## Data Sources

Austria uses **three data sources**, each covering a distinct entity type. Data always comes from a single source per entity - there is no cross-registry merging.

### Commercial companies

* **Firmenbuch (Austrian Companies Register).** Operated by the Federal Ministry of Justice via the Justiz Online platform. The Firmenbuch has been the central business register since 1991, replacing the former Handelsregister. It is the **primary source** for all entities registered with the commercial courts: GmbH, AG, KG, OG, cooperatives, foundations, and registered sole proprietors (e.U.). The Firmenbuch contains registration details, legal form, address, share capital, business purpose, key persons (officers, prokuristen, supervisory board), and filed documents (financial statements, articles of association, annual reports).

<Note>
  The Firmenbuch is accessed via official interfaces operated by the Austrian judiciary, providing company profile data, available documents, document content, and company name searches.
</Note>

### Sole proprietorships

* **GISA (Gewerbeinformationssystem Austria).** Austria's trade information system, operated by the Federal Ministry of Labour and Economy (BMAW). GISA is the **primary source** for sole proprietorships (Einzelunternehmen), covering trade rights (Gewerbe), business locations, and trade managers. Each trade licence has a unique GISA-Zahl identifier.

<Note>
  GISA provides sole proprietorship data including the owner, trade rights with classification codes, business locations, and appointed trade managers. It does not provide financial statements or historical documents - only a digitally signed trade licence excerpt.
</Note>

### Associations (non-profits)

* **Vereinsregister (ZVR - Zentrales Vereinsregister).** The Central Association Register, operated by the Federal Ministry of the Interior (BMI). The Vereinsregister is the **primary source** for registered associations (Vereine), which are a common legal form in Austria for non-profits, clubs, and civic organizations. It provides the association name, officers with their roles, mailing address, and supervising authority.

<Note>
  The Vereinsregister provides association profiles and a digitally signed register extract (Vereinsregisterauszug). It does not provide financial statements or other documents.
</Note>

### Supplementary sources

* **VIES (VAT Information Exchange System).** The EU-wide VAT validation service is used exclusively during **VAT number searches** to resolve a VAT number to a company name, which is then used to search the Firmenbuch. VIES is **not** a data source for company profile data.

## Company Identifiers

### Query Identifiers

| Company Type             | Source          | Format                    | Example     | Notes                                      |
| ------------------------ | --------------- | ------------------------- | ----------- | ------------------------------------------ |
| **Commercial companies** | Firmenbuch      | 6 digits + 1 letter (FNR) | `184018s`   | Firmenbuchnummer (FN), spaces are stripped |
| **Sole proprietorships** | GISA            | 5–10 digits               | `10118573`  | GISA-Zahl (trade licence number)           |
| **Associations**         | Vereinsregister | 1–10 digits               | `432857691` | ZVR number (Vereinsregisternummer)         |

<Tip>
  **Firmenbuchnummer Format:** The FNR consists of 6 digits followed by a single letter (e.g., `184018s`). The registry format may include a space (e.g., `184018 s`) but all whitespace is automatically stripped.
</Tip>

### Identifiers in API Response

| Identifier Type    | Format            | Example       | Found In                                  |
| ------------------ | ----------------- | ------------- | ----------------------------------------- |
| `firmenbuchnummer` | 6 digits + letter | `184018s`     | Firmenbuch companies                      |
| `gisaZahl`         | 5–10 digits       | `10118573`    | GISA trade licences                       |
| `zvrNumber`        | 1–10 digits       | `432857691`   | Vereinsregister associations              |
| `VAT`              | ATU + 8 digits    | `ATU63496924` | VAT-registered companies (when available) |

## Search Capabilities

| Search Type         | Pattern           | Example             | Source            | Match Type | Expected Results                                                     |
| ------------------- | ----------------- | ------------------- | ----------------- | ---------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| By Firmenbuchnummer | 6 digits + letter | `184018s`           | Firmenbuch        | Exact      | Exact match returned first (matchType: id); other results may follow |
| By GISA-Zahl        | 5–10 digits       | `10118573`          | GISA              | Exact      | Exact match returned first (matchType: id); other results may follow |
| By ZVR Number       | 1–10 digits       | `432857691`         | Vereinsregister   | Exact      | Exact match returned first (matchType: id); other results may follow |
| By VAT Number       | ATU + 8 digits    | `ATU63496924`       | VIES → Firmenbuch | Exact      | Exact match returned first (matchType: id); other results may follow |
| By VAT (no prefix)  | U + 8 digits      | `U63496924`         | VIES → Firmenbuch | Exact      | Exact match returned first (matchType: id); other results may follow |
| By Name             | Text string       | `"Staatsoper GmbH"` | All three         | Fuzzy      | Multiple results (up to 10)                                          |

