What these numbers are, and are not
Every count is an observed record in the FirmTrove database: companies that are not merged, purged or retired. It is not a census of all Dutch companies and not the trade register. The province is the derived operating region based on city or postcode; a company without that derivation is not on a province page. Categories are the literal labels the sources supply, so one company can appear under several. Cells below 25 records are not published.
