The problem

Every funder asks the same question:
“Can we trust this business?”

Grant bodies, procurement teams and partners each run their own due diligence — and businesses repeat the same paperwork over and over, with no independent stamp to point to. There has never been a single, trusted way to show a business is well-run. That is the gap BVT closes.

What BVT is

A credential that does the
vouching for you.

BVT turns a thorough, evidence-backed review of your business into a single certificate that anyone can trust at a glance — and verify in seconds.

Independently reviewed

Every certification is examined by our team against documented evidence — not auto-scored by an algorithm.

Evidence-based

Businesses answer detailed assessments and submit supporting documents that back up every claim.

Verifiable by anyone

Each certificate carries a unique number and QR code that links to a public verification page.

Publicly discoverable

Certified businesses are listed in the BVT Connect directory, so funders and partners can find them.

What we assess

A complete picture of
how well you run.

BVT assessments examine the areas funders and partners care about most — built around recognised governance and compliance frameworks for Australian organisations.

Governance & constitution

Registration, rule book, member rights and how decisions are made.

Board & directors

Board structure, director obligations, meetings and conflict management.

Financial management

Reporting, budgeting, controls, delegations and external audit.

Operations & HR

Employment compliance, records, contracts and workplace safety.

Risk & continuity

Risk registers, insurance, business continuity and cyber resilience.

Reporting & compliance

Lodgement obligations, external reporting and regulatory responses.

ESG

Environmental, social and governance practices for the comprehensive tier.

The certificate

One link that settles
the trust question.

A BVT certificate is not a PDF that could be edited. It is a live, verifiable credential — anyone can confirm it is genuine without taking your word for it.

Unique number & QR code

Anyone can scan or enter the number to confirm a certificate is genuine and current.

Public verification page

A shareable link shows the business, score band and validity — no login required.