<Note>
  **Name searches fan out to all three sources** in parallel, returning aggregated results from the Firmenbuch, GISA, and Vereinsregister.
</Note>

<Tip>
  **Search Performance:** Use identifier-based searches (FNR, GISA-Zahl, ZVR, VAT) for best performance and exact matching. Name searches query all three sources and may return up to 10 results per source.
</Tip>

<Note>
  **VAT Search Flow:** VAT searches first validate the number via VIES to retrieve the official company name, then search the Firmenbuch by that name. This two-step process means VAT search results depend on the company name registered with VIES matching the Firmenbuch entry.
</Note>

## Quirks & Gotchas

| Quirk                                      | Details                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         |
| ------------------------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Three distinct sources**                 | Identifier format determines which source is queried. A Firmenbuchnummer (digits + letter) routes to Firmenbuch, a GISA-Zahl (5–10 digits) routes to GISA, and a ZVR number (1–10 digits) routes to the Vereinsregister. Each source covers a distinct entity type with no overlap or fallback. |
| **GISA indexes by person**                 | GISA data is organised around the trade holder (natural person). A search returns trade licences associated with a person. The "company name" for a sole proprietor is the person's full name.                                                                                                  |
| **Vereinsregister name search limitation** | Name searches against the Vereinsregister only return a result when there is exactly one matching association. Ambiguous queries return no results. Use the ZVR number for reliable lookups.                                                                                                    |
| **AI-extracted company data**              | Company profile data from the Firmenbuch (status, legal form, legal representatives, activity codes) is **AI-extracted** from registry data. The `isAIInferred` flag is set on activity codes.                                                                                                  |
| **FNR formatting**                         | Firmenbuchnummer may contain spaces in the registry format (e.g., `184018 s`). These are always stripped to `184018s` in API responses.                                                                                                                                                         |
| **No shareholder data**                    | The Firmenbuch does not expose ownership/shareholder information in its structured data. This data may exist in filed documents (e.g., Gesellschafterliste) but is not available as structured data.                                                                                            |
| **No UBO data**                            | Ultimate beneficial owner information is not available through any of the three sources. Austria maintains a separate UBO register (Wirtschaftliche Eigentumer Register) not currently integrated.                                                                                              |
| **No official activity codes**             | The Firmenbuch does not store NACE or national activity codes. Activity information is AI-inferred from the business purpose text. GISA provides trade classification codes (Gewerbe-Schluessel) but these are not NACE codes.                                                                  |
| **Document format variety**                | Firmenbuch documents can be in various formats: PDF, DOC, DOCX, XLS, XLSX, TXT, XML, HTML. XML financial statements (XBRL) are common for recent filings.                                                                                                                                       |
| **Capital in EUR**                         | Share capital is extracted from the Firmenbuch registry data. Always expressed in EUR.                                                                                                                                                                                                          |
| **Financial statements**                   | Only available from the Firmenbuch. GISA and Vereinsregister do not provide financial documents. Period dates use the reporting date as the end date.                                                                                                                                           |
| **Register extract**                       | The Firmenbuchauszug is retrieved from the official register and may take longer (up to 10 minutes). The GISA-Auszug and Vereinsregisterauszug are generally faster.                                                                                                                            |
| **FlexKapG (new since 2024)**              | Austria introduced the Flexible Kapitalgesellschaft (FlexKapG/FlexCo) as a new legal form on January 1, 2024. It may appear in the Firmenbuch but does not yet have an ISO 20275 ELF code.                                                                                                      |
| **Deleted companies in search**            | The Firmenbuch search filters out deleted companies. Only active/current companies appear in search results.                                                                                                                                                                                    |

## Mappings

### Company Status

#### Firmenbuch

Company status is **AI-inferred** from the Firmenbuch registry data.

