SUMMARY
Rentguard was founded 3 years ago by former property entrepreneurs who believed that property transactions could be more efficient, secure and transparent by digitilising its operations.
Our mission is to digitalise the property ecosystem by solving the real pain points in property operations.
Rentguard is currently the leading property technology (PropTech) company in Malaysia. Having been awarded MSC status with 5+5 years zero tax incentives (expiring in the year 2028), Rentguard is the first Malaysia PropTech company that launched the contactless system (Ebooking and Auto Rental Collection) in 2018, which is now used by more than 1000 property negotiators, 10,000 landlords and tenants. More than RM800M gross market value (GMV) of properties have been transacted as at 31st December 2019 and these numbers are still growing despite the COVID-19 pandemic, as consumers are looking for an online solution for their offline operations.
Rentguard were elected to participate in various government funded accelerator programmes, such as MAGIC Stanford Go2Market, Selangor Accelerator Programme (SAP), Asean Data Startup Accelerator Programme (MDEC). This year, Rentguard has been accepted by CRADLE for its 24 months Coach & Growth Programme (CGP).
Our vision is to be the leading PropTech in the region and ultimately, a big data company in the property ecosystem. We invite you to be part of our exciting journey as an equity investor.
PROBLEM
During the COVID-19 crisis, businesses such as food, grocery, utilities and those alike who offer essential services can not only be resilient but also excel as consumers are focussed on basic surviving needs.
As the economy slows down, more people will defer their property purchase plans and continue to stay within the rental market. If this situation escalates, the booking of properties without a physical meet up, signing of official papers, inability of landlords to secure tenants, rental payments, bank reconciliation of the tenants payments will all prove difficult.
SOLUTION
Contactless System
We created Malaysia first Contactless Agency system back in 2018, so that property negotiators can complete the property booking process without the need for physical paper forms and a meet up. We have made this a 2 step process, completed in 5 minutes. This helps users to save tremendous amount of time and increase their sales volume. Our customers, who are property agencies, can process transactions with commissions calculation and full reporting system. Rentguard’s system saves at 50% of administration expenses.
Auto Rental Collection
In 2019, we launched Malaysias first ever auto rental collection system. This system works by obtaining a one time TAC code from tenants online bank account which allows Rentguard to deduct monthly rentals automatically throughout the tenancy period. Property operators who enjoy this product, reduce their bank reconciliation administration work from 45 days to 3 days.
B2B MODEL
Our target customers are businesses who have a larger volume of customers
MARKET
RESILIENT BUSINESS
The recent Movement Control Order (MCO) is tough for everyone, especially businesses. Activities and plan have been put on hold as everyone is staying safe at home. We feel grateful for our clients who work even harder during this period to grow their businesses. Our March rental collection has hit an all time high, with nearly half a month in MCO. Q1/2020 has shown a 48% growth compare to the same period in 2019.
With more rental cases flooding the market in past two weeks, April is estimated to be hit a 28% growth, compare to Q1’s monthly average. We are confident that Rentguard is a resilient business and will see it though Covid-19.
VISION
Rentguard is looking to grow 60X in the next 5 years and confident to deliver a minimum of 20X return to investors with based on the current valuation.

RentGuard Interview on CITYPlus FM Sharing on 香港局势对于“大马第二家园计划“有影响吗？
大马的房屋价格普遍上会比香港便宜10倍左右，加上语言相通、食物口味相近、生活成本廉宜、土地辽阔和人口密集度较低，所以，大马似乎可以成为港人移居的选择城市之一。
目前，香港的局势动荡，未来发展不明朗，导致有些港人萌生了移居国外的念头。那会不会有更多香港人会因此而选择移居到马来西亚呢？大马的房产项目会不会也能从中受惠？

RentGuard Founder featured on Nanyang Siang Pau - "房屋快速出租有技巧"
收租系统开发商RentGuard联合创办人兼营运总监黄治诚接受《南洋商报》访问时说，屋主在出租房子前，方向必须要清楚，并需对自己的目标市场有一定了解。
“比如你的房子坐落在赛城（Cyberjaya）或雪州八打灵再也第13区这些有大学的地区，目标市场自然非学生莫属，那么你就必须懂得学生对住宿的要求，否则就算花费大价钱装修得富丽堂皇，都是无法吸引租客。”
