Licence valid. ABN active. One lookup.

An ABN, a builder licence, and a clean ASIC record are three different searches across three different government portals. We cross-reference them in one query — and tell you the moment any of them changes for a builder you've worked with.

CLEAR
Why this matters: the QBCC suspension was published 6 days ago. The ABN, ASIC, and notices feed all show clean. Without the licence cross-check, this builder still looks fine on a single-portal search.
The single-portal problem

Three registers, three websites, three browser tabs.

A builder's status lives across at least three government systems: ABR for the ABN, ASIC for the company, and the state regulator for the trade licence. Any one of them can change overnight. Most subbies check none of them after the first quote.

The old waywithout Company Radar

You check the licence once. Six months ago.

You verified QBCC at quote time. Now it's month four of the job. The licence got suspended in week six and you didn't know — because nothing in your inbox told you. The head contractor's GST cancelled in week eight. Same story. The ASIC notice came last Tuesday. Same.

The new waywith Company Radar

One ABN. Every register. Live.

Type the ABN. We pull the ABR record, the ASIC company record, every state-licence register that matches the trading name, and the ASIC notice feed. Add the builder to a watchlist and we email you the moment any of them changes.

Workflow

Three checks before you put boots on site.

CHECK 01

Cross-register the licence

We match the ABN to the QBCC, VBA, and NSW Fair Trading registers. Suspended, expired, or no licence at all under that ABN — the page tells you in one row, with the link to the source register and the date it was last updated.

CHECK 02

ABN & GST history

An ABN cancellation or GST de-registration is one of the earliest credit-event signals. We track the dates and reason codes for every ABN in your watchlist — so when a head contractor de-registers GST, you stop the next variation invoice that day.

CHECK 03

ASIC notice watchlist

Add every builder you sub to into a watchlist. The instant a s436A notice or liquidator appointment is published against that ACN, we email and SMS you. Stop work before you do another variation.

I run a 14-person carpentry crew. We were quoting a $180k fitout for a builder whose QBCC licence got suspended the week we were about to sign. Caught it on the watchlist that morning. Walked away. The builder went into administration eleven weeks later.
