Data sources & methodology

Company data

Register of Enterprises of the Republic of Latvia (Uzņēmumu reģistrs) publishes the official register of companies as open data under the CC0 licence on data.gov.lv. We use the registration number, name, legal form, registration date and legal address.

State Revenue Service (VID) publishes, per company, the main activity (NACE code), the average number of employees and the total taxes it administers that were paid during the year (dataset, CC0). Figures in this edition refer to 2024.

Which companies are included

• Registered entities that are not liquidated or excluded from the register;
• Legal forms: SIA, AS, farms (ZS), cooperatives, partnerships, branches, associations and foundations;
• Entities that reported at least one employee or paid taxes in the latest tax year.

Sole proprietorships (IK, IU) are excluded for privacy. Industry labels follow the NACE Rev. 2.1 classification from Eurostat.

Places data

Shops, restaurants, hotels, attractions and services come from OpenStreetMap, the collaborative world map. Data © OpenStreetMap contributors, available under the Open Database License. When a place has no city in OpenStreetMap, we assign the nearest town (marked internally as inferred).
