Company records
Ownership, company status, officers and filing history where applicable.
Sources & methodology
The evidence behind the assessment.
Lionsa checks multiple independent public sources. Which sources are available varies by business, trade and location, so we show what we checked, what contributed, and where evidence is incomplete.
What we may check
Professional registrations
Trade-specific registers, licences, certifications and competent person schemes.
Reviews & reputation
Public ratings, recent feedback patterns and available reputation signals.
Legal & regulatory
Relevant public legal, insolvency and regulatory records where available.
Online presence
Websites, domains, public business profiles and contact information.
Consistency checks
Whether names, people, addresses, phone numbers and other details fit together.
How we handle evidence
Availability varies
Not every tradesperson will have evidence in every category. Absence of a source is not automatically negative.
Sources can disagree
Where information conflicts, Lionsa surfaces the inconsistency rather than silently choosing the most favourable result.
Freshness matters
Where possible, we show the source and date checked so you can understand how current the evidence is.
