X-ray your contractor before you sign

We cross-reference 9 official databases and run over 20 independent checks: CITIUS (court proceedings, insolvencies, executions, mass litigation, and edital citations), IMPIC (construction licenses), Commercial Registry via NIF.pt (company data and activity status), Ministry of Justice Publications (directors, shareholders, annual accounts, and corporate changes), Tax Authority and Social Security debtor lists, Portal Base (public contracts), ACT labor sanctions, and civil proceedings across 197 Portuguese courts. Beyond the sources, we analyze each director's personal history, detect phoenix company patterns, and verify fiscal compliance.

The ObraCheck report (€19.99) includes over 20 automated checks: insolvencies, PER, executions and court proceedings on CITIUS, civil proceedings as defendant across 197 Portuguese courts, edital citations (ghost companies), IMPIC license verification, ACT labor sanctions, personal analysis of directors and shareholders against court records, phoenix company detection, tax (AT) and Social Security debts, annual accounts filing status, risk score from 0 to 100, concrete recommendations, automatic email alerts, and a professional PDF. The difference between checking manually and using ObraXRAY is that we cross-reference 9 official databases automatically and identify patterns not visible when consulting each source separately, like directors with insolvency histories at other companies or companies that courts cannot locate. No service in Portugal does this. If you prefer to verify manually, we published a free step-by-step guide.

Yes. All data comes from 9 official Portuguese government sources: court records from CITIUS (insolvencies, executions, editals, Portaria 200), construction licenses from IMPIC, commercial registry data, Ministry of Justice publications, Tax Authority and Social Security debtor lists, ACT labor sanctions, civil proceedings from 197 Portuguese courts, and public contracts from Portal Base. Data is fetched directly from these sources at the time of search, not from old copies. However, our reports are informational and do not constitute legal advice. For important legal decisions, we always recommend consulting a lawyer. If you want to verify the data yourself, we published a step-by-step guide on how to check each official source for free.

Data is fetched from official sources when someone searches for or purchases a report on that contractor, and cached for 7 days. Since we have thousands of contractors in our database, it's not possible to update them all automatically. In practice, data is refreshed when a user searches, buys a report, or uses the 'Refresh' button on the contractor page. The date next to 'Consulted' shows when data was last fetched.

Alerts are included with every report purchased, for 90 days, no subscription required. Whenever there are relevant changes to the contractor (new court proceedings, an insolvency declaration, IMPIC license changes), ObraXRAY automatically alerts you by email. This matters especially because in an insolvency you have only 30 days to file your creditor claims with the court. Without monitoring, many people only discover the insolvency after the deadline has expired. After 90 days you can re-verify (9.99 EUR) for a fresh window with updated data, or extend coverage with Continuous Protection if your build is still in progress.
