Who is responsible for the Business Register?
The Business Register is maintained by the Business Register Courts. These courts oversee the entries and updates of companies listed in the register and ensure the legal accuracy of the information.

In Vienna, the Commercial Court of Vienna is responsible; in the other federal provinces, the respective Regional Courts are competent. Local jurisdiction is generally determined by the registered office of the company.
This ensures that every company in Austria is assigned to a specific Business Register court and that entries are made centrally, correctly and in a legally secure manner.
Official information and contact details for the Business Register Courts can be found on the website of the Federal Ministry of Justice (BMJ).
