About Oneflare

Oneflare was started by three entrepreneurs from Sydney; Marcus Lim, 27, Tommy Lim, 26 and Adam Dong, 25. Marcus, Tommy and Adam (also known as 'The Flares') share a passion for online technology and a vision for simplifying the way Australian consumers hire local home service providers.

The Story Behind the Name

The inspiration for the Oneflare name came from the helplessness that consumers often feel when looking for home service professionals. Who to call, how much to pay and what questions to ask were all a mystery. Customers felt like they were trapped on a desert island, searching in the sand for help. Oneflare serves to be 'the flare' that each customer sends out to get the attention they need. When a flare goes up, local businesses come running. Invigorated by this vision, the Oneflare brand was born.
