It began with an idea from accountants, Charlotte and Andrew Petris, to shake up the traditional business funding model.

“We had a vision to create an online marketplace that empowers businesses by freeing up access to cash flow, while also providing investors with new investment opportunities.”

Growing up in a family business, Charlotte personally understood the challenges faced by business owners, many of which stemmed from cash flow constraints. But it was during their careers working in large banks and financial institutions where they saw first-hand all of the ways finance, people and culture could be done differently – and better.

“We are passionate about challenging those traditional ways of doing finance and fascinated by the coming together of finance and technology and the scale of change this brings to society.”

Launched in 2015, Timelio has provided hundreds of businesses, as well as large corporates, with innovative funding solutions supporting growth in every state across Australia. But for us this is just the beginning!
