Late payments and insolvencies are destroying the trade industry. Stagex exists to fix this with escrow-protected milestone payments.
Every payment on Stagex follows the same secure process.
The client deposits the milestone amount into a secure escrow account before work begins. Funds are held by a licensed trustee — visible to both parties.
Your crew completes the milestone. Upload photos, notes, and sign-off documentation directly in Stagex. The client sees real-time progress.
The client approves the milestone or the review window expires. Funds are released to your account automatically — no chasing, no delays.
Build a verified reputation that wins more work. Clients can verify your badge instantly at stagex.app/trust-badge/verify.
Patent pending — 4 provisional applications lodged with IP Australia and the USPTO covering Stagex's core escrow technology.
Everything you need to protect your payments and grow your business.
Break every job into funded milestones. Funds are locked before work starts and released on approval — so you always get paid.
Every milestone, approval, and payment timestamped and tamper-evident.
