History

B2Holding was established in its current form in November 2011, and the Group has since then grown rapidly.

B2Holding is built on experience gained from the debt purchase and collection industry during and after the Nordic banking crisis of the 1990s, and this Nordic background is important for the strategy chosen.

The management team and founders have solid experience from the financial services industry. Their track records include successful ventures such as Aktiv Kapital (now PRA Group) and Gothia Financial Group (now Arvato Financial Solutions).

B2Holding utilises its knowledgebase in countries where there are debt problems to be dealt with, but where the markets for the Group's services might be more or less developed.
