Methodology
Share of ACTIVE companies with a recorded industry code that have been registered for 30 years or more. A long unchanged registration is an indicator of an approaching handover, not a statement that any company is for sale. Divisions with fewer than 50 companies are omitted, as are divisions where fewer than 5 companies carry the signal.
Per region, only industries with at least 250 companies are shown. Source: Brønnøysund Enhetsregisteret, whole register (snapshot 2026-10-15), licensed under NLOD.
Aggregates only — no individual company is ever shown publicly with a succession indicator.
