Family-owned · Built for the long term
Building a lasting legacy for a brighter future.
Sofino is a family-owned group that builds, owns and operates companies for the long term — across health and social care, technology, staffing, education and longevity.
We don't back other people's businesses to flip them. We build our own — and we keep them.

Owners, not allocators
Most capital is impatient — buy, squeeze, sell.
Most capital buys, squeezes and sells inside a fund cycle — stripping value out before the next sale.
Bought to be sold.
Most owners buy a business already planning the exit.
Value stripped out.
Costs are cut and cash extracted to flatter a short-term sale.
Then it's gone.
A flip breaks the momentum and the mission the team built.
Impatient capital.
A group built to last.
Every company we own leads with its own brand, team and mission. We give them the capital, the systems and the time to become the best at what they do.
