Company panel
The company panel opens when you click a company in the map, search for it, or click a company owner in the property panel. It gathers everything Placepoint knows about one company: the properties it owns, the ownership chain above and below, roles, office addresses and transactions.
For now, the interface shows a mix of Norwegian and English tab labels. Norwegian names will arrive in a later update. In this document we lead with the Norwegian name and give the current English label in brackets.
All the tabs in the company panel
The video searches for Entra ASA and opens the company panel, drags the panel wider until all the tabs fit, and goes through all eight tabs with the sub-tabs in each: Overview, Info, Properties, Ownership, Roles, Offices, Transactions and Financials. It ends back on Overview.
- Search for the company and select the hit. The company panel opens, with the company name and organisation number at the top.
- Drag the panel wider so that Offices, Transactions and Financials fit in the strip. The tabs that do not fit sit behind + more on the right of the strip.
- Properties: the arrow on the right of the key figures row shows more boxes, then owned properties, ownership tree, tenants and earlier tenants.
- Ownership: ultimate owners, shareholders, ownership tree and conglomerate. For Entra, the ownership goes to Castellum, Balder and SEB.
- Roles: the board, general manager and auditor. Offices: offices, offices tree and move history. Transactions: property, owners and investments.
- Financials: the sub-tabs Employees, Results and Annual report, the graph as a curve and back to bars, and the Select values menu opened.
- Overview last, which is the tab you land on when you open a company.
Duration: 2 minutes and 52 seconds. The tabs depend on the company: a company without properties has empty Properties and Transactions tabs.
If you reach a company from a property, through the Owners tab in the property panel, the panel gets a Back button at the top that goes to where you came from.
The top of the panel
At the top of the panel:
- Company Name and organisation number.
- A link to the company in Brønnøysundregistrene and to Proff for extended accounts and credit information.
- The buttons at the top: Back to the panel you came from, Open company in Proff, Credit score, Zoom to and Close. You make the panel wider by dragging the left edge.
Tabs
The tabs sit in a horizontal tab strip below the header. At a typical panel width, Overview, Info, Properties, Ownership and Roles are visible; Offices and Transactions are gathered behind a +N more button on the right, or come into the strip when you drag the panel wider. Some tabs only appear when the company has relevant data: Accounts and Documents require available data, and Housing Company only appears for borettslag and boligsameier (Norwegian housing co-operatives and housing condominiums).
Oversikt (Overview)
The dashboard view for the company. Overview stacks compressed cards from the other tabs on top of each other, so you rarely need to switch tab for the first questions: key information, roles, office addresses, accounts figures, properties, ownership and recent transactions. Each card links on to its full tab.
Info
Base data about the company from Brønnøysundregistrene (BRREG): legal form, industry code (NACE), date of incorporation, registered business address, number of employees and status (active, in liquidation, deleted).
Eiendommer (Properties)
The properties the company owns or holds ownership interests in. The tab has four sub-tabs:
| Sub-tab | Content |
|---|---|
| Eide eiendommer (Owned properties) | A table of matrikkelenhet units where the company is registered as the title holder or owner. Click a row to open the property panel. Turn on the map in the row above the table to see the properties as points. When you hold the pointer over a row, the property is highlighted in the map, and the zoom button moves the map there. |
| Eiertre (Ownership tree) | The properties organised as an expandable tree, useful when the company owns through several subsidiaries. |
| Leietakere (Tenants) | Active tenants in the company's properties. Most complete for company tenants; private housing tenants are rarely captured. |
| Tidligere leietakere (Historic tenants) | Earlier tenancies in the company's properties. |
For a portfolio owner, Owned properties is the starting point for understanding what the company actually controls; Ownership tree shows whether the properties are held directly or through subsidiaries (typically an SPV structure with one AS per property).
