The Cloud-Based SaaS Platform for Contractor Compliance

Trusted by general contractors, compliance teams, and developers nationwide.
Look Up Your First Contractor FreeOne unlicensed sub can cost you everything.
A revoked license you didn't catch. A lapsed Workers' Comp policy. An expired insurance certificate sitting in a drawer. These things happen every day — and when they do, you're the one on the hook for lawsuits, audit penalties, and jobsite shutdowns.
You're trusting PDFs that nobody checks
Legacy platforms just collect uploaded certificates. They never check the actual state database. That "active" license on the PDF your sub sent you? It could have been revoked last week — and you'd have no way of knowing.
Your subs are paying to prove they're up to date
Legacy platforms charge every sub $300-$600+/yr just to upload paperwork. That cost gets passed down to your subs, who push back, drag their feet, or walk off the job entirely. You lose good subs over bad software.
Your insurance carrier audits what you can't prove
Insurance carriers audit you every year. Any sub without documented coverage on file? They count as your employee. That means back-charges on your premium — sometimes $100K or more.
Spreadsheets don't catch expirations at 2 AM
A license expires. A Workers' Comp policy lapses. An insurance endorsement was never actually added. If you're tracking this in spreadsheets, you won't catch it. You'll find out when the claim hits.
What if you could look up everything at the source?
TradeProof checks the same government databases the state uses. License status, Workers' Comp coverage, carrier information, policy details. We pull it directly from the source every night — so you always have the latest data, not last month's PDF.
Live in 30 seconds. Looked up nightly.
Add your subcontractors
Enter license numbers or bulk-upload a CSV. We'll match them against the state database instantly.

Free Sub Portal ($0 for subs)
