Map layer: Business
The Business category brings together map data on retail activity, retail chains, companies and business demographics. The layers are useful for retail location assessments (competition, customer base, retail frequency), tenant prospecting and property transactions where the business mix is relevant to the valuation. Data comes from the Brønnøysundregistrene registers, chain data and the motor vehicle register.

Tips
- Combine Grocery Chains and Shopping centres with travel distance isochrones to calculate the customer base within a 10 minute drive or walk.
- Growing companies and Main Industry per Basic Statistical Unit are useful for tenant prospecting: see which industries dominate an area and which companies are growing fast enough to need space.
- Real Estate Transactions in the Media gives a snapshot of market activity, but coverage varies with media attention: large transactions are captured better than smaller ones.
