Paiva is redefining
how small businesses get paid
Paiva is the invoice and payment company built for founders who don't have a finance team — from creation to collection to cash in the account.
1,200+ businesses use Paiva to manage their invoicing. We process over £48M in invoices annually, and the average Pro user gets paid 11 days faster than before switching.
Founded in 2023, we started with one belief: that chasing payments is a solvable problem. Every feature we've built since — automatic reminders, real-time tracking, cash flow reports — exists to put founders back in control of their own money. Still founder-led, and building for the businesses that don't make the headlines but keep everything running.
For the founder who does everything
You shouldn't need an accountant to understand your own cash position. Paiva makes financial visibility a default, not a weekend project.
For the business that runs on trust
Every invoice you send is a relationship touchpoint. Paiva makes sure it's a professional one, every time, without you having to think about it.
For the team that's growing
As your business scales, your invoicing should scale with it. Paiva grows from freelancer to agency without a different product, a migration, or a new subscription.
