The Austrian Business Register is a public schedule maintained by the regional (commercial) courts. It serves to record and disclose facts that must be registered according to the Business Register Statute from 1991, the Enterprise Code from 2005 and other commercial-law provisions. The main ledger is maintained by filing the entries in a central database (Business Register Database) at the Federal Computing Centre in Vienna. Since the middle of 2005 the collection of deeds of all commercial courts are kept in electronic form.

There are about 200.000 active business entities recorded in the Business Register. These include Companies with Limited Liability, General Partnerships, Limited Partnerships, Sole Traders, Stock Corporations, Commercial and Industrial Cooperatives, etc
