Frequently asked questions

How long does the application take?

Three to five minutes online. No heavy paperwork is required at the start: supporting documents are only requested in later steps, if your profile is selected.

Do I need a personal contribution to apply?

Not necessarily. Sooba Group studies four ways to access the work tool — investor, bank or microfinance loan, sponsor, self-funding — case by case, never automatically.

Do I need to know the trade already?

No. Admitted entrepreneurs follow trade and business training with Sooba Academy before receiving their work tool.

When will I get an answer?

We aim to give a first answer within seven days. If your profile is pre-selected, a twenty-minute interview is then arranged with the team.

Are financing or income guaranteed?

No. No step of the journey is a guarantee of financing, income or final admission. Simulations remain indicative.

What happens to my personal data?

It is used only to review your application, with your explicit consent. It is never published on the website.
