Problem
Australian insolvency notices tell professionals that a company entered external administration, but raw notices do not reveal which legal entity is actually affected. Trading names, former names, and group structures obscure the true counterparty, making it difficult for credit teams and risk managers to assess their commercial exposure accurately.
Solution
The Open Register turns ASIC insolvency notices and other primary public records into a weekly evidence-backed briefing that explains what a corporate distress event means for commercial exposure. Each Friday, the company publishes one analysis that resolves trading names, former names, and group entities to the correct legal entity, so professionals can determine whether the company they deal with is the one in trouble. The complete resolved register of all Australian insolvency notices remains free and searchable online on every ASIC publication day. The company is also developing an Exposure Desk service that would match customer records against resolved corporate-distress data to surface relevant insolvency changes without requiring manual scanning of the full register.
Target Audience
Primary users are credit professionals, risk managers, and commercial teams who need to monitor counterparties, customer books, or market sectors for signs of corporate distress. The service also serves insolvency practitioners and legal professionals tracking appointments and court proceedings.
