## Status

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

Working today: account sign-up. Accounts exist: anyone can sign up, and the
dashboard under /app requires being signed in.

Not working yet: everything that reads the Business Registers Agency's company register. 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.

The VAT check is a special case: Serbia is not an EU member state, so
the European Commission's VIES service does not carry its VAT numbers and the
check reports that rather than calling a service that cannot answer.

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

## What users can do today

- Check whether a Serbian company is registered for VAT, by VAT
  number. Not available for Serbia: VIES covers EU member states only.
- 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 Serbian companies and about the
  Serbian company identifiers.

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

- Search Serbian companies by name or matični broj 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 Serbian and English, each at a URL in its own
language. Serbian is the root language, so Serbian
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.rs/api/vat/{vat-number}`
  VAT validation against VIES. Accepts 9 digits, written without a country prefix. Returns `vat` ({checked, valid, vatNumber}). `checked: false` means VIES
  did not answer — which is not the same as the company not being registered.
  Not available: VIES covers EU member states only, and Serbia is not one.

- `GET https://overit.rs/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.rs/api/company/{registry-code}`
  Live company lookup by 8-digit matični broj.
  Currently answers 501 with `error: "register_not_connected"`.

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

- `GET https://overit.rs/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

- Registar privrednih subjekata (Business Registers Agency's company register), kept by
  Agencija za privredne registre (APR) — the Serbian Business Registers Agency — at
  apr.gov.rs. Registration data: business name,
  matični broj, address, legal form, dates, board members and
  shareholders. Not connected yet.
- finansijski izveštaj (annual financial statements), filed to
  the Business Registers Agency — Klasifikacija delatnosti activity,
  undertaking size, filed reports and the figures inside them. Not connected
  yet.
- VIES (European Commission) — validation of EU VAT numbers. Not applicable: Serbia is not an EU member state.

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

## Terminology

- matični broj — 8-digit Serbian company
  identifier (matični broj), assigned when a company is
  registered. The primary key for a legal entity: it does not change over the
  company's life.
- PIB — Serbian VAT identification number
  (poreski identifikacioni broj), 9 digits, written without a country prefix. Issued by
  Poreska uprava only to businesses registered as liable for
  VAT. It cannot be derived from the matični broj, nor the
  matični broj from it.
- Registar privrednih subjekata — Business Registers Agency's company register, kept by
  Agencija za privredne registre (APR) (the Serbian Business Registers Agency) at
  apr.gov.rs.
- Poreska uprava — the Serbian Tax Administration.
- Klasifikacija delatnosti — Klasifikacija delatnosti (2010), the
  Serbian classification of economic activities, derived from NACE.
- finansijski izveštaj — the annual financial statements a company files to
  the Business Registers Agency. The figures on a company profile come from
  these.
- Figures are in RSD unless a report states otherwise.

Legal forms, most common first:

- d.o.o. — društvo s ograničenom odgovornošću, private limited company. The most common form.
- a.d. — akcionarsko društvo, joint-stock company.
- o.d. — ortačko društvo, general partnership.
- k.d. — komanditno društvo, limited partnership.
- preduzetnik — preduzetnik, sole trader.
- ustanova — ustanova, institution.

## 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.
