Counts are from the ACRA snapshot the tools read. Statuses change. The snapshot date is printed on every result, so a reader can tell how fresh the read is.
Process
How a check works.
01
Start with the UEN
Type the UEN from the invoice, or type the name and pick the match.
02
Read the public record
Status, entity type, registration date, and what the record does not show.
03
Decide before money moves
Pay, sign, or ship on terms only when the name and UEN match the invoice and the status is Live.
Baseline
What a legitimate company leaves behind.
A legitimate company leaves a paper trail in the public registers. A check reads that trail before you commit. When the trail is missing, or does not match the invoice, that is the answer.
THE BASELINE
- A record exists in the ACRA snapshot.
- The name and UEN match the invoice exactly.
- Status is Live, and GST registration matches if they charge GST.
RED FLAGS
- No record for the UEN.
- Name or UEN differs from the invoice.
- Struck off, or gazetted to be struck off.
Why free
The check is worth more before the payment than after it.
Every check here reads the same public registers a buyer would read before paying. We publish the tools and the guides free because a two-minute read before the first payment beats a two-month chase after it. The desk itself lives at Aidesk now: Oxaide is the research, Aidesk is the desk.

Questions
Asked, answered.
- Is the research really free?
- Yes. The four tools and all 25 guides are free, no signup and no payment. Oxaide sells nothing.
- Where does the data come from?
- The public registers: ACRA via BizFile, IRAS for GST, URA and GeBIZ for the data pages. Every guide cites its sources, and every tool states its snapshot date.
- Is this advice?
- No. Research, not advice. Confirm Live status on BizFile before money moves.
- What if a company is not in the snapshot?
- Likely a typo, an entity registered after the snapshot date, or a string that was never issued. Check the letters against the invoice, then read the legitimacy guide.
