Frequently asked questions

Do you finance industrial startups?

Yes - provided the project is built on solid fundamentals :

  • Tangible industrial assets
  • A credible business model
  • A consistent risk-return profile

We support industrial startups when the financial logic is robust, even if the business model is innovative.

In particular, we support startups developing "as-a-service" models requiring dedicated financing structures.

Do you finance projects outside the industrial sector ? Do you finance software, R&D, and trade receivables?

No. We focus exclusively on financing tangible industrial assets.

Soka Finance is deliberately specialized in industrial financing. This specialization enables us to deliver highly relevant, credible, and effective solutions alongside our financing partners.

What determines the cost of financing?

The cost of financing depends on several factors, including the nature of the asset, the structure of the transaction, the risk profile, and the level of flexibility required.

We work with a wide range of financing partners. Some offer pricing close to traditional bank levels, while others provide more flexible or complex structures, typically associated with higher expected returns.

What is the typical timeline to secure financing?

The timeline depends on the complexity of the project and the quality of the information available.

On average :

  • 4 to 8 weeks for standard transactions
  • Longer for more complex or multi-asset structures

Our structured approach and direct access to relevant financing partners allow us to accelerate the process
