Good companies get the basics right.
Basic is a family trust that checks companies on the five pillars of running a business well — sound books, fair pay, compliance, safe systems and grounded decisions — and recognises those that pass as A Basic Company.
Every recognised company gets a seal with a unique number anyone can verify.
Trust shouldn't take guesswork.
For customers
Know at a glance that a supplier is properly registered, insured and fair in how it does business.
For companies
Show that the unglamorous essentials are in order. A small sign that saves a lot of due diligence for everyone you work with.
For partners & lenders
Check any seal in seconds. Every recognition is listed, dated and can be revoked if standards slip.
Five pillars, built from the ground up.
Based on the Trianzor Balance Framework™. We don't rate how big, fast-growing or fashionable a company is, only whether each layer is solid enough to carry the next.
Strategy & Advisory
Decisions grounded in reliable numbers, and a plan for a bad day.
Technology & Automation
Systems that protect data and keep controls working, in proportion to the company's size.
Compliance & Governance
Properly registered, taxes paid, and straight with customers.
Payroll & People Operations
Everyone who works there has a contract and is paid correctly and on time.
Bookkeeping & Financial Control
Books are accurate, current and reconciled, and the company pays what it owes on time.
From application to seal.
