About Grunt IP

Built by someone who's been there.

Grunt IP exists because chasing unpaid invoices shouldn't cost you more than the invoice itself. Here's why we built it, and how it actually works.

The Problem

Every option was built to cost you.

Before Grunt IP, a business owner chasing a late payment had three bad choices, and every one of them ate into cash flow.

Debt collectors

Take a cut of whatever they recover, so you're paying a percentage just to get your own money back.

Invoice insurance

Charges an upfront premium to cover every invoice you send, including the ones that were always going to pay on time.

Legal action

Costs more than the debt itself to even begin, before you know whether you'll see a cent of it back.

From the Founder

Built because I got
burned. Badly.

"I remember doing the maths on what it would cost to chase unpaid invoices. Every option meant losing money just to try to recover it."

I'm Shaun Jones. I ran my own business, delivered the work, sent the invoices, and then waited. When clients didn't pay, I quickly realised how powerless the system leaves you. So I built the thing that didn't exist: $4 per invoice, pay as you go, full legal protection, no subscription. You choose which invoices to protect. We handle everything if it goes wrong.

Founder, Grunt IP

We're here to change the rules.

For too long, small businesses have stayed quiet about late and unpaid invoices, worried that chasing what they're owed might cost them the relationship, or the next job. That fear costs Australian businesses more time chasing money than building the business itself.

Grunt IP exists to change that. We're here to restore the balance, hold non-payers accountable, and stand as the unbreakable backbone behind businesses that do the work and deserve to be paid for it.

Our Values

What we actually stand for.

Three things drive every decision at Grunt IP.

Honesty

We don't just protect you from late or unpaid invoices, we make sure your customer actually received what they paid for first. Every customer gets the chance to dispute an invoice before it ever goes legal.

Accountability

If your customer agreed to your terms, they're responsible for honouring them, and for what happens if they don't. We work alongside skilled legal partners to hold them to that.

Self-determination

Getting paid on the terms you agreed to shouldn’t be what decides whether you succeed. Your future belongs in your hands, not sitting in someone else’s account collecting interest.

Why You Can Trust Us

Nothing to hide. Nothing to worry about.

Australian owned, Gold Coast based

Built and run in Australia by a small business owner who lived this exact problem, not a faceless platform run out of somewhere else.

Your money never touches our hands

Your bank details sit on your invoice. Payment goes straight to you, every time. We’re never in the middle of your cash flow.

Independent legal partners

If it escalates, it's handled by an independent legal partner, not an in-house team. We don't make money by taking things to court.

Straight terms, no lock-in

No subscriptions, no minimum spend, no contracts. Just a flat $4 fee on the invoices you choose to protect, and nothing else to sign up for.

Stop chasing. Start protecting.
