OpenFirmenbuch
Free tool for easily accessing Austrian company data
About the Project
The OpenFirmenbuch, developed by WhizUs in 2025, provides free access to Austrian company data including annual financial statements, management reports, and other corporate information previously only available via paid channels.
Following an EU amendment implemented in Austria in March 2025, this information became publicly available. However, accessing it still required extensive technical expertise. OpenFirmenbuch presents this data in a user-friendly manner and allows for simple PDF downloads of various documents.
OpenFirmenbuch is completely free, without usage restrictions, and requires no registration.
