Why Critical Records Get Missed

Cradle solves industry problems by making hard-to-search records instantly searchable in one place.

Group 747

Not Searchable by Name

Planning registers, rental licences and shareholder data often can’t be searched by name, making it nearly impossible to connect people to properties and assets.

Group 748

Scattered Across Sources

HMO registers and planning portals are published by individual councils, forcing investigators to dig through multiple websites for every case.

Group 745

Manual Work Eats Up Hours

Even when records can be accessed, sources have to be checked one by one, slowing investigations and increasing the risk of missing important red flags.
