## Status

This site is newly launched and its register connection is not live yet.

Working today: the VAT check, which validates a Greek VAT number directly
against the European Commission's VIES service. Accounts exist: anyone can sign up, and the
dashboard under /app requires being signed in.

Not working yet: everything that reads the General Commercial Registry. Company
search, company profiles, the directory, the rankings, the people index and the
activity pages are all built and rendering their empty states, because no
register data has been loaded. They are not broken and they are not
placeholders — they are correct pages over an empty dataset.

There is no billing and no paid plan; the pricing page describes planned tiers.

## What users can do today

- Check whether a Greek company is registered for VAT, by VAT
  number. The number is validated against EU VIES in real time.
- Validate an IBAN's checksum (ISO 13616 mod-97) in the dashboard, computed in
  the browser.
- Create an account and sign in.
- Read guides about checking Greek companies and about the
  Greek company identifiers.

## What the pages will do once the register is connected

- Search Greek companies by name or Αριθμός ΓΕΜΗ and
  browse matching legal entities.
- Open a published company profile with registration data and financial history
  — revenue, profit, assets, equity and liabilities — for every financial year
  the company has filed a report for.
- Browse the directory of published profiles and the rankings built from them.

## Public pages

Every page exists in Greek and English, each at a URL in its own
language. Greek is the root language, so Greek
URLs carry no language prefix.

## Public API

JSON over HTTPS. No API key and no authentication on the endpoints below.
Responses are edge-cached. Every response is an object with a boolean `ok`
field; on failure `ok` is false and `error` carries a short machine-readable
code such as `not_found`, `invalid_registry_code`, `invalid_vat_number`,
`query_too_short`, `register_not_connected` or `upstream_unavailable`.

- `GET https://overit.gr/api/vat/{vat-number}`
  VAT validation against VIES. Accepts 9 digits, with an optional `EL` prefix. Returns `vat` ({checked, valid, vatNumber}). `checked: false` means VIES
  did not answer — which is not the same as the company not being registered.
  Working today.

- `GET https://overit.gr/api/search?q={name-or-registry-code}`
  Company search. `q` must be at least 2 characters. Currently answers 501
  with `error: "register_not_connected"` until the Business Register feed is
  in place.

- `GET https://overit.gr/api/company/{registry-code}`
  Live company lookup by Αριθμός ΓΕΜΗ (9 to 12 digits).
  Currently answers 501 with `error: "register_not_connected"`.

- `GET https://overit.gr/api/companies`
  The published profiles, as a summary list. Currently empty.

- `GET https://overit.gr/api/companies/{registry-code-or-slug}`
  One published profile in full, including its financial history and, for every
  figure, which report it came from.

The endpoints under /api/auth/ serve the site's own sign-in forms. They are not
for third-party use.

Note: robots.txt disallows crawling of /api/ to keep automated crawlers off the
upstream registers. The endpoints remain publicly callable for direct,
purposeful requests.

## Data sources

- Γενικό Εμπορικό Μητρώο (ΓΕΜΗ) (General Commercial Registry), kept by
  Κεντρική Ένωση Επιμελητηρίων Ελλάδος — the chambers of commerce, under the Ministry of Development — at
  businessregistry.gr. Registration data: business name,
  Αριθμός ΓΕΜΗ, address, legal form, dates, board members and
  shareholders. Not connected yet.
- ετήσιες οικονομικές καταστάσεις (annual financial statements), filed to
  the General Commercial Registry — ΚΑΔ activity,
  undertaking size, filed reports and the figures inside them. Not connected
  yet.
- ΑΑΔΕ — Ανεξάρτητη Αρχή Δημοσίων Εσόδων, whose registry publishes VAT status by ΑΦΜ. Not connected yet.
- VIES (European Commission) — validation of EU VAT numbers. Connected.

The VAT check is proxied straight to VIES and nothing is stored. Published
profiles will be different: their financial history is extracted from filed
reports and stored, so it can be shown year by year and ranked. Every stored
figure records the report it came from, and figures we compute from those
(margins, year-on-year change) are labelled as calculated. Nothing is estimated
or filled in: a figure a report does not state is absent rather than guessed.

Overit Greece is not the authoritative source; the registers above are. Values
can be null when an upstream register has no record.

## Terminology

- Αριθμός ΓΕΜΗ — Greek company identifier,
  9 to 12 digits (Αριθμός Γενικού Εμπορικού Μητρώου), assigned when a company is
  registered. The primary key for a legal entity: it does not change over the
  company's life.
- ΑΦΜ — Greek VAT identification number
  (Αριθμός Φορολογικού Μητρώου), 9 digits. Issued by
  Ανεξάρτητη Αρχή Δημοσίων Εσόδων (ΑΑΔΕ) only to businesses registered as liable for
  VAT. It cannot be derived from the Αριθμός ΓΕΜΗ, nor the
  Αριθμός ΓΕΜΗ from it.
- Γενικό Εμπορικό Μητρώο (ΓΕΜΗ) — General Commercial Registry, kept by
  Κεντρική Ένωση Επιμελητηρίων Ελλάδος (the chambers of commerce, under the Ministry of Development) at
  businessregistry.gr.
- Ανεξάρτητη Αρχή Δημοσίων Εσόδων (ΑΑΔΕ) — the Independent Authority for Public Revenue.
- ΚΑΔ — Κωδικός Αριθμός Δραστηριότητας, the
  Greek classification of economic activities, derived from NACE.
- ετήσιες οικονομικές καταστάσεις — the annual financial statements a company files to
  the General Commercial Registry. The figures on a company profile come from
  these.
- Figures are in EUR unless a report states otherwise.

Legal forms, most common first:

- ΙΚΕ — ιδιωτική κεφαλαιουχική εταιρεία, private company. The most common form for new companies.
- ΑΕ — ανώνυμη εταιρεία, public limited company.
- ΕΠΕ — εταιρεία περιορισμένης ευθύνης, limited liability company.
- ΟΕ — ομόρρυθμη εταιρεία, general partnership.
- ΕΕ — ετερόρρυθμη εταιρεία, limited partnership.
- ΚΟΙΝΣΕΠ — κοινωνική συνεταιριστική επιχείρηση, social cooperative enterprise.
- ατομική — ατομική επιχείρηση, sole trader.

## Authentication

Every page and endpoint listed under "Public pages" and "Public API" above is
open: no account, no session, no API key. Accounts exist for the dashboard only.
/app and everything beneath it requires being signed in. Signing up is free and
gates nothing that is listed above.

## /app — dashboard

/app requires a signed-in account. Its screens — /app/companies, /app/people,
/app/documents, /app/bank, /app/invoices, /app/monitoring, /app/reports,
/app/api, /app/team, /app/settings — are the planned verification dashboard.

They carry no sample data. Every counter reads zero and every list shows an
empty state, because the account genuinely holds nothing and the register is
not connected. The one exception is the IBAN checksum validator on /app/bank,
which is real arithmetic and works.

All of /app is noindex and disallowed in robots.txt. Do not present the
dashboard features these screens describe as currently available.

## Not available

To avoid incorrect assumptions: there is currently no company search, no
company data, no MCP server, no authenticated or rate-limited API tier, no
webhook delivery, no bulk export, no monitoring or alerting product, no
document verification, no bank-account ownership verification, no billing and
no paid plan. Where the marketing pages describe such features, they are
planned rather than shipped.
