The company also intends to finance the invoices of freelancers and SMEs and increase its total payroll by 60% by recruiting 15 new profiles.
Aria, Paris, France, was founded in 2020 by Clément Carrier and Vincent Folny. “We founded Aria with the ambition to give all businesses access to financing solutions. And this, regardless of the economic situation in which they find themselves,” said Aria co-founder and CEO Clément Carrier. “We are therefore offering the possibility for freelancers and small businesses to be paid instantly and directly using the tools and services they use on a daily basis. This funding will strengthen Aria’s position while giving us the means to continue our growth on a European scale. We are delighted to see the confidence and interest of a leading European investor like M&G Investments in our business.”
