Your business is losing dollars in bad debt —
we’ll help reduce that significantly.

We’re not here to replace traditional credit checks — instead, Checkbase adds the missing layer of reputation and ongoing risk monitoring you can’t afford to overlook.

Trust—but verify. Checkbase periodically reviews New Zealand companies by analysing legal, financial, and reputational data from trusted sources. We alert you instantly to any changes that might impact your credit, supply chain, or partnerships, so you can act before risks turn into losses.

With Checkbase, you get continuous, AI-assisted business-risk intelligence — not just static reports. We help you see what’s changing, act earlier, and protect your bottom line. Checkbase doesn’t replace credit checks; it adds the missing layer of visibility that keeps your business one step ahead.

How Checkbase Works

1

Aggregate

We pull and unify company data from official New Zealand sources — including the Companies Register, NZ Gazette, court and insolvency records, as well as other government databases and verified media reports — into a single, searchable profile.

2

Analyse

Our AI links directors, compliance updates, and public events to surface relationships and early-warning indicators traditional credit checks miss.

3

Alert

Receive scheduled updates (weekly, monthly, or quarterly) that flag changes affecting your credit, supplier, or customer base — so you can act before issues escalate.