| Local Status   | English        | Standardized Status         | Notes                                  |
| -------------- | -------------- | --------------------------- | -------------------------------------- |
| Aktiv          | Active         | Active                      | Company is operating normally          |
| In Liquidation | In Liquidation | Under Insolvency Proceeding | Company is undergoing liquidation      |
| Aufgeloest     | Dissolved      | Closed                      | Company has been dissolved             |
| Konkurs        | Bankruptcy     | Closed                      | Company is in bankruptcy proceedings   |
| Geloescht      | Deleted        | Closed                      | Company has been removed from registry |

#### GISA

Status is determined from the trade licence data (trade right dates and dormancy flag).

| Local Status | English | Standardized Status | Notes                                |
| ------------ | ------- | ------------------- | ------------------------------------ |
| Aktiv        | Active  | Active              | Trade licence is active              |
| Ruhend       | Dormant | Inactive            | Trade licence is temporarily dormant |
| Beendet      | Ended   | Closed              | Trade licence has been terminated    |

#### Vereinsregister

| Local Status | English | Standardized Status | Notes                                           |
| ------------ | ------- | ------------------- | ----------------------------------------------- |
| Aktiv        | Active  | Active              | Only active associations appear in the register |

### Legal Forms

Austria uses a variety of legal forms. Legal form mapping for Firmenbuch entities is **AI-enriched** - the legal form is AI-inferred from registry data and mapped to standardized categories and ISO 20275 codes. GISA entities are mapped deterministically based on the owner type. Vereinsregister entities are always mapped to "Verein".

<Note>
  Because legal form standardization and ISO 20275 assignment are AI-enriched for Firmenbuch entities, exact mappings may evolve. The local Austrian legal form name is always preserved verbatim.

<Note>
  The OHG (Offene Handelsgesellschaft) and OEG (Offene Erwerbsgesellschaft) are **historical legal forms** that were replaced by the OG (Offene Gesellschaft) under the 2007 Austrian company law reform (UGB). Existing OHG/OEG entities may still appear in the Firmenbuch. The **GmbH & Co KG** is not a separate legal form in the ELF code list - it is a Kommanditgesellschaft (KG) where the general partner is a GmbH.
</Note>

<Tip>
  The FlexKapG (Flexible Kapitalgesellschaft), introduced on January 1, 2024, does not yet have an assigned ISO 20275 ELF code. It may appear in the Firmenbuch as "Flexible Kapitalgesellschaft" or "FlexCo".

Legal representatives are extracted from three sources, each with its own role vocabulary.

#### Firmenbuch Roles

Legal representatives are extracted from the Firmenbuch registry data. The classification of roles as **legal representative vs. other key person** is **AI-enriched**.

</AccordionGroup>

<Note>
  The classification of each role as **legal representative** or **other key person** is AI-enriched and depends on the company's legal form context. For example, a Prokurist is typically classified as a legal representative, while a Kommanditist is classified as an other key person. The local German role name is always preserved from the Firmenbuch. Both individuals and corporate entities can hold roles.

<Note>
  GISA only exposes one role type: the appointed trade manager (Gewerberechtlicher Geschäftsführer). The trade holder (Inhaber) is represented as the company entity itself, not as a legal representative.

  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

### Shareholders

Shareholder data is **not available** from any of the three sources. The Firmenbuch provides information about company officers rather than ownership structures.

<Note>
  For GmbH companies, shareholder information may appear in filed documents (e.g., Gesellschafterliste or articles of association). However, this data is not available as a structured data point. Austria maintains a separate Economic Owners Register (Wirtschaftliche Eigentumer Register / WiEReG) that is not currently integrated.
</Note>

### Activity Code Mapping

Austria does not use a formal national industry classification code in the Firmenbuch. Instead, activity information is derived from the business purpose text stored in the registry.

```
Business Purpose Text (German) --> NACE (AI-inferred) --> ISIC (AI-inferred)
```

| Classification | Source                              | Example | AI Inferred? |
| -------------- | ----------------------------------- | ------- | ------------ |
| **NACE**       | Derived from business purpose by AI | `9004`  | Yes          |
| **ISIC**       | Derived from NACE by AI             | `9000`  | Yes          |

<Note>
  **AI Enrichment:** Both NACE and ISIC codes are AI-inferred from the business purpose text in the Firmenbuch. Every activity item includes an `isAIInferred` flag set to `true`. There is no official Austrian activity code in the Firmenbuch data. GISA provides trade classification codes (Gewerbe-Schluessel) but these are used as trade descriptions, not mapped to NACE.
</Note>
