Construction firms are under increasing pressure

Insolvencies are at record highs, HMRC’s CIS reforms add personal liability risk, and one failing supplier can derail your entire project.

  • 17% of UK insolvencies are in construction
  • CIS reforms bring personal director liability
  • Fraudulent labour schemes hide behind shell companies
  • Most firms only check tier-one suppliers

Turn pressure into opportunity with better risk intelligence

Turn rising insolvencies, fraud, and compliance risks into a competitive edge. Predict financial distress, automate checks, and monitor every tier of your supply chain to reduce losses and win more profitable projects.

Protect your construction supply chain with Red Flag Alert

Find the right contractors, subcontractors and suppliers, onboard them fast with automated checks, then continuously monitor every tier of your supply chain so risk never catches you off guard.

01.

Identify healthy contractors and suppliers

Use predictive growth and risk scores to find financially stable contractors and suppliers, and avoid those already under strain.

02.

Onboard contractors in minutes, not weeks

Run credit, AML, sanctions, PEP, UBO, and IDV checks automatically, creating an audit-ready record for every partner you onboard.

03.

Monitor every tier, continuously

Track over 90 events across contractors, subs, and suppliers so you catch signs of distress, fraud, or compliance risk before it disrupts a project.

Protect projects and profits with smarter supply-chain intelligence

Better risk intelligence should safeguard your cash and projects, not create extra work. It’s easier to act decisively when you see risk and opportunity early.

Built for HMRC’s CIS reforms

From April 2026, HMRC’s CIS reforms mean insufficient due diligence can result in personal liability for directors as well as commercial risk.

  • Evidence for the ‘knew or should have known’ test
  • Automated checks to support gross payment status
  • Audit trail for every contractor and supplier
  • Continuous monitoring, not one-off checks
