PPSR + ABN diligence for business sale transactions.
At S2-gate launch, Hoist Assets will give business brokers PPSR and ABN searches on a target company during sale due diligence, with a Due Diligence Record formatted for the data room. Today we're in the S1-gate validation sprint — the sandbox against three fixture organisations is live; real AFSA traffic and paid plans are not.
A day, before and after Roadmap (S2-gate)
Engage a lawyer to run PPSR. Wait 2 days. Get a verbal report. Pay A$500+.
Search on the morning a Letter of Intent is signed. Drop the record into the virtual data room. The buyer's lawyer reads the same PDF you do.
Workflows on the roadmap S2-gate
Pre-listing search
Plan: brokers running vendor DD before a listing search the target's ACN, identify any registrations the vendor forgot to mention, and address them before going to market. Real AFSA traffic ships at S2-gate.
Record with verifiable URL
Plan: records will carry a shareable verify URL so the buyer's lawyer can verify the hash hasn't been altered without contacting AFSA themselves. PDF + verify URL pipeline is S2-gate work.

FAQ
01Will the buyer's lawyer accept this?
They get the AFSA certificate (which is the legal artefact) plus the Hoist record showing when you ran the search and that it hasn't been altered. Lawyers we've spoken to like the contemporaneity proof; ask yours.
