A transparent breakdown of what your investment covers – beyond just time, these are the real costs of a thorough investigation.
Why we disclose this: At Sentinel Due Diligence, we believe in full transparency. When you engage us, you're not just paying for our time – you're funding a comprehensive investigation that includes third‑party reports, data processing, and compliance work. Below is a breakdown of the hard costs and the value we deliver.
| Service Component | Description | Cost Range |
|---|---|---|
| ASIC Company Reports | Current and historical company extracts, director details, and lodged documents. Each report can range from 10–20+ pages depending on company history. | $10 – $20 per page |

| Liquidator Report Retrieval | Accessing and reviewing formal reports from liquidators (initial, second, and final reports). These reports can be 50+ pages and require analysis. | $50 – $200 per report |
| Commercial Credit Database Access | Subscription-based access to commercial credit bureaus (CreditorWatch, Equifax, etc.) for payment history and credit scores. | $20 – $50 per search |
| Data Processing & Analysis | Employee time to collate, cross-reference, and verify data from multiple sources. This includes connecting director links, asset transfers, and patterns. | Included in service fee |

Each investigation package includes a specific number of paid ASIC extracts (company and director reports). Additional extracts beyond the included allowance are quoted separately with your approval.
💡 Note: Additional ASIC extracts beyond the included allowance are charged at $10–$20 per page (per extract), and will only be performed with your explicit approval.
Each ASIC extract can range from 10 to 20+ pages depending on the company's history. We pay for every page, and we review every line – because that's where the hidden details live.
Every PPSR search costs a subscription fee. We run these to identify any secured debts that the company hasn't disclosed – a critical step that DIY tools miss.
Liquidator reports can be 50+ pages and are our primary source for phoenix detection. We retrieve, analyse, and summarise these for you.
Connecting the dots between directors, entities, asset transfers, and liquidation dates takes time. This is where human intelligence beats any AI scan.
If we uncover illegal phoenix activity, we can prepare and submit a confidential referral to the ATO Phoenix Taskforce. This work is often included in the Enhanced package.
