A Business Reference Letter is a crucial document in Austrian business practice, used to provide formal verification and evaluation of business relationships between commercial entities. This document type is particularly relevant when companies seek to establish new business relationships, participate in tender processes, or require third-party validation of their business conduct. The letter must comply with Austrian legal requirements, including the Business Enterprise Code (UGB), Civil Code (ABGB), and data protection regulations (DSG). It typically includes information about the duration and nature of the business relationship, performance assessment, reliability in meeting obligations, and general business conduct. The document should be drafted carefully to ensure accuracy and objectivity while avoiding potential liability for misleading statements. Business Reference Letters are widely recognized in Austrian business circles as important tools for building trust and facilitating new business relationships.
