Legal research platform Unternehmensdaten.at

unternehmensdaten.at is a modern digital platform for quick, free access to company data from the Austrian business register. The project aimed to promote economic transparency, simplify access to commercial-law information, and provide an easy-to-use research interface.

At its core is a powerful, intuitive company search that lets users find 500,000+ registered Austrian companies by name or register number. The platform prepares publicly available register data in user-friendly, structured company profiles including linked annual reports, management and authorised representatives, register number and business description, and legal form and registered office.

A key feature is immediate access to more than 1.2 million documents such as balance sheets and annual reports sourced directly from the business register — enabling informed assessment of company history, financial stability, and business relevance.

The platform was built to be legally sound, resource-efficient, and low-maintenance, with a clear interface, performant database queries, and high availability. No registration is required — research is available around the clock at no cost.

unternehmensdaten.at serves entrepreneurs, journalists, analysts, and anyone who needs fast, reliable information about Austrian companies.

The project shows how publicly accessible data, clear information architecture, and modern web technology create real value for the digital economy and public administration.
