A public registry that actually reads like one.

If you’re an Australian accountant, lawyer, credit manager, or journalist, you already know the drill. You need to know whether a company is trading, solvent, owned by whom, and licensed for what. The answer is always yes, it’s public, and always after you’ve logged into four different sites and paid ASIC $45 for a current extract.

We built Company Radar because that friction has a cost, and it’s borne disproportionately by small firms. A big-4 team has a Bloomberg-grade subscription. A sole-practitioner conveyancer has a spreadsheet and Google. That’s the gap we sit in.

Where the registers publish an official feed — ASIC’s Market Announcements, the ABR bulk extract — we consume it directly. Where they don’t, we fetch the public page the way a diligent human would: rate-limited, respectful of robots.txt, and always cited back to the source.

Every field on every profile says which register it came from and when we last read it. When an insolvency notice is lodged with ASIC, we know within minutes. When a GST registration lapses, we flag it. When a winding-up application hits the Federal Court list, it’s on your watchlist before the hearing. Our full source list is on the Data attribution page.
