About
Contractor compliance. Nothing else.
TradeVerify does one thing for one sector. Not a module in a broader suite, and not a side product from a firm whose real business is something else.
Why it exists
It started as a complaint we kept hearing.
TradeVerify was started in late 2024, out of a frustration heard consistently from strata and property managers across Australia: there was no modern, automated, purpose-built way to handle contractor compliance end to end.
The tools that existed were either too broad, too dated, or built by firms whose core business was something else entirely. Managers were left with spreadsheets, email chasing and manual document checks — a process that produces false confidence, which is worse than no confidence, because nobody goes looking for the gap.
So we built the thing that was missing: an Australian service that takes contractor compliance off a firm's desk — onboarding and chasing their contractors, checking licences against government registers rather than against PDFs, and monitoring insurance against what each trade is expected to hold. We wrote the software behind it ourselves, which is why the checking is done against a register and not against a PDF someone emailed. One job, done properly.
Who
The people behind it
Danny Crane
CEO and Founder
Strata industry specialist with a background across information technology and building services. Skilled in negotiation, business planning, strata management and account management, with an analytical business consulting background covering profitability and cross-selling.
Leslie Leahy
Co-Founder
A seasoned proptech product leader, Leslie has a strong focus on designing and delivering products people love using. Having worked in Australia, MENA, South Africa, Europe and Asia, he has the experience to spin up teams anywhere in the world quickly and efficiently — and to work with those teams (and, increasingly, with AI agents) to ship quality software at a rapid pace.
Product and build
In-house, Australian
The software behind the service is designed, built and run by our own team. It is not outsourced and it is not white-labelled from another vendor.
That is the difference you actually feel: when a registry changes how it answers, or a firm runs a management system we have not connected to before, the work is ours to do rather than a request sitting in someone else's queue.

How we work
Four positions we'll be held to
Validate, don't store
A document store tells you what was true when the document was filed. We check against the register that issued the licence, and we record when we checked.
Free for contractors
The managing firm pays. Verification costs the contractor nothing, because a compliance system contractors won't complete is not a compliance system.
State the gaps
Licensing is State and Territory based, so coverage is a list rather than a claim. Every authority we read from is published, with the date that list was last confirmed — and if a connection is ever lost, it says so rather than leaving you to discover it after signing.
Verify, don't certify
We provide verification, monitoring and an audit trail. We don't certify or guarantee that anyone is compliant, and engaging a contractor remains your firm's decision.
