Limitations

• Name search must resolve to exactly one entry

  If `company_name` matches several entries without a unique exact name match, the tool returns a candidate list with names, FN identifiers and seats instead of selecting one. Firmenbuch name search does not rank by relevance; retry using a candidate identifier.

  What to do instead: Call again with registration_number taken from the returned candidate list.

• Status is derived, not a registry field

  `status` is derived from current registration blocks because the Kurzinformation extract has no explicit status field; insolvency or liquidation markers appear in `status_note` only for name searches. Struck-off companies return an error rather than historical data.

• No UBO data

  Austrian beneficial-ownership data lives in the WiEReg (separate register, paid BMF access) and is not part of the Firmenbuch HVD datasets. ubo_availability is reported as unavailable_no_registry.

• Officers limited to the Kurzinformation scope

  The IWG HVD tier returns the Kurzinformation extract: current officers with roles and representation authority. Full historical extracts, documents (Urkunden), and shareholder data are not included in the granted scope.

• VAT numbers are not accepted

  Lookup accepts a Firmenbuchnummer or company name, not an Austrian UID or ATU-format VAT number. The tool does not resolve VAT numbers to Firmenbuchnummer identifiers.

  What to do instead: Look up the company by name, or find its Firmenbuchnummer on an official company document.

• Name lookups take longer than identifier lookups

  Name lookup takes about 4 seconds and can slow down under registry load. A known Firmenbuchnummer supplied as `registration_number` takes about 1 second.

  What to do instead: Pass registration_number instead of company_name when the FN is known.

• Attribution obligation (CC BY 4.0)

  Data is reused under the Austrian IWG with a CC BY 4.0 attribution condition. Every response carries the attribution string in provenance; consumers republishing the data must preserve it.
