Our story

Wattle & Wick Studio is a Geelong candle maker that buys wax, glass jars, and printed labels from several small Australian suppliers. Owner Hannah Price joined Paid in 15 because one-person workshops should not have to finance a larger buyer’s slow accounts process. The studio introduced a twice-weekly invoice review and reserved a modest cash buffer specifically for supplier payments. It also began confirming delivery quantities on arrival, so questions are resolved quickly instead of delaying an entire invoice. Over the first two quarters, 31 of 33 eligible invoices were paid within fifteen days, compared with a previous average of 26 days. The faster routine helped two suppliers accept repeat orders with less uncertainty, and Wattle & Wick avoided rushing to find replacement materials during a busy winter run. Hannah says the pledge gave the team a simple standard it can explain to every supplier, without promising growth it cannot responsibly fund.
