Certa.
Compliance as an operating system. The statutory obligations every property carries, turned into a schedule that keeps itself.
Every commercial property in the UK carries a set of legal obligations it cannot opt out of — fire, gas, electrical, water, asbestos, lifts. Miss one and the exposure is not abstract: fines, void insurance, a building you can no longer legally operate. Most operators track this in spreadsheets and memory. Certa turns it into a system.
Describe a property — its sector, its services, what it contains — and Certa generates the exact compliance schedule the law requires for it. Automated schedule generation, not templates. The system reads the property profile and produces the obligations, frequencies, and deadlines that apply to it specifically.
From there the work flows: certificates and reports filed against each obligation, jobs split between in-house and contractor, and a contractor portal where third parties upload documents through secure, time-limited links without needing an account. A document ingestion pipeline handles what arrives — parsing, validating, filing against the right obligation.
Risk forecasting sits on top — deterministic and auditable. It puts a pound figure on falling out of compliance by combining the statutory fine, the insurance exposure, and the cost of the underlying asset. Transparent arithmetic, shown working, so an operator can see exactly why a number is what it is and act before it matters.
Floor plans serve as a spatial compliance layer — obligations mapped to physical locations within a building, not just listed against a property. Reporting and KPI dashboards track SLA adherence, spend, compliance health by category, and contractor performance. The UI carries compliance rings, AI-assisted badges, heat maps for risk density, and shareable summary views for stakeholders who need the picture without the detail.
Co-founded with someone who lives the problem — he runs a maintenance company, so the compliance burden is his daily reality. He brings the domain and the route to market, through facilities-management operators who feel the same pain. The product, end to end, is mine. Built on Next.js and Supabase, with full per-organisation data isolation from the first migration.
