Business loan: buy out the bank and free up your pledges

With a business loan from SOOF you restructure existing finance and take over pledges from the bank. That releases your receivables, stock and property, so you can combine them with factoring or inventory finance.

Buying out the bank so that headroom is released

Many SMEs get stuck at the same point: the bank will not go further, but holds on to all the security. Receivables, stock and property are pledged, and that makes alternative finance look impossible.

A business loan from SOOF is mainly intended to break that situation open. We fund the buy-out of the bank, which releases the pledges. We then combine that with factoring or inventory finance, so that your working capital genuinely starts working.

Taking over pledges is precision work: several parties are involved and the order matters. SOOF has experience coordinating processes like this and keeps control, so that you do not end up in the middle. After set-up the ongoing administrative burden is limited, and we make clear in advance what we need from you and what it costs.

Bottlenecks SOOF Finance solves for you

Your bank holds on to your security and will not lend more. Does this sound familiar?

  • Your receivables, stock or property are pledged, which stalls new finance
  • The bank will not lend more, but will not release the collateral either
  • Your book is healthy, but you can do nothing with it

A business loan prises that loose. We buy out the bank and free up your pledges, so that you can combine that headroom with factoring or inventory finance.
