HOW IT WORKS

From registration number to market signal, with nothing hidden along the way.

Every step below uses the same data a Nordic or Baltic company sees when they run Arikaart for real. No mock scores, no self-reported inputs — registry data in, a traceable signal out.

The four steps, in detail.

01

Your company profile, pulled — not typed.

Enter your registration number and Arikaart pulls your profile directly from PRH, Bolagsverket, CVR, or the equivalent registry in your home country: sector, founding date, revenue trend, filing history, ownership structure. Nothing self-reported.

02

A market signal, scoped to you.

Your profile is evaluated against the destination market you're considering using trade flow, market access, payment infrastructure, digital economy, business environment, and commercial presence data. The composite score is a starting point — every component behind it is visible.

03

Readiness, mostly from your registry.

Most readiness tools are entirely self-reported. Arikaart pulls financial health and corporate structure from your registry and only asks you directly about strategic intent and regulatory fit — the parts that genuinely require your input.

Live monitoring, once you're moving.

Once you're active in a market, Arikaart watches the companies on your export path across all seven Nordic and Baltic registries — director changes, shareholder shifts, sector pivots — and surfaces them before they become a problem.

METHODOLOGY

Six components. Every one of them named.

The composite market signal is a weighted read of six independently-sourced components. None of them are estimated, and none of them are self-reported.

Trade flow

Bilateral import/export volumes and trend direction between your home market and the destination — is trade already moving, growing, or flat.

Source: UN Comtrade · Eurostat

Business environment

Regulatory openness, ease of establishing a legal entity, and rule-of-law indicators for foreign companies operating in the destination.

Source: World Bank · OECD

Payment infrastructure

Whether modern payment rails — card acquiring, local settlement, Stripe-class infrastructure — are available and mature in the destination.

Source: ITU · BIS

Market access

Trade agreements, tariff schedules, and treaty coverage that determine how easily your goods or services can legally enter the market.

Source: WTO · European Commission

Digital economy

Internet penetration, e-commerce adoption, and digital services readiness — a proxy for how a SaaS or digital product will be received.

Source: ITU · World Bank

Commercial presence

Existing trademark filings, subsidiaries, and registered activity from companies in your home markets already active in the destination.
