Firmendaten by Researchly includes a German-language balance-sheet comparison tool for Austrian companies. The page advertises a free, no-registration comparison of up to four companies and presents financial ratios alongside underlying balance-sheet and income-statement entries. Users can begin with a sample comparison or select companies to examine side by side.
The displayed measures include the equity ratio, profit margin, debt-to-equity ratio, revenue and total assets. Explanations describe how those figures are calculated and why the context matters. The site says its figures come from annual financial statements filed with the Austrian company register, so they reflect a reporting period or balance-sheet date rather than a company's live cash position. It also notes that smaller companies may not be required to disclose revenue.
A useful comparison depends on selecting compatible years, business types and accounting scopes. The page specifically distinguishes an individual company's accounts from consolidated group accounts and warns that one-off effects can distort a simple reading. This makes the tool a starting point for business research, not a substitute for a full credit review or company valuation. A separate competitor-analysis report can be requested, while the free comparison page itself is a narrower, self-service feature.
