursregisteret (bankruptcy register)

Name: Brreg Konkursregisteret (bankruptcy register)
License: NLOD

Open API for the Brreg Konkursregisteret with individual bankruptcy records — org number, business name, opening date, employees affected and estate-administration status. The trustee role has its own route (`/{orgnr}/bostyrer`); Enhetsregisteret publishes the BOBE group with no named party, so the identity is not available in the open source. Updated continuously. Differs from SSB's quarterly figures by providing individual records in real time.
