Facts from the record. In plain English.
We're not a review site. We turn New Zealand's official company record into a plain-English background check, so you can see who you're dealing with before you commit.
No account, results in minutes.

Private, and only the facts
Your check is yours. The builder is never notified, and we don't publish individuals' personal details. We deal in companies and the public record, and we don't manufacture concern to make a sale. If there's nothing on the record, we say so plainly.
