Stage 1. Insurance, Licence, ABN
What is the need?
Would you use a service provider/contractor who has problems with their Contractor Registration, insurance, licence or ABN?
Insurance Issues:

- No public liability insurance
- Incorrect type of insurance
- Inadequate value of insurance
Licence Issues:
- Unlicenced
- Licence has expired
- Wrong category of licence
- License was cancelled after issue
ABN Issues:
- Cannot provide an ABN
- Uses an ABN that is not linked to the trading name on invoice thus affecting licences and insurances
- ABN is fictitious
