Commercial/Business situation of BIS

Recommended Posts

Where can I find some business information about Bohemia Interactive (finances, partners, employees (number)...)? Does there exist a public "commercial register" like in Switzerland?

I'm very interested. :)

My understanding is that BI is a privately owned company (source: Rock, Paper, Shotgun interview with Maruk last year) and that Maruk is CEO and co-owner.

If it's privately owned, then you can forget about seeing finances.

As far as "partners", that depends on how you define it, but ALTAR Games (UFO: Aftermath, Aftershock and Afterlight) and Black Element Software (ArmA: Queen's Gambit, Alpha Prime and Shade: Wrath of Angels) were acquired subsidiaries of BI, while Centauri Production was picked up by BI in late 2010 but is still around under its own name, seemingly most focused on Memento Mori 2. Also, the BES pages for Alpha Prime and Shade are still up.

As far as employees, from that same interview Maruk mentioned "now about one hundred people on the gaming side, and about the same on the simulation side [bIS also produce military simulator training tech]" in late August 2012, though it seems to be an interviewer error of lumping BI and BISim together since they're both HQ'd in Prague despite seemingly separate personnel right down to having separate CEOs (a seemingly common error in conflating BI and BISim).

The finances... what about that. Private businesses also can divulge their finances. I don't wanna know details. Just actives and passives. A simple thing. They don't have to be ashamed about high or low values. I just wanna know the balance sheet. I wanna know that to decide how much I should donate. ;-)

To my knowledge there is no publicly available information about BI's finances.

I hope there will be. I didn't found anything neither. So I've asked here.

If it's not available then that would be the answer as to whether we wish it to be available :)
