~$1 Million Financing Facility for Aprio Helps Drive Vancouver Software Company Growth Efforts~

VANCOUVER, BCOctober 23, 2018 – TIMIA Capital Corporation (“TIMIA” or the “Company”) (TSX-V:TCA) today announced that it has entered into a $1 million investment facility for Aprio Inc. (“Aprio”) of Vancouver, BC. The financing facility includes an initial disbursement of $400,000, which has been advanced, and a further $600,000 to be disbursed upon certain milestones being met over the term of the agreement.

“We’re excited to support Aprio’s increased sales and marketing efforts with new capital,” said Greg Smith, CIO of TIMIA. “Aprio has a great reputation, long track record of success and have been a great team to work with.”

“We appreciated TIMIA’s quick response and flexible approach to our financing needs,” said Ian Warner, President & CEO, Aprio Inc. “They understood our business and provided the capital we’re looking for, without the dilution of traditional equity-based funding.”

TIMIA is continuously seeking new and exciting investments in the software as a service or SaaS industry. Under TIMIA’s revenue-based financing model, TIMIA advances capital to a SaaS business with a recurring revenue stream that requires the portfolio company to make monthly payments to TIMIA that are a combination of principal and interest with a repayment schedule sculpted to the portfolio company’s revenue streams. The amounts advanced are secured and may be repaid early, triggering a bonus payment to TIMIA.  The Company expects to make further investments in the coming months, in the pursuit of its business model, which is to earn a combination of monthly payments and periodic gains on investments.
