Kestrel Ridge Civil: registered, held by an active company
Business verification · Australia & New Zealand
A single register says clear.The network says otherwise.
HopGraph cross-references eleven Australian and New Zealand government registers in one query, then reads the NZ Gazette for early warnings. It follows every director, address and licence between them to surface banned persons, phoenix patterns and cross-border links that a single search can’t see.

Since 1 July 2026
“Reasonable steps” now has a benchmark.
Australian accountants and lawyers must now conduct risk-based customer due diligence using information reasonably available. When eleven public registers can be cross-referenced in one query, checking only one of them gets harder to defend.
ASIC
Companies, licences, advisers and banned persons sit in separate registers.
NZ Companies Office
Entities, disqualified directors and insolvency are three different systems.
Across the Tasman
None of them link to each other, or to the other country.
Worked case · Illustrative composite
How a clear result became FLAGS_FOUND.
Names, identifiers and dates here are fictional. The pattern is real: company failures clustered behind one director are a recognised phoenix indicator, and invisible to a search that looks at one company at a time.

One registered office, four companies, seven years
ASIC Companies + NZBN Register · shared office, VIC 3175
Each successor was registered within 21 days of its predecessor’s liquidation, at the same registered office.
D.M. disqualified by ASIC, Nov 2024, to Nov 2029
The Gazette notice belongs to the NZ company, so it appears when that company is verified; Gazette advisories attach to the entity being checked.
What one query checks
Every hop, in under 100 milliseconds.
Type an ABN, ACN, NZBN or company name. HopGraph resolves the entity, then checks it and every person connected to it.
Company status
Active, deregistered, struck off or under external administration, for Australian and New Zealand entities.
Banned and disqualified persons
Every associated person checked against ASIC’s banned and disqualified registers.
Licences and adviser chains
AFS and credit licence status, and every adviser on a licence cross-matched against the banned registers.
Cross-jurisdictional screening
NZ officers checked against Australian registers; Australian officers against NZ disqualified directors and insolvency.
Director networks and phoenix indicators
Role concentration across the full company register, and company failures clustered in time under the same director.
NZ Gazette early warnings
Winding-up applications, liquidations and receiverships from the NZ Gazette, matched on NZBN or company number only.
Eleven registers. Two countries. One join.
Linked by ABN, ACN and NZBN, and by the people and addresses behind them. Every source is a public government register or publication.

Monitoring
Onboarding is a moment. Risk isn’t.
Watch a New Zealand entity and HopGraph checks every new NZ Gazette notice against it. When a winding-up application, liquidation or receivership notice appears, you hear about it, without re-running the check.
- Matched on identifiers, not namesNotices are linked by NZBN or company number, so a similarly named company never triggers an alert.
- Delivered where you workAn email to your verified address, and an entry on your alerts page and in the API.
- Early, not lateA winding-up application is published while the company is still registered, before any liquidator is appointed.
