About us

Where the bank avoids risk, we think along with you.

We believe your business is more than a risk profile. So we look at what you want to achieve and work out the best route there together, with working capital as a means, not an end. How that works in practice, and who stands behind it, you can read below.

More than liquidity: we think along with you

We do not just provide liquidity, we think along with you. About strategy, growth and the opportunities you may not have spotted yourself. With our network and our experience we help business owners move forward, not only with money but as a sparring partner on the challenges you run into. What we actually do is set out under our solutions, and how that works out you can read in the client stories.

And that starts with getting to know each other, not with a form. Our people apply the same standards as CFOs, controllers and accountants. You deal quickly and directly with specialists, not with a service desk. Want to get into the subject first? Start in the knowledge base.

Where SOOF makes the difference

Entrepreneurship

The people behind SOOF run businesses themselves and are financial experts. They understand how you operate and see business models that have not been thought of yet.

A broad offering under one roof

Factoring, inventory finance and a business loan, combinable through one party. One point of contact for all your working capital, tailored per situation.

Taking over pledges

Are your assets already with the bank? We take over the existing pledge and coordinate the process. For many SMEs that is what tips the balance.

Get in touch

Enterprising, solid, inventive, decisive and committed

Solid and reliable

We are transparent about rates and terms, and we work to your accountant's framework. No small print.

Decisive

Quick to move, short lines, operational in days. We do not leave you waiting on months-long processes.

Committed

A named point of contact who knows your business and thinks along, including when finance is not the best route right away.

What others say

We grow seriously every year, but finding suitable finance for a young business turned out to be hard. From the first contact with SOOF: short lines, pointed questions, quick to move. My feeling straight away was that they understand entrepreneurs here.
