Our story
Easy. Simple. Secure. CoHire helps local people hire tools and equipment with confidence, earn from gear they already own, and waste less along the way.
Learn moreCoHire started from a simple feeling that many families know well.

I believe communities become stronger when people help one another. I saw families spending money on items they would only use once, while others nearby already owned them. CoHire was created to make renting simple, affordable, and accessible, while giving people the opportunity to earn from items they already have.
Together, we're building CoHire one step at a time, listening to our community and creating a trusted marketplace where neighbours, local businesses, and communities can share more and waste less.
Francis Selvaraj
Co-Founder
I've always enjoyed building products that solve real problems. One thing I kept noticing was how expensive it could be to rent equipment for a short job, while many useful items sat unused in people's homes and garages. I believed there had to be a better way to connect people who needed an item with those willing to share it. That idea became CoHire.
What drives us
Our mission
Our mission is to make renting simple, affordable, and accessible for everyone. We help people save money by renting instead of buying, reduce waste by giving useful items a longer life, support local businesses, and create opportunities for owners to earn passive income from things they already have.
Our vision
Our vision is to become a trusted one stop place for local hiring, where neighbours, families, and local businesses can rent and share useful items easily. We want to support stronger communities, reduce environmental waste, and help people get more value from the things around them.
What we do
We bring listings, booking requests, secure payments, and on-platform messaging together in one place. Owners can earn from tools that might otherwise sit unused, while renters can access what they need without the cost of buying new.
Trust and safety
We support a safer rental experience through account checks, clear booking records, and practical dispute support when issues arise. Our team continuously improves these processes so owners and renters can use CoHire with confidence.
