The entity structure behind Lead Foundry, which registers you can check it on, and why the ownership chain is the part worth verifying.
If you are considering buying enquiries from Lead Foundry, you should be able to establish who you are dealing with without relying on anything written on this website. This is the structure and where to verify each part of it.
Lead Foundry is the trading name of QuoteHub Limited, a New Zealand registered company, NZBN 9429053430991. The company record is public on the New Zealand Business Number register and shows the directors, the registered office and the company status.
Enquiries sold to brokers are generated on websites the same company operates. QuoteHub at quotehub.co.nz covers insurance, including life cover, income protection, critical illness and family health, and is the source of every enquiry sold today.
LoanWatch at loanwatch.co.nz and loanwatch.com.au is the mortgage brand, covering refinance, first home and equity release. It is in development and not yet live, so no mortgage enquiries are being sold.
Why this is the part to verify: A supplier that owns the site an enquiry came from can tell you which page produced it and what the consumer was told. One that buys data from a publisher usually cannot. Since the Privacy Act obligations around indirectly collected information sit with whoever collects, provenance is your issue as much as theirs.
Lead Foundry supplies enquiries to licensed brokers. It is not an insurer, not a lender, and does not give financial advice. Adviser fulfilment on the consumer side is filed against FSP1010699 on the Financial Service Providers Register, which is public.
Brokers pay Lead Foundry for enquiries they accept. Lead Foundry takes no referral fee or commission from any insurer or lender, so the carrier pays the broker and nothing flows the other way.
That matters for your conflicts position. A supplier paid by a product provider has an incentive attached to which product you place, and a supplier paid only by you does not.
| What to verify | Where | What you should find |
|---|---|---|
| The company, directors and status | New Zealand Business Number register | QuoteHub Limited, NZBN 9429053430991 |
| Financial service registration | Financial Service Providers Register | FSP1010699 for adviser fulfilment |
| Who holds the consumer domains | Public WHOIS | The same entity behind the brands |
| That the brands point back to the entity | Footers of the consumer sites | Consistent entity naming |
If any of those do not line up, that is worth an explanation before money moves. The same test applies to every other supplier you evaluate.
Because the single most useful question a broker can ask a lead supplier is who owns the site the enquiry came from, and most suppliers in this market cannot answer it. Publishing the answer, with the registers to check it against, is cheaper than being asked to be trusted.
