How it works
Type their company name or ABN. We'll find them and confirm who you're actually dealing with.
Licence status, insolvency history, winding up applications, news coverage, and Google Reviews — all at once, while you wait.
No jargon. Green, amber, or red — and exactly what we found, with a link to the source so you can see it yourself.
Take the job knowing what you're signing up for. Or walk away while you still can.
What we check
Active, suspended, or cancelled — checked against the Building Commission WA register in real time. A suspended licence is an immediate red flag.
Liquidation, administration, voluntary wind-up — 66,000+ records checked instantly. Explained in plain english, not legal jargon.
Real-time check of ASIC Published Notices. If someone's just applied to a court to wind them up — we'll find it, even if it happened last week.
Confirms who you're actually dealing with. Detects trust structures, trading names, and entity mismatches — the Flexible Homes problem.
Searches Google News for the company name plus distress terms — insolvency, fraud, court action, revoked licences. WA-focused, last 3 years.
Star rating, review count, AI summary focused on payment and site conditions, and flagged reviews mentioning financial issues.
