One Watch, Every Register
One profile watches ABN, ACN, business name and trade mark records for every entity you're responsible for, with PPSR monitoring too where it applies - so a cancelled ABN, a lapsed business name, or a director appointed without consent reaches you fast, not months later.
> ABN 51 824 753 556 - status changed to Cancelled 2s ago
> Business name "MJH TRADING" - registration expired 14s ago
> ACN 123 456 789 - new director appointed 1m ago
> PPSR security interest registered - ACN 987 654 321 3m ago
> Trade mark "MJH TRADING" - renewal due in 30 days 5m ago

The Problem
These don't announce themselves
None of this shows up until someone tells you - or until it's already cost you something
Cancelled ABN, Discovered Months Later
A company keeps invoicing under an ABN that was cancelled months ago, and nobody notices until a client questions an invoice or a bank queries a payment.
Business Names That Outlive Their Registration
A business name lapses and the company keeps trading under it regardless, unless someone was already watching that specific registration.
Directors Appointed Without Consent
A director is added to a company's ASIC record that the business never approved - sometimes an early sign of identity theft, sometimes just an error nobody caught in time.
Registered Office Changed, No One Asked
The company's registered office moves on the public record without agreement - correspondence, statutory notices and legal service start going somewhere else entirely.
Built for Two Kinds of Watching
You're either protecting your clients, or protecting yourself from theirs
Same monitoring engine, different reason to use it
For Your Clients
Accountants, lawyers, conveyancers, business consultants
You're on the hook for knowing when something changes on a client's file - for ongoing AML/CTF due diligence, corporate secretarial work, or simply because it's your job to know before they do. MonitorHQ watches every client entity for you, so a status change, a lapsed business name, or a new director surfaces quickly, with a record you can point to.
- Ongoing-CDD trigger export for your compliance file
- One monitoring profile per client entity
- PPSR coverage for secured lending and finance files
For Your Risk Book
Lenders, retailers with commercial tenants, franchisors
You extend credit, lease space, or trust a counterparty you don't control. A change on their ASIC record - a director resigning, a registered office moving, an insolvency notice, a new PPSR security interest - is often the earliest public signal that risk is building. Catching it early means renegotiating terms or exiting cleanly, not chasing a bad debt six months on.
- Early-warning signals, not lagging credit reports
- Insolvency notice alerts the moment they're lodged
- Portfolio-wide monitoring across every counterparty
Industries
Monitoring for the way you work
Whether you act for clients, lease to tenants, lend to borrowers or run a group of companies, one profile per entity keeps the record in one place
Accountants
You prepare the BAS, the returns and the financial statements, but you rarely hear when a client's ABN is cancelled, a director is appointed or the registered office moves.
Lawyers
A matter can run for months, and the entities on it do not stand still.
Trade Mark Attorneys
Your docketing system holds the instructions and the deadlines you know about.
Conveyancers
When the vendor or purchaser is a company or a trustee, you are relying on who that entity is and who controls it.
Business Advisors
You advise a spread of small businesses, and none of them check the registers regularly.
Commercial Landlords
Your income depends on tenant companies and guarantors whose status you checked once, at lease signing.
Corporate Groups
A group with dozens of subsidiaries, trusts and dormant entities is hard to keep current on the register.
Franchisors
Each franchisee is a separate entity that you do not control, yet its status affects your brand, your royalties and your other franchisees.
Real Estate Agents
Sales and leasing often involve companies and trusts rather than individuals, and the entity you checked at listing or lease signing can change before settlement or well into a tenancy.
Mortgage Brokers
Commercial and business lending files depend on the borrower and guarantor entities staying as you described them to the lender.
Trade Suppliers
You extend trade terms to business customers whose position you checked when the account opened.
Financial Advisers
Your business owner clients often hold wealth through companies, trusts and SMSF trustee companies, and advice depends on those structures being what you think they are.
Lenders
Counterparty monitoring across a lending or credit portfolio.

Questions
Straight answers
What does MonitorHQ monitor?
One profile per entity watches its ABN, ACN and business name records, and PPSR security interests where the entity is registered with an ACN, ARBN or ARSN. You are alerted by email when something changes, with webhooks and an API on higher plans.
Who is MonitorHQ for?
Professionals who act for other entities, such as accountants, lawyers, conveyancers and advisers, and teams that deal with counterparties they do not control, such as lenders, commercial landlords, trade suppliers, franchisors and corporate groups.
How is this different from checking ABN Lookup or ASIC myself?
A manual lookup only tells you the status at the moment you look. MonitorHQ keeps watching every entity in the background and alerts you when something actually changes, across ABN, ACN, business name and PPSR records in one profile.
Does PPSR monitoring cover every entity?
No. PPSR security interest monitoring covers entities registered with an ACN, ARBN or ARSN. ABN-only entities such as trusts, sole traders and partnerships are covered by ABN and business name monitoring.
How often are entities checked?
Check frequency depends on the entity's risk tier, from every few hours for priority entities to weekly for low-risk ones. How quickly an alert reaches you can also depend on factors outside our control, such as when a register updates.
Can I try it before paying?
Yes. Every plan starts with a free trial and you are not charged unless you confirm your subscription during the trial.
