What is B2G Account?

AFSA's framework for approved PPSR account-customer organisations and the source-availability boundary for org-only PPSR searches.

Business-to-Government Account (AFSA)Last updated 2026-05-19

A B2G Account ("Business-to-Government Account") is the AFSA contract framework that lets approved organisations relay PPSR searches to end-users without each user holding a direct AFSA contract.

How it works

  1. Applicant lodges a B2G Account Customer credit application with AFSA and undergoes due diligence (corporate identity, fit-and-proper checks, AML/CTF posture, technical capability).
  2. On approval, the account holder is issued an account number and a scope (org-only, full, or restricted).
  3. Account holder pays AFSA per search (A$2 per organisation/serial search) and may charge a workflow fee on top.
  4. Searches are issued under the account holder's account number with a per-search reference set by the end-user.

Hoist' standing

Hoist publishes the current AFSA access status at /trust/afsa-b2g. Its future PPSR contract is org-only, but preview and paid search are currently unavailable. Requests fail closed without a price or register dispatch, and a B2G application, credential, OAuth scope, account, or plan does not establish customer access.

How Hoist uses this

Hoist uses this framework to explain why PPSR remains unavailable and what evidence would be required before an org-only launch claim. See /trust for current standing.
