How it works

A straight answer
in under 60 seconds

01

Search them

Type their company name or ABN. We'll find them and confirm who you're actually dealing with.

02

We check everything

ATO defaults, court records, licence status, director history, social mentions. All at once, while you wait.

03

Plain english result

No jargon. Green, amber, or red — and exactly what we found, with a link to the source so you can see it yourself.

04

Go in eyes open

Take the job knowing what you're signing up for. Or walk away while you still can.

What we check

Everything the big end
of town checks

🏛

ATO tax defaults

If they owe the Tax Office over $100k and haven't paid — we'll know. This is the biggest early warning sign and almost nobody checks it.

⚖️

Court judgments & writs

WA Magistrates, District and Supreme Court records. Who's been taking them to court — and winning.

🪪

Builder's licence

Active, suspended, or cancelled — checked against the Building Commission WA register. A suspended licence is an immediate red flag.

📋

Director history

Who really runs this company. Previous companies they've been involved in — including any that went under.

🔗

Who's above them

Your contractor might look fine — but if the developer they're working for is in trouble, your contractor's cashflow dries up fast. We check up the chain.

📣

What subbies are saying

Facebook groups, Google Reviews, Reddit. Volume and recency of complaints — not gossip, just numbers and links so you can read for yourself.

🏗

Active project check

Which estates and developments they're currently working on — and who the developer is behind those projects.

💸

Community payment reports

Other subbies report their payment experiences. If there's a pattern of slow or missing payments, you'll see it here.
