OpenData Sheet: Quick lookup for SME public filings

Turns public company filing XML into searchable, comparable tables

Problem

EU open data directives make company filings public in many countries, but raw data is XML or scans and checking a small company's finances is painful. Firmendaten did this for Austria and notes XML extraction is harder than it looks—showing a reusable pain point most countries lack tools for.

Solution

A small search and comparison tool for one country's public filings: enter a company name or registration number to see key financials, year-over-year comparison, and simple charts. Export CSV and share links.

Users

Indie investors doing due diligence, sales and procurement staff, students and journalists researching small businesses

MVP

One country only; parse official XML; search by company name; show 3 core financial metrics with YoY comparison; CSV export

Revenue

Free search + subscription for advanced export/monitoring, or pay-per-query

Why now

More countries publish filings under open data rules but localized parsing tools are scarce; indie developers can win a single market cheaply
