The 5-Minute Check Every Builder Should Run","html":"","width":"100%","height":180,"duration":491,"description":"Builders are being approached from outside the industry more than ever. Coaches, planners, consultants, software reps. All of them want the same thing: access to your trust.\nIn this short solo episode, Az shares the background check The Good Builder runs on everyone who approaches the platform, and why builders should run it on everyone who approaches them.\nTwo searches. Five minutes. Before a dollar moves or a meeting is taken.\nSearch one is ASIC. Run their name through the banned and disqualified register. It covers disqualified company directors, not just finance. Run their company through ASIC's company search. Check the ABN. If they claim a licence of any kind, check it with whoever issues it.\nSearch two is the news. Their name and their company through the Google News tab. Bans, court judgments and tribunal findings get reported, and they do not disappear.\nPlus the three questions to ask anyone who makes it into the room, and the reaction that tells you everything.\nRun the check:\nASIC banned and disqualified registers: asic.gov.au/online-services/search-asic-registers/banned-and-disqualified-registers\nASIC register search (company search): asic.gov.au/online-services/search-asic-registers\nABN Lookup: abr.business.gov.au\nFinancial Advisers Register: moneysmart.gov.au/financial-advice/financial-advisers-register\nA clean search is not a clearance, and none of this replaces professional advice. It is the five minutes that too many people skip.\nThink you'd make a good guest?
