About
Built in Melbourne. Built for Aussie trades.
Why we exist
Aussie residential trades run on trust, but trust alone doesn't pay for materials. Tradies finance other people's renovations out of their own pockets. Homeowners pay deposits and hope. When something goes sideways, the legal pathway is months long and expensive enough that most people just absorb the loss.
We built TradeFlo+ because there's a better way to handle the money. Confirm full-job funding upfront. Release it milestone by milestone as the work's approved. If something's wrong, run a structured dispute with a clock on it — not a 14-month VCAT marathon. The technology to do this properly has existed for a decade. Nobody had built it for the Australian residential trades. So we did.
What we believe
Four things we won't compromise on.
Tradies should get paid on time, every time.
If the work's approved, the money moves. End of conversation.
Homeowners deserve proof, not promises.
Photos on every milestone. Audit log on every dollar. Cancel before release, get your money back.
Disputes need a clock.
Open-ended disputes serve nobody except the lawyers. Structured timelines, evidence-based decisions, regulator backstop.
Plain English beats jargon.
If we can't explain a fee, a process, or a clause in one sentence, we haven't designed it well enough yet.
Who's behind it
