About

Why we built Entitle Guard®.

Ownership should feel confident, from the moment of purchase to the years that follow. We connect homeowners, builders, merchants and OEMs so compliance, warranties and support are simple.

Our story

It started with a warranty we could not find.

An appliance stopped working. The warranty was still valid and the receipt was somewhere, but two evenings of searching drawers and inboxes turned a two minute job into a small ordeal. Most homeowners can tell the same story. That is where Entitle Guard began.

The contact centres could not find it either.

We called retailers, manufacturers and service teams. The pattern never changed. The person on the phone wanted to help but did not have the information. Receipts buried, serial numbers never captured, warranty terms in a document no one could find. The post purchase years are not a CRM problem. They are an information problem, and no one owned the information.

Builders carry six years of liability. With folders.

Australian residential builders carry six years of statutory liability for major defects after handover. The tools to manage it were a folder of receipts and a spreadsheet out of date the day it was made. Builders were carrying real legal exposure with stationery, and the family in the home was paying for it in not knowing who to call.

Mission and vision
Mission

Bring clarity, control and value to every purchase and every build. We make entitlements, warranties, service and support effortless and transparent for everyone.

Vision

A world where products are owned with confidence, support is simple, and post purchase becomes a moment of trust, not friction.

How we built it
01

Observation. Paper gets lost, email gets buried. Owners and brands both suffer when proof is not at hand.

02

Idea. Unify the lifecycle. One record to register purchases, track coverage and connect support.

03

Build. A consumer app, a merchant and OEM portal, and a builder handover toolkit on one shared record.

04

Scale. Automation first. Reminders, claim integrity checks and lifecycle insights that quietly reduce cost to serve.

05

Impact. Trust compounding. Faster resolutions, fewer tickets, better outcomes.