Eierandel (Ownership)
Who owns the company, and how the ownership is structured. The tab has four sub-tabs; the default is Ultimate owners:
| Sub-tab | Content |
|---|---|
| Ultimate eiere (Ultimate owners) | The natural persons who ultimately control the company, calculated through the ownership chain. This is the relevant level for anti-money laundering and due diligence purposes. |
| Aksjonærer (Shareholders) | The shareholders with their ownership share, per financial year, from the shareholder register. Select year to see the development. Small shareholders are gathered in a separate row. |
| Eiertre (Ownership tree) | The ownership chain upwards, from the company towards parent companies and ultimate owners, as an expandable tree. |
| Konsern (Konsern) | The conglomerate structure the company is part of, with parent, subsidiary and sister companies. Empty when the company is not part of a conglomerate. |
A share sale of a property company is not registered as a recorded property transfer, but it is the most common form of change of ownership for commercial property, because it avoids document duty. The Ownership tab is therefore often where you discover a real change of ownership that does not show in a property's transaction history.
Roller (Roles)
The roles in the company from Brønnøysundregistrene: chair of the board, board members, general manager, signature and power of procuration rights, auditor and accountant. Click a person to see that person's other roles across companies.
Kontorer (Offices)
The business and office addresses linked to the company. Three sub-tabs:
| Sub-tab | Content |
|---|---|
| Kontorer (Offices) | A table of registered addresses. |
| Kontortre (Tree) | The addresses organised as a tree when the company has several locations or subsidiaries. |
| Flyttehistorikk (Move history) | Previously registered addresses with dates, useful for tracking when a company moved. |
Transaksjoner (Transactions)
Property and share transactions the company has been party to: purchases and sales of property (recorded deeds from Kartverket) and share transfers. Use the tab to follow the company's acquisition and sales activity over time.
Økonomi (Financials)
The tab arrived in 3.0.22 and has three parts. At the top sits the Accounts card: turnover and EBIT per financial year, with Select values to change which figures the graph shows. The two buttons next to it choose the form: bars show each year separately, a curve shows the development between the years. Below are the key figures for the most recent year, each with the change from the year before: income, net result, EBITDA and number of employees. At the bottom sit the sub-tabs Employees, Results and Annual report, where Annual report links to the submitted annual accounts.
Select values controls which series the graph draws. The menu has eight: Revenue, EBITDA, EBIT, EBT, Net income, Total assets, Equity and Liabilities (debt). The ticks show which ones are on now, and the number in the button is how many. Series the company has no figures for are not drawn, even if you turn them on.
Hold the pointer over a bar to read off the year, the series and the amount:
The figures come from our own data and are updated every night. The amounts in the graph are in thousands of kroner. The tab appears when we have accounts figures for the company.
Dokumenter (Documents)
Reports and documents linked to the company, including annual reports. Shown when documents are available.
Boligselskap (Housing Company)
Specific information for borettslag and boligsameier: shares, joint debt and linked units. Shown only when the company is a housing company.
Common use cases
Due diligence on a property company. Open Info for base data and status, Ownership for ultimate owners and conglomerate structure, and Roles for the board and signature rights. Check Accounts for financial soundness and Properties for what the company actually owns.
Tracking a change of ownership through a share sale. If a property's transaction history does not show a new owner, but the owning company has been sold, you find it in the Ownership tab's Shareholders or Ultimate owners. Select year to see when the share changed.
Mapping a portfolio owner. Open Properties for the whole portfolio, use Ownership tree to see whether the properties are held directly or through subsidiaries, and Tenants to assess the income base in the portfolio.
Tips
- The company panel also opens when you click a company owner in the property panel.
- Ultimate owners is the default sub-tab in Ownership, because that is the level due diligence usually needs. These are the ultimate owners, calculated through the whole ownership chain.
- The ownership chain can stop at foreign companies where Brønnøysundregistrene lacks in-depth data. The ultimate beneficiary must then be verified against foreign registers or the company's annual report.
- Empty tabs are a designed state. Konsern is empty when the company is not part of a conglomerate, and Housing Company only appears for borettslag and boligsameier.
