Helping SMEs in emerging markets buy inventory, ship it, and get financing, all in one app.

Formed by the merger of leading regional platforms Sary and ShopUp, SILQ Group provides a fully integrated ecosystem, combining B2B e-commerce, end-to-end logistics, and embedded financial services through its SILQFi arm. This full-stack approach allows the company to manage trade, facilitate cross-border shipments, and process payments seamlessly, supporting over 600,000 businesses across its network.

The company's core mission is to solve the critical barriers facing small retailers and merchants in emerging economies: highly fragmented supply chains and limited access to formal banking or working capital. By integrating financial products—such as financing and cash management—directly into the commerce and logistics flow, SILQ enables these businesses to overcome capital constraints, scale smarter, and transition from traditional trading to modern, digitized operations.
