Company Health Check
Before you hire a tradesperson, check whether their company is still an active business. We search the company status data we hold and name the register behind every status.
The definitive source is the official register. Search it directly here: Search ASIC Connect (opens in new tab).
Not affiliated with ASIC Connect. Always confirm on the official register.
How to check a company yourself
Whether or not we hold a match, you can confirm a company's status in a couple of minutes.
- Search the official register (ASIC Connect) for the company name.
- Check the status line reads active or registered, not deregistered or under external administration.
- Check the company name on the register matches the name printed on your quote or invoice.
- Be cautious if the company was formed very recently, or if an older company with a similar name was recently dissolved. Ask about it before you commit.
For the full public-evidence view of a tradesperson, including reviews, credentials and risk signals, use the Dodgy Tradie Check.
